Il miglior acquisto di sempre

La chitarra si presenta estremamente bella , curata nei minimi dettagli, senza alcuna imperfezione. Unici dettagli che probabilmente indicano un livello economy sono le chivi che comunqu funzionano benissimo e tengono l'accordatura e i potenziometri dei toni e del volume che al tocco sembrano di plastica fragile . Poco evidenti anche le variazioni agendo su di essi. In ogni caso il suono è potente e ben definito , nulla a invidiare a strumenti ben più costosi ( provata in parallelo ad una stato fender Mexico e quasi impossibile trovare differenze sul suono !) Ho ragione di credere che con una cordiera nuova possa migliorare ancora . Pacco arrivato in una settimana confezionato a prova di bomba Consigliatissima

An excellent guitar for the cost, highly recommended.

I've owned Fender Strats and many homages and this offering from Harley Benton is certainly one of the best S style guitars I've owned. Good sound, very nice build quality and finishing. Very comfortable to pick up and play, worth every penny.

Playable guitar with impeccable quality

This is my second HB. And I am impressed with this one.

My first HB is SC 450 and It is completely ok for me but It has some small finish flaws. Regarding ST-62. It feels and sound good for me. But comparing to SC 450 it has no finish flaws AT ALL.

I really enjoy my ST-62

tones for days!

This one came perfectly setup, the neck pickup on these models seemed a bit too bassy/boomy on the highest three strings but that minor problem seemed solved when i put ernie ball super slinky's on it.

there's nothing to complain about other than that, and it took just a pack of strings to solve it. It plays like butter!

Great ST Budget Guitar

Everything seems to be great, after 6 months. Little work on the truss rod and no buzzing. For the price I have not found a better value.

Love at first strum!

This guitar has been in my sights for months before I finally had the disposable income free to get it. And it was worth the fawning over, before this I'd had many a 'stratoclone' and they'd all been riddled with some issues, from incredibly poorly functioning whammy springs, to the truss rod not adjusting at all, to electronics being so coated in wood glue the pickups are near impossible to replace.

This guitar felt right, it felt strong, the spring system for the whammy bar hasn't caused an issue for me ever, the action is perfect, the tone knobs are nice and the contrast between 0-10 is wider than I've heard on anything else (outside of active pickup systems.)

the pickups are just wonderful too, perfectly height-set Roswell's that have that sound you'd expect from a clean S-body. Even with the gain is just sounds perfect! Exactly what I wished for from a guitar that's stood the test of time shape-wise. That maple neck feels real special to me too. I think it's the first I've used because it is very different to all my other guitars, it feels dense under the string, doesnt make bending a struggle or anything.

I've been through many guitar's before this, haven't had want for a single guitar more since I got this, just love it.

My student asked me to order this guitar. It's a good guitar for beginners...

Nice guitar.

This is a nice guitar and plays well. It is a classic look and feel for a strat-like guitar. Great price and value.

It's a great first electric guitar.

It's a great first electric guitar. Since this is my first guitar, I may not be entirely objective. The guitar sounds great to me, I used to play solid acoustic before it, and the sound experience is great. The neck and fingerboard are well made, I have long chosen between maple and Pau Ferro and am happy with my choice. All bolts and nuts are screwed well, I haven't looked under the hood yet). But not without dirt. The joint of the pickguard and bridge is made sloppily( and even very). And I think this is the last negative. Pegs hold the line well. In General the guitar I really liked and I don't think her return. Greetings to friends from Russia-the guitar reached Novosibirsk in 12 days and Moscow in 5. In short a cool guitar. P.S. Sorry i used a google translate
