Harley Benton ST-90SA Swamp Ash DLX Series 2-stars Reviews

Serious miscalculation in geometry

Disappointed with this product for the following reasons:

1. The first string does not sound adequate, I think it's a mechanical defect

2. Very rough frets (although this can be easily fixed)

3. The main defect that devalues everything is the incorrect installation of the bridge, its supports are set further from the neck by a few millimeters than it should be, and when I began to tune the scale, the saddle of the first string rested against the support, which did not allow the saddle to be moved to the desired position ( towards the neck). This defect is eliminated only by reinstalling the supports in the correct position, and this is a serious alteration. The guitar is currently unplayable because it is not possible to adjust the scale

Not what's pictured

Guitar showed up with a much lighter finish than the photo on the website. Body was made of two pieces of wood which were two completely different shades and no attempt to match the grain. Set-up was terrible, and the spring saddle in the back of the tremolo was installed incorrectly and then moved without filling either of the previous two holes. There was almost no edge distance between the holes which will probably lead to cracking. Pretty sad seeing it had several tags indicating it passed quality control.
