All I can say is WOW!
Just totally impressed with this guitar. This is my second Harley Benton.
The first one, the CST-24, while very good, ended up getting a total upgrade on all the electronics. The Amarok is not going to need any upgrades whatsoever. Playability, action, and sound are fantastic. The body cut is deeper than any other guitar that I own. With that, and the neck through design, everything up the neck is easy. Pickups are great sounding. I am not a metal player by any means, so maybe this is coming from a different perspective. Anyway, even though this is expensive for a HB, compared to almost everything out there similar, it blows them away at this price. Love it.

Very good for the (higher than usual) price
The guitar came in pretty much set up - only the intonation needed some adjustments that are a dream compared to setting a Floyd Rose type bridge. Looks great, plays very nice - generally very comfortable instrument. Neck is a bit thicker than your typical Ibanez but still very 'shreddable' ;) I highly recommend it to everyone in doubt.

I'm in love with this guitar
I'm a complete beginner, but one thing I know is that you have to want to pick the guitar up. This one looks and feels so good, that I want to be playing it all the time. Took it to my lesson today, my instructor who has 20 guitars, including PRS, ESP, Gibson and Fender was massively impressed. I'm looking forward making it sound like he did.

Great guitar
This is probably the best guitar I have ever played. The stainless steel Frets feel really nice when doing slides or bends. The neck is very comfortable. The pickups are great. The only downside is that my strings ‘rattle’ when playing on the low e and a string. Im not sure what causes it or if it can be fixed.

A fine bargain from Harley Benton
I've been into neck thru guitars for many years, but have seen the 'bargains' in buying them largely dry up. Until now, with this offering, including outstanding pickups, came along. I could not wait to order. Design and build quality were outstanding.

Beast of a guitar!
This guitar is fantastic, especially for it's price. Comfortable body, nice neck, great pickups, and fantastic locking tuners and bridge. The 5 piece neck-thru gives great stability and sustain. This guitar has twice the specs for half the cost than my Ibanez RGEW521FM-NTF.

Fantastic Guitar
What's not to like? Look at the specs! The sound is versatile, the finish is superb. One small thing. The jack socket is Chinese spec, so it's slightly undersize. SO jack plugs are prone to push out of the socket at a crucial moment.
I changed mine for good quality ones from CPC (REAN NYS230 if you are interested) no more worries. OK why didn't I send it back? Are you kidding! No way!. Last thing. If your battery goes flat you can squeeze enough to finish the gig. Just turn EVRYTHING to 11.

Great Guitar
This came perfect out of the box! Plays really well. Fretwork is really good. No sharp ends, and good leveling.
