Could of , would of , should of
To start off my previous experience with Harley Benton Guitars has been nothing but amazing, My Jumbo and 12 string acoustic have been nothing but amazing. seriously the quality on those acoustics is incredible.
Now lets get to this guitar, First off the guitar is very beautiful Ived gotten so many compliments , I cant complain about the finish on the guitar but..thats pretty much were the good things end.
1. The build quality is just bad on my guitar , theres is so much glue left on the inside of the guitar it really paints a different picture as to my previous experiences.
2. Never complained about sharp frets before but unfortunately with this one ived already cut myself a couple times.
3. The neck angle is off on my guitar the lower E string just doesnt fall on the pick up, I messed around with the floating bridge and I sort off made it work but still.
4. Probably the most annoying you cant use the Tremolo and if you do well you are going to have to tune it because it does not hold tune at all.
I really want to Love this guitar but wow they really dropped the ball on this one, believe me ived tried to make it work I even bought a “String butler” for the tuning issue but it only does so much. If you have read this far then buyer beware at least this model, as stated before my previous experience has been nothing but great with the acoustics but so far the electrics have been a little disappointing.

Ok for the price but inspect thoroughly.
Used for messing about at home, nothing serious. OK looks (+), but the build quality is poor as the strings lay a bit too much towards the treble side. The result is that the 2 bass strings do not fall directly over their pickup poles. It's as if the neck is slightly off center. No amount of bridge positioning would correct this issue as the bridge floats on the body and over time would position itself back to what it thinks is normal. I had to reposition the tremolo to correct. Some of the internal wiring had masking tape around the connections which makes me think this guitar was previously returned and then reissued. I should have returned it.
