Harley Benton CST-24T LH Paradise Flame

Okay, let me start off my saying you don't need to spend $1000 for a good guitar. I love this guitar. Everything about it I love, I love the Flame Top, The pickups, the neck, everything. I'll start with the flame top, it's absolutely beautiful to look at. Next, the pickups, the pickups have such a bright sound to them and I love them so much. The bridge, usually in the past I had wrap around bridges and tune-o-matic bridges which were a pain, this bridge is awesome. Along with this, the action, at least for me, of this guitar is amazing. The neck: the neck is perfect for me, I prefer fatter necks, Not really a big fan of thinner necks, This neck was perfect for me, that's just my personal opinion. The neck also had no fret spurs on it at all which was awesome. Tuners: The tuners are great, this guitar rarely goes out of tune. you can bend so much and the tuners never let go. In the end, I give this guitar 5/5 stars because it deserves it 100%. Never let name or price influence you. Just because it's not name brand or expensive, does not mean it's a bad guitar. I paid double what I paid for this once and got a piece of garbage. (Dillion les paul junior) so I highly recommend this guitar for any of you lefties who want a PRS style guitar but can't afford the $800 - $5000 sticker price. (P.S. I haven't used the tremolo yet. Haven't really wanted to but I'm sure its awesome)

I so wanted a left-handed version of the CST24-T I could taste it. Well it was finally offered and arrived today. Better than I could have wished for. Absolutely beautiful finish a few minor flaws as expected in its price range. Setup out of the box was spot on except intonation of 2 strings no big deal. No fret buzz anywhere plays like a dream. Sound is stunning and it came with a nice unexpected surprise. Coil Tap switch. This is my second Harley Benton but surely not my last. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed. Another surprise it only took 6 days to arrive in western New York State.

A friend of mine told me what great value Harley Benton guitars were, and whilst checking out the left-hand models, I came across the CST-24T LH. I fell in love with her immediately and ordered one. She needed a little setting up when she arrived, but so did my Fender Stratocaster. And the guitar? There is only one word to describe this little gem - beautiful. She looks great, feels great, and (very important, of course) sounds great. The workmanship is as good as on any of my more expensive guitars, and I personally have no issues with Wilkinson pickups. Indeed, this has now become my guitar of choice. I just love it. It is fairly heavy - as heavy as my Les Paul - but I like some weight to my guitar, and the PRS-style body sculpting is very comfortable, allowing easy access to the high end of the 24 frets. At around £195, it is incredible value for money. Even if you are a purist Gibson/Fender/PRS/Rickenbacker guitarist, just give this one a try. You will not be disappointed.

Esta es mi octava guitarra HB adquirida de la generosa gente de Thomann, la más cara a la fecha, y saben qué, vale cada centavo (incluído el por demás oneroso costo de envío!:-7)!

La apariencia es rutilante, el contraste entre los colores de la tapa de maple y el reverso de caoba le dan un toque único, todo esto rematado por el ribete que hace juego con el borde del diapasón y los marcos de los humbuckers, es una sinfonía mágica e inspiradora.

Hablando de las pastillas, se defienden bastante al tener un sonido muy moderno y afilado, preciso y muy brillante, hasta en el neck.

No le cambiaría nada (en el corto plazo:-7), y claro por demás está decir que el proyecto que tenía de adquisición de su "original" de los pajaritos, queda postergado esta vez sí ya para el larguísimo plazo!

I love my Harley Benton CTS,
Everything I wanted in a Guitar I can Afford.
The CTS Guitar has Passed all My Major Check Points - Perfect String Alignment from Nut to Bridge and along fretboard, Good Neck Angle, Smooth Quiet Electronics, oh and Good Looks, the finish is nice!
The Body is Solid, just under a LP weight, Good Sustain and I have the String Action Low. The Pickups have Clarity and a Decent Tone from Wilkinson's and the single coil split. A Solid smooth shaped bridge which is good for the palm rest..
Things I have adjusted are Saddles String Height, Nut Height, Slight Truss rod tighten, and Leveled a Couple of frets. 90% were o.k
Delivery Well Boxed and Delivered in 13 days from Germany to Australia.

Thank you Thomann the Lefty Specialists!!!

Yesterday I received my left handed Harley Benton CST24t and I am blown away with the quality and playability of this instrument for such a great price. This is my 5th Harley Benton guitar and have to admit by far the best, it looks place and feels absolutely stunning. After a little set up and quarter tone of the truss rod it plays as well as Any so-called high-end guitar I've played, probably plays even better . Being a left-handed player you don't get much choice in electric guitars but Thomann have pulled a rabbit out of the hat again and offered us the lefties some great choices in electric are guitars and I believe some new models to come in 2018 which I'm really looking forward to. If anyone out there is thinking of buying one of these guitars, stop thinking and do it they are amazing and fantastic value you just can't beat their prices. Thank you Thomann you've exceeded all my expectations and I look forward to my next purchase
