A complete joke
You watch videos (those smiling boys on YT), you see the description and picture. You know it is Harley Benton, but you hope that for once delivered guitar will be like on those videos.
It will not. It is Harley Benton, when product manager and QC shall be fired instantly.
It could be great guitar. I am serious.
Wood is OK, frets are made better than in some 400+ Euro guitars. Nice finish. Sounds so well from wood.
But:
- Neck is glued under way too big angle.
- Bridge is (strings) 2,3 cm over body
- Bridge posts are from some other model, as it hangs angled (too much space for the bridge
- Pickup is 6 millimeters away from strings, and there is no way to put it higher (no foam under, no springs)
The whole thing is really a joke.
I bought 7 different Harley Benton guitars from Thomann, and no single one was playable.
Even, when it is entry-level, super cheap guitar, it shall not be a crap.

Beware
Long story short..Everything is ok on this guitar - except...
PICKUP (you know, black litlle thing primarily responsible for YOUR sound.
It has two BIG flaws:
1.It can't be adjusted,up or down (and when you raise your bridge sound becomes unfocused and weak
2.it sound like telecaster pickup (don't get me wrong I love telecaster sound, but on this one I wanted classic P90 growl - not even in same neighbourhood).
Replacement pickup is a must.
