Single Cut with The Balls
Sharps 28.05.2021
Guitar composed very carefully and neatly, colours are looking tasty and I got it in one piece despite of two-weak shipping in my country. Action is really low, gear is settled well, and a REALLY minor problem are machine heads. They seemed to me a bit loose, but again - that's the only thing after two weeks of use.
Now the sweetest part of the instrument: wood and pickups selected perfectly well. I mean even unplugged guitar sounds pretty loud and once it turned on you get a really evil and deep distorted sound.
Really, for its price the instrument more than worth it. Especially for hard-rock and metal music

S
The best Harley Benton for metal
SamovarCustom 21.02.2022
I received it today, there was an hour for inspection and testing, everything looks excellent, beautifully executed finish, magic tuners, a comfortable neck (but slightly less convenient than on my SC-550) When connecting the jack to the socket, difficulties arose, he enters there with great difficulty. I will fix this malfunction, of course, but it was somehow unexpected for such a wonderfully made guitar. Therefore, I put only 4 points out of 5 for the quality. I would put 6 for the sound, but it doesn't get more than 5.

Flawless!
Lev Ivanov 07.04.2022
The guitar came in flawless.
After tuning the strings, intonation was spot on; action was low enough for my liking with no fret buzz anywhere; all the electronics work; neck is straight and no cosmetic imperfections anywhere.

Plays beautifully and I couldn't be more satisfied.10/10. I highly recommend this model.

Feels like a £500 guitar!
GuitarsAreHard 14.04.2024
This guitar certainly has a lot of bang for its buck and punches way, way above its weight, plus it looks gorgeous! I would be giving the same review if I'd paid £500 for it! It will smoke anything in it's price range. People have commented on it's looks too! It's a thing of beauty. You could easily gig this guitar, plus it's active pickups are great if you have a long effects chain. It will easily cut through in a live situation. I used to play this guitar all the time, but I've since bought Fenders, Gibsons & a Gretsch, and I find I reach for it less these days. If I ever gig again though, I'll definitely consider using it. There's a review on my YouTube channel. You should certainly short list this guitar.

A piece of something incredible
Daemonelix 27.08.2023
Just received this guitar. Well, took a little bit time, but it was worth it. I was impressed with the setup. Even my old Epihhone comparing to this one sounded like a crap. Very pleased with the strings lock. Never ever had before. D'Addario strings by default is very good, but I prefer different strings from the same company, not a big deal. Anyway they stay in tune and sounds very good. I've got HeadRush Mx5 and all together the sound is incredible. EMG pickups really surprised me. Evelish metal powerchords and besides, very well balanced clean sound. OK, others gonna complain, it's kinda Les Paul guitar not Stratocaster for clean sound, but... I never liked Stratocaster, sorry for that. Guitar is worth every single penny. The build, the sound.

Fantastic
T87EV 29.05.2021
Truly fantastic guitar, and not just for the money. The binding and finish work has zero imperfections and is very well done with very smooth finish. Locking tuners are smooth and the nut was cut well with no string binding and solid tuning stability. Unlike a prior more affordable “inspired by” single cut guitar… The fretwork is great on this guitar. I could find no unlevel frets and all ends are very smooth. Electronics are clean, toggle switch is very sturdy with no play. All I did was put my preferred string gauge on the guitar and adjust the string height to taste, and it was ready to play. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well made, slightly modernized single cut guitar.

I am satisfied with the purchase
Alexandr Bortnikov 26.04.2022
Great tool. Beautiful guitar. There are no flaws in appearance. The guitar is comfortable and pleasant. The sound is tight and rich. The only thing I changed was that I installed straplocks on the instrument and now I'm ready to perform. Definitely recommend to buy - the guitar is worth the money.
