A sound laboratory
To be true, it is my first electric instrument and I have only positive impressions about it. As I used to play acoustic guitar it was important for me to try as much as possible versatile instrument to understand if electric is mine, and I made the right decision when chose the Harley Benton ST-20HSS SB Standard Series. After several months, of course, I want some more and sometimes look for more advanced instrument, but then I take this guitar in my hands and understand that I didn't try this or this... It is amazing, and by this I remembered my teenages when I got my first classic guitar :)
To criticize I should only mention (1) some negligible cosmetic roughnesses (but they are almost invisible), (2) a bit angled neck (the fat E string sometimes goes out from neck on higher frets) and (3) some instability in the tone controls work in the neck-mid position (in the beginning sometimes they did nothing in this position, sometimes worked correctly, but today its ok, what was the reason I don't know). Netherless, all these critic comments are nothing at the background of overall price/quality relation.

Everything is super!
I wanted to be a rock-star one day. But I only have a classical guitar. And you can't really play rock on it. And not only rock, but also blues, funk, and so on.
And, wandering around the Internet, I came across such a wonderful store - Thomann. I compared and weighed all the prices, and concluded that any product here comes out cheaper than ours in Kazakhstan.
As a result, as a beginner, I chose the budget model. And I never regret it. The build quality is excellent. The guitar looks even better than in the photo. Everything is set up and tightened. Everything sounds great (although I tried it only in 1 combo - Harley Benton HB-15GXD JamBox, but I think it will be fine in any device). Switches, turns on everything as it should.
Conclusion - if you are a beginner, and already a seasoned guitarist - Harley Benton ST-20HSS is a great choice!

This is the best guitar for the money. There are some nuances regarding the build quality, but this does not affect the sound in any way.
A small unevenness on the neck.
Not completely polished.
The tremolo is not quite tight.

Great instrument and price
This is a very good electric guitar for a beginner.
The strings are close to the fret board and don't require tedious height readjustment (at least it was good enough for me). I did some simple tuning and it was all good.
The frets are all even in height, well finished and the width is good.
The instrument isn't "noisy" even when used in front of a PC (where it could be affected by RF signals and induction), but a higher quality shielded cable is very recommended.
The tremolo and the tonality switch along with the knobs are good to have.
I'd say it needs slightly better packaging as the guitar head's pointy end managed to crush plastic foam and almost got out of the box during shipping, but the guitar was shipped over long distance, so guess it's OK.

Well made great sounding guitar for the cost. Played straight from the packaging just a quick tune up required.

Amazing
I have had a lot of fender Stratocaster through out the years. I still own 3 American made. This Harley Benton is as good as any of my three fender strats in my colección. Truly amazing guitar !

Brilliant
For the low price this must be the best budget guitar there is - the sunburst finish and neck are first class and are a great base to add better parts to the guitar as and when you feel like it.
You just can't complain - simply a great buy.

Great guitar for teaching a child. For this little money, a surprisingly very high quality guitar. Would recommend to all newbies.
