Terrible fretwork
jarrodwhitley 10.03.2022
I own three HB guitars and this one does not match the quality of the others. The fretwork is terrible. multiple uneven frets means that not matter how I set the action I still get really bad fret buzzing. Now I have to take it somewhere to get the frets leveled. It will likely cost as much as this guitar cost me. I'm very disappointed in this guitar.

Great but finishing and quality control could improve
Tallshrew 27.04.2021
Neck on the "Deluxe" model had some nasty spikey fret ends on delivery. Some of the screw holes for attachment of the scratchplate (pickguard) have not been lined up perfectly thus there are screws which sit proud at untidy angles which looks to have been caused by being drilled before fitting the neck as the scratchplate is very tight to the neck pushing it out of alignment with the holes. The pickup selector would not select bridge pickup (either alone or with middle) until I fixed it (had this been tested it would have failed). Needed a significant setup including filing nut slots, neck shim and fret levelling.
Well that's the negative out of the way, now the positive. Following setup plays and feels good, tuners are good quality and hold tune, vibrato bridge is fine and works well. It sounds great, like a real ST which is certainly not a given even with more expensive ST types. Pickups are very good, no need to change (take note I changed the pickups on my other three Harley Benton electrics). Other than what I have already pointed out the finish is good, Olympic White being a slightly yellow white somewhere between White and Vintage White though all the gold plate and anodising may not be to everyone's taste; bear in mind the aluminium scratchplate provides decent hum shielding.
I've had the scratchplate off to inspect the electronics. Predicatably there is a PCB type selector rather than a blade type which is fine with me. Very pleasantly surprisingly, the pots are full size (!) and there are two (green) tone capacitors, one for each tone pot both unusual for budget guitars. Perhaps there is more than meets the eye to the "Deluxe" tag.
Summarising: as stated above, not quite all it should be out of the box but with a significant setup is now a jolly good instrument at a great price though less so if, unlike me, you need to pay for someone else to do the setup.

Fantastic

Absolutely the best HB I've bought, everything is outstanding at this price point, nothing I don't like. Well done Harley Benton.

Cool guitar better than Squiers in the same price
Aloyzo Cloopa 14.06.2023
The biggest plus for me in this guitar is radius, which makes bending easier than Fender's line. It is a perfect budget stratocaster.
