Excellent guitar, with a few QC details to improve

JaiMinho 06.10.2026

I am extremely impressed with this guitar. The overall quality is exceptional for its price range, and the flamed maple on the neck and fingerboard is absolutely stunning. The Vega Trem VT1 Ultratrem is also a fantastic feature at this price point.

I own several guitars from other brands, including a MIM Charvel San Dimas in the same general style and at roughly twice the price, and this Harley Benton compares remarkably well. In some respects, I would even say the Harley Benton shows better attention to detail.

Unfortunately, mine arrived with three small cosmetic/QC imperfections: a minor blemish on the front edge of the headstock, a small deformation in the finish around one of the neck mounting washers, and an incorrectly cut first-string slot in the nut. The latter is more significant, as the string tends to sit too far inward, resulting in incorrect string spacing and potentially requiring professional correction.

These issues are disappointing, but they do not change my overall impression: this is an outstanding instrument for the money. With slightly tighter quality control on these details, it would be an exceptional product.

Overall: highly recommended.

Endlich die perfekte St Modern

thomannkunde1 12.10.2026

Ich habe in der Vergangenheit schon einige St Modern Plus ausprobiert, die mich nicht überzeugen konnten. Mal war es schlechte Bundabrichtung, mal war es das schwere Gewicht (Esche), Pickup Konfiguration (HSS) oder etwas von dem ich eh schon genug hatte (Floyd Rose). Deswegen ging manches retour oder wurde von mir weiterverkauft. Bei diesem Instrument wusste ich gleich nach dem Setup, dass ich es behalte. Auf dem Papier klang es schon fantastisch - eine Gitarre wie Carlos Ascencio Modell (Vegatrem, abgeschliffene Rückseite) aber endlich in HH Konfiguration und dabei noch 150€ günstiger als Carlos Ascencio. Ich habe sofort zugeschlagen.

Als ich die Gitarre ausgepackt habe, habe ich etwas Sorgen wegen Saitenverlauf gehabt. Denn die dicke E war schon ziemlich nah am Griffbrettrand. Es lag aber an der ungünstig positionierten Brücke, nicht am krumm gesetzten Hals. Wie schön, dass das Vegatrem etwas Spiel in jede Richtung hat, so habe ich mit entspannten Saiten die Messer besser zentriert.

Dann habe ich die Saitenlage sehr flach eingestellt. Auf der hohen e bestimmt 1.3-1.4 mm. Und sie macht alles mit.

Das einzige, was mich etwas enttäuscht hat, war das Fehlen von zusätzlichen Federn, die man je nach Saitenstärke einsetzen soll. Beim Kauf eines Vegatrems sind diese dabei. Im der Gitarre beiliegenden Vegatrem Manual wird auf die zusätzlichen Federn auch verwiesen, diese sind aber nicht dabei - blöd. Da ich selber lieber 9er Saiten spiele, wäre es nicht schlecht die Dinger mal zu inkludieren, zumal Thomann sie einzeln nicht im Sortiment hat. Aber komischerweise fühlt sich der 10er Satz auf der Gitarre nicht so kräftig an. Deswegen passt es soweit für mich.
