good quality for an inexpensive guitar.
neck is smooth, no fret sprout, not going out of tune easily even after hundreds of bends, and it feels pretty well made for a guitar thats made in China. Pickguard looks and feels a bit cheap though, electronics aren't that good too. you might want to change it. So you can modify it easily by putting a pre-wired pickguard.
Edit after a month: I currently changed the pickups with casual fender pickups, its a cool guitar to have it but the frets are all weared out, you even can visually see that the top of the frets are gone, and now its not possible to do bends with this guitar. Wearing out after a month is crazy. So if you buy this guitar you surely have to refret because frets are extremely soft. But refretting a low budget guitar like this isn't really makes sense.

Nice light Strat
Lovely guitar. Neck,action and setup were great. Usual issue though. Plastic scratch guard a mess. The chamfer around the outside had obviously been tarted up by hand after a failed machining operation.
Don't do it! Put it in the bin and do another one. 10p. Pity. V visible. When I can be bothered I'll sort it. But at the price I have a relaxed attitude to minor stuff.
Great fun guitar. Love it.

Less than I expected
I bought this guitar because I wanted to try the Sonic series (and another strat).
The color was beautiful, the small body looks and feels great, but the deal breaker was the fretwork: it was a mess, scratchy and rough/unpolished...
When Harley Benton is offering SUCH AMAZING guitars at this price point, I don't see how this kind of fretwork is acceptable
On the other hand the sound was sweet and beautiful !
The action was Ok out of the box.
If it wasn't for the unfinished fretwork I would have 100% kept the guitar

Sonic strat
This was my second sonic
Neck is nice tuners ok
Middle pickup failed after 3 weeks just went dead. Checked the switch it was fine
Would not stay in tune even after full set up
So a new nut and string tee in wrong position
Conclusion for the money you can buy better
The only thing good on this is the neck but you will have to do some fret leveling disappointing
