A worthwhile upgrade!
I'd looked at the idea of getting stainless steel frets for a while, having never played a guitar with them in. I'd also bought a few Harley Bentons in the past.
Harley Bentons always have issues with the fretwork, so I normally get them fret dressed by my local luthier. For a change, I decided to buy the Harley Benton CST-24T P90 and add the Stainless Steel re-fret/Plek to my basket.
Even with everything going on at the moment, the wait time was only just under a month, which I am very happy about.
The work looks to have been done very well. I believe they've also conditioned the fretboard, as the Harley Bentons are usually very dry, but this one is great.
It's turned a Harley Benton into a completely different guitar playing experience that could compete with any guitar at least twice it's value.
Would highly recommend getting a Plek service, and especially with a stainless steel re-fret.
The only thing to note is that the guitar tech sets the guitar up with a considerable forward bow, which will need adjusting when you receive the guitar. This is possible for transit reasons.
Update: 1 start removed, as they no longer offer this service on new guitars.
