A good first impression can work wonders

Harley Benton CST-24 E-Gitarre

It is hard to say for certain just how much a player has to spend in order to get their hands on a really good guitar - after all, it always depends on their personal expectations. One thing that is certain, however, is that the quality of the affordable instruments coming out of the Far East is now such that musicians now get significantly more for their money than in decades past. The price-performance ratio offered by the Harley Benton CST-24 (shown here in its Paradise Flame finish) is a prime example: Just 30 years ago, players would have had to spend much more and content themselves with a far inferior instrument, so those just starting out on the guitar today can look forward to doing so on a solid, high-quality instrument - all the more so since their budget can now stretch to a suitable practice amplifier and other accessories like a gig bag, spare strings, and more.

A modern classic

It is obvious where the Harley Benton CST-24 takes its stylistic cues from, but this guitar still exudes a character of its own. The CST-24 features a meranti body with an arched maple top and flamed maple veneer together with a meranti neck and a fingerboard made from roasted jatoba. The latter boasts a full 24 medium stainless steel frets and white dot inlays, and both the fingerboard and the front edge of the body are adorned with cream-coloured binding that matches the matching pickup rings perfectly. Harley Benton has not cut any corners in terms of hardware and electronics either, which is reflected in the Roswell HAF AlNiCo-5 open-coil humbucking pickups, which are governed by a three-way toggle switch, master volume control, and master tone control (which also includes a push-pull function for coil splitting).

Beauty meets practicality

It has to be admitted that guitarists have two main things in mind when they look for a new instrument, and the first of these is definitely the way it looks. The Harley Benton CST-24 thoroughly delivers the goods here, and if instruments from Harley Benton were not already renowned for their incredible price-performance ratio, the wealth of features that this guitar brings with it despite the budget-friendly price could surely set a new record in terms of value for money. The second thing guitarists look for is a combination of playing comfort and a good amplified sound. Needless to say, the Harley Benton CST-24 does not fall short here in any way, and the guitar's excellent sound and impressive versatility make it an ideal instrument for starting out and playing those first concerts.

For full-on Rock and much more

When looking at the Harley Benton CST-24's specs, design, and features, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that this is a guitar built purely for Rock music. But the limits to what this guitar can do are really only defined by the player: While packing plenty of power and punch, the two humbucking pickups also possess excellent dynamics and, thanks to the coil split function and the highly effective volume and tone controls, will also deliver a diverse palette of different tones to suit a range of musical styles.

Un achat très pertinent !
Matthieu6661 23.06.2015
C'est vraiment la guitare idéale à mon sens.
Une lutherie d'excellente qualité par rapport au prix payé, un sillet très bien réglé, des micros wilkinsons etc. Un très bon cheval de bataille.
Elle a nécessité deux trois réglages à la réception, mais c'est vraiment une base excellente. On pourrait lui ajouter un push-pull pour splitter les humbuckers, des mécaniques bloquantes (les mécaniques d'origine font carrément le boulot) et un treble bleed (je trouve les wilkinsons d'origine un 'poil' boueux... ça doit être lié aux potars de volume que je pousse pas à fond).
Aucune frette qui dépasse, une finition soignée, des défonces propres pour les micros et les cavités (peintes en apprêt). C'est un excellent clone de Custom 24 d'une marque célèbre...
Le manche est une autoroute, la guitare est bien équilibrée et pas trop lourde (j'ai une LesPaul est cette dernière est plus lourde). Le corps est bien chanfreiné, très confortable.
La seule petite subtilité est son diapason entre celui d'une strat et d'une LesPaul, ça ne sonnera jamais comme une strat ou une LesPaul mais en installant un push-pull pour splitter ça peut jouer absolument tout avec brio.
Il ne faut pas hésiter à régler les micros en hauteur, régler les plots etc à la réception pour trouver *le* son qui nous plait.
Le bridge "wraparound" est un peu particulier, j'avais un peu peur de ne pas pouvoir régler l’intonation correctement mais pas de soucis. Une fois bien réglé c'est le bonheur, on y touche plus si on ne change pas de tirant.
C'est un peu les sensations de jeu d'une strat' et l'épaisseur sonore d'une LesPaul : le meilleur des deux mondes.
Un achat que je referais les yeux fermés.
