Although made to a tight budget, you get a great sounding guitar that's really nice to play without having to change anything. For me, the HH pickup configuration with coil tap gives me everything I need, more so than HSH version. The guitar is well made and finished with no visible defects bar one. The fret ends needed finishing with some sharp edges. The frets were otherwise good and level and now having filed the ends, I prefer them to any other in my collection. The pickups sound good and output respectable and pots work well enough. The bridge is better than a lot I have tried. It does not have a locking nut which for me is better and why I avoided the Floyd Rose versions. The locking tuners are very good. One problem with many Harley Benton's is the necks tend to be rather thick, and the bodies can be chunky too which I find uncomfortable, and I spend a lot of time finding guitars and basses in the extensive Harley Benton range with "normal" thickness necks by reading the reviews. I am glad to say that this model has a normal thickness neck. The guitar feels really nice to play, not too heavy or chunky, and as good as my more expensive guitars. I have had several Harley Benton's, some good, some bad, and you need to do your homework before buying one. This one is a good one.
