Im a Harley Benton fan, this one was my 3rd HB guitar and I guess I have been lucky with the other 2. They were flawless.
This one though, had many issues straight out of the box:
- The neck was not aligned with the body, how can this pass Quality control ?
- Frets were rough, could hear them screech with every bending
- High E string easily sliding out of fretboard when fretting, likely related to neck not aligned with body
- Neck pickup sounds quite dull
- Split coil function makes it sound very thin, requires volume and gain adjustments on your signal to make it work
- Locking tuners were not really locking, after a relatively mild whammy bar push/pull, it would detune
Honestly the only good thing about it was the bridge pickup, that one sounded lovely. But the rest of the problems were not worth keeping it
