A bit rough but sounds great
DrGisby 23.07.2021
The pickups in this sound great and they were the 1 thing I thought I might change but I don't need to. Overall the guitar looks great, however.....
The tone pots have been wired left handed with left handed knobs but they are logarithmic potentiometers meaning that wired backwards they are now reverse log and the tone is more like an on/off switch around 1. The bridge radius doesn't quite match the fretboard radius so the action of the D and A string are too low when the rest are set correctly. The low E saddle screw head was completely stripped making it impossible to adjust. The bridge pickup ring contour doesn't match the archtop contour leaving a gap. The frets were very scratchy and needed polishing and the fretboard itself is very rough to the extent that the pearloid inlays look like matte white plastic.
I will be able to make this play and feel brilliant but it's going to take more work than I expected

So i played for 6 hours when i put my hands on this guitar and it feels and sounds amazing i wasn't expecting this kind of quality with these pickups and it suprised me i actually like this guitar better then my old epiphone les paul what can i say it has its problems i don't think the knobs on this guitar is good quality because they don't actually fit on the guitar like its supposed to fit it has a little blank between the guitar and the knobs but it's not that big of a problem you cant see it properly if you dont look for it and this thing has a killer look and i love love and love the fretboard its so fun to play with and jam all day long It's not very bad at staying in tune but it's not very good either it does what it supposed to do and a little bit less if you are looking for a nice single cut guitar this is the one you need trust me .

Truly, blown away.

My guitar arrived in PERFECT SHAPE. It’s gorgeous. The SOUND, the woods and construction, the neck and its stainless steel frets, the finish and setup…. Man…. I spent 4 hours playing, on its first day. Wow. My 4th Harley Benton. They keep getting better.

Good bang for your buck
Antoine from Canada 08.01.2023
Pretty impressive for the price. I did have an issue with a dead pickup upon arrival but that was rectified by Thomann customer service and I was pleased overall with the process. Gorgeous finish, fretwork looked clean and only needed a personal setup to suit my tastes. Good balance l, nice feel and craftsmanship, really pleased with this purchase. This is not my first Harley Benton, nor will it be my last!

Beautiful look, great sound
George3 14.08.2021
Got this yesterday, and I was extremely happy with how fast it arrived!

I haven't spent a lot of time with it, but here are my first impressions:
1.+ It's beautiful. The finish is immaculate.
2.+ It sounds awesome. The pickups have a great sound.
3. - The negative -- I'm getting some fret buzz. I'll attempt some adjustments myself or take it somewhere and have a professional set-up done. Not a huge deal, but will need to be done.

Is this as good as a top of the line Epiphone or Les Paul??
Anonymous 16.12.2022
Incredible value. Construction and style for such a reasonable price. Beautiful vintage style. Humbuckers and components are as good as the known brands that cost so much more. Great for any genre of music. This is a winner. I am a lefty and a left handed guitar is harder to come by and usually rather expensive. The price is a give a way.
