Great guitars as you probably seen reviews all over the internet
Great guitar the neck is nice the sound is fantastic.
The 2 bad things is that the guitar is a bit heavy and my ocean flame color is nice I thought it is much prettier in realty.
Bottom line for the price - take it and enjoyed it

CST-24T Wow for price no better
Bad points don't rely on pics for colour ...still good though
set up slightly out Hight of strings via adjusters is maxed out
good points sound pretty dam good needs a good run before comment
finish is better than a lot of guitars of double the price
the price itself well speaks for itself really
happy with purchase Staff at Thomann very good and the little thing they did with the funny sticker made the whole sale complete well done oh British customs need to catch up took 6 days but worth the wait

A little work and it's a jewel!
The Good: Received them 5 days after ordering in good shape. Beautiful top and neck. The intonation was almost spot on. The Bad: The nut was cut way too high.. Had to take it to my luthier and he fixed that, adjusted the saddles, and slightly re-intonate ($60). I conditioned the fretboard (which does have some scrape marks on it, but is level) It now plays like a $1K guitar, w/ amazing action and feeling.. The pickups lack detail and low end. Replaced the selector switch (the stock one was flimsy/noisy) with a Switchcraft and put in a set of Tonerider Classic Alnico II Classic pickups and it ROCKS! So the 'mods/fixes' cost $175 making it a less than $500 guitar. It now sounds like a $2000+ guitar and plays so nice. It's crazy for the price. It rivals my PRS Santana III, but with a faster and thinner neck.

Everyone should own one.
So I have owned this guitar to a number of months now and here is my summary.
I love it! It plays wonderfully!
The fretboard feels good.
The neck has kept its shape.
It stays in tune.
Here is what makes it NOT 5 stars: It is too heavy, not so bad you cant play it but its got weight. I don't love that the white binding turned more cream but its completely fine. The fret ends are clean but not perfect. All and all the best thing in my opinion is that this guitar is amazing!
It is not perfect. It shouldn't be expected to be perfect. But its very, VERY, close!

Moderate weight comparable to a PRS-24 at ~8 pounds. Minor paint bleed/fuzziness on transitions like the faux binding but overall pleased. No humming 😁 this took the place of my strat as my daily driver for it's versatility. Tuners are great. Flame top isn't AAA but it's still quite beautiful. The comparable guitars in the price range are basswood 😅 I don't use the coil split often because it cuts the volume and my sound guy hates me for it

Harley Benton CST-24T Ocean Flame
Was really excited buying this guitar basically off the back of YouTube reviews. The colour of the guitar I absolutely love and it feels like a quality instrument. Issues I had were the grub screw that hold the trem bar in was broken and the knob end from the trem bar was missing (as per photos on website. The guitar arrived in perfect order luckily although I was very worried as when the box arrived it was considerably bashed about with a large hole in one side. I informed Thomman of these issues and sent them several photographs of box to perhaps help someone else not get a damaged guitar. They also sent me a new grub screw. Just a small note but this was entirely my fault after doing my own set up I inadvertently overtightened the bridge screws and it took me ages to work out why my guitar tuner said the guitar was in tune but it sounded awfully out of tune. When I eventually rectified my mistake all was good again. Roswell pickups were also a pleasant surprise. In hindsight I would have bought same guitar with hard tail. But this is still my go to guitar most days. Keep up the good work Thomman these guitars are great value and decent quality, I'm retired and can't justify spending thousands of ££££ on guitars and quite frankly I wouldn't anyway now as affordable guitars like these are so good. Iron out the minor QC problems and you are world beaters!! Delivery from Germany to UK is spot on often quicker than UK to UK stuff. When looking to buy stuff now I always check Thomman website first free delivery on orders over £100 is also a big incentive to buy.

Good guitar for a low price
I have no comments for this price. Unlike some people who don't like this
Roswell pickups, I would say from my experience that they are reasonably good, at least in combination with this guitar they work great.

Surprisingly good for the price!
Got this based on the videos online. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Replaced the pickups, which were fairly easy to do, been playing it ever since. Sounds great, looks beautiful, couldn't ask for much more!

Unbelievably versatile
I was choosing between Fusion and CST-24, and picked this beauty, since i've been dreaming for PRS for a long time. I guess this one isn't THAT far from PRS. Not flawless though, but the best for the price.

Love the look of this guitar and the SC-550 that I bought. The body on the CST-24T has a couple of spots under the finish where the wood wasn’t smooth and the frets need to be polished on both guitars. Other than that I love these two instruments.
