I was intrigued by what I had heard about Harley Benton, so I placed an order to see if the hype was real.
Boy, was it real!
Out of the box, my guitar's finish was perfect, no flaws. It was almost in tune (not bad since it traveled ~ 7,500 km), the intonation was perfect, and the fret finishing was outstanding. The one minor issue was that the frets could use a polish. For a $360US guitar, that is not a dig.
Features, fit, finish, are all well above its price point. I did change to Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's, and polish the frets, and now, this is the guitar I pick up first to play.
I can't imagine needing to make any other changes, it is a guitar that punches far above its weight, the value for the money is amazing.
If you are on the edge, just take the plunge. This thing is amazing.
