Harley Benton R-457 BK Progressiv Series

I really like the R457 it plays great and seems to be exactly what I was looking for. This is my first 7 string guitar and my only disappointment and reason for 3 stars is the packaging and the quality of the bridge. It seemed worn like a B stock return. My guitar came to me with a bent strap button at the bottom of the guitar and it chipped the finish at that location as well. I will repair it myself and keep the guitar but not something I want to see with my next purchase. Thomann has not lost me yet.

The guitarbody is lightweight and pretty robbyst!
but the pickups and tuningscrews are subject for change, with hard playing the strings could easily get out of tune and the pick ups make a slightly muddy distortion sound.

All in all, a good newbie guitar that you could upgrade whilst expanding your skills.
