Single Cut with The Balls

Sharps 28.05.2021

Guitar composed very carefully and neatly, colours are looking tasty and I got it in one piece despite of two-weak shipping in my country. Action is really low, gear is settled well, and a REALLY minor problem are machine heads. They seemed to me a bit loose, but again - that's the only thing after two weeks of use.
Now the sweetest part of the instrument: wood and pickups selected perfectly well. I mean even unplugged guitar sounds pretty loud and once it turned on you get a really evil and deep distorted sound.
Really, for its price the instrument more than worth it. Especially for hard-rock and metal music

The best Harley Benton for metal

SamovarCustom 21.02.2022

I received it today, there was an hour for inspection and testing, everything looks excellent, beautifully executed finish, magic tuners, a comfortable neck (but slightly less convenient than on my SC-550) When connecting the jack to the socket, difficulties arose, he enters there with great difficulty. I will fix this malfunction, of course, but it was somehow unexpected for such a wonderfully made guitar. Therefore, I put only 4 points out of 5 for the quality. I would put 6 for the sound, but it doesn't get more than 5.

Flawless!

Lev Ivanov 07.04.2022

The guitar came in flawless.
After tuning the strings, intonation was spot on; action was low enough for my liking with no fret buzz anywhere; all the electronics work; neck is straight and no cosmetic imperfections anywhere.

Plays beautifully and I couldn't be more satisfied.10/10. I highly recommend this model.

scottasaigon 09.10.2024

OK, so it's all subjective, I know. But out of the box, this plays really well. It's one of Harley Benton's top end models and plays like a guitar twice the price or more. My order arrived damaged in the delivery process - hassle with UPS to detail that and arrange for collection - but my new replacement is a joy. The set up is surprisingly fine - neck aligned properly, even the harmonics are spot on. Neck angle seems fine, the nut is well fitted. I will certainly change the strings relatively soon, and give the fretboard an oil - it does seem a little dry - but other than that, it's a thing of beauty! Ran it through some pedals and liked what I heard. Zero complaints.
