Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-41SE WN

The best part of this guitar is probably the pickup and preamp. However, how mine passed quality inspection at the factory is genuinely beyond me. The neck is attached to the body at such a bad angle that it would be better suited as a hunting bow than a guitar and the best way to eliminate that isn't to lower the bridge and saddle but to actually rip off the neck and reattatch it properly; a difficult task when attached via a dovetail joint. Considering this, the sound is actually okay but the resulting hand cramps just aren't. It's a shame because it's actually built from half decent materials too, just not built well. If you bought the cheapest guitar on Amazon it's construction would be more similar to that than an actual guitar and you'd save about £250. To add insult to injury, I'm not as keen on the neck profile as I thought I would be but this hasn't affected my rating as it's highly subjective.
