Harley Benton really outdid themselves
Will Smith 02.08.2024
They've really done it... the coulour, the feel, the sound... this guitar is everything that i expected and more.

If you can ignore the immense weight of the guitar, it really is a thing of beauty. To start with a little awkward to play, one realises very quickly how actually quite compfortable it is (while sitting).

Both necks are nice to play. I do have big hands though, so smaller hands might have more difficulty.

The pickups sound great, and i really mean it. The 12 string resonates beautifully.

The tuning so far is holding up really well. The Grover tuners are great in this aspect.

The case it comes with is also very nice... and the cool factor of opening it still hasn't worn of yet, and i doubt it ever will.

A Fine Instrument, Buy With Confidence!
650Thunderbird 28.07.2024
Despite one high fret on the 6 string at the 6th fret (which I was able to level myself), a great guitar. It is a heavy beast, but it must be remembered that it is nearly two whole guitars joined together. It resonates like a church bell, when unplugged. Thomann sent me the actual guitar they used for their photo shoot, so you can see the actual guitar on this website.

Excellent double neck
Swervinirvin 24.09.2024
Now that I've had it for a week I can write a review.
This guitar is above all my hopes of what it would be! Easy access to all the fretts, pickups sound great, I love where the switches are, they're easy to use and switching between necks is effortless. This is turning into my main guitar. Yeah, it's heavy and more of a standing guitar but it plays and sounds great! It was definitely worth what little I paid for it!
It is now my main instrument. The bulk and weight are so minor when regarding the versatility of this setup!

Ich bin mehr als überrascht
Vanderwald 09.08.2024
Ich hatte schon mehrere Gitarren von Harley Benton. Alle habe ich zurückgeschickt, da immer massive Qualitätsmängel in der Verarbeitung vorhanden waren.
Diese Gitarre ist wundervoll verarbeitet. Die Bünde sind poliert und super abgerichtet. Die Gitarre kam perfekt eingestellt bei mir an.
Lediglich das Griffbrett ist furztrocken. Aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau.
Das Teil ist ein richtiger Brocken und ist sehr Kopflastig. Also einen ganzen Gig würde ich dieses Monster nicht spielen wollen. Im Sitzen lässt sich das Monster allerdings gut unter Kontrolle bringen ;)
Der Sound ist wirklich sehr gut. Auch das hatte ich so nicht erwartet.
Was mir nicht so gut gefällt ist die Position des Halswahlschalters. Diesen hätte man auch, wie bei der Gibson, mittig setzten können. Sobald man den Halswahlschalter in der Mittelposition hat, geht massig Lautstärke verloren. Man sollte also immer direkt den Hals anwählen, dann kommt es auch zu keinen Einbußen.
Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung! Die HB sieht super aus, ist top verarbeitet und klingt super.
Ist allerdings nicht für jeden etwas und für Einsteiger überhaupt nichts.
