Harley Benton Fusion-T EMG HT Roasted SBK

Edit: After using this guitar for quite awhile, I noticed horrible feedback constantly, I had to mute the strings constantly. I basically stopped playing this until I saw Spectre Media mention his Matt black guitar wasn't grounded. Surely this would be the same with mine, not on a guitar almost costing 500 euro? But no, that's exactly what the issue was. How do they let that pass through QC?

This guitar comes with the bells and whistles of a guitar expected to pay twice this price. The sound quality is great and the whole style and finish is amazing. The cons of this guitar are the fretboard had gouges in it from the fret work and the guitar needed a setup on arrival, which is to be expected. After the setup it plays like butter and the neck is a pleasure to play on.

All in all, for the price of this guitar you're getting way more than you'd expect. Just with a few minor things that can be overlooked.

I purchased this guitar after doing a ton of homework. I read reviews, watched videos on YouTube, searched on Reddit prior to making the investment.

Shipping was fast and the package was in tact. This guitar is absolutely stunning. Fret job was great. Neck feels comfortable.

After a week of playing the guitar the toggle switch stopped working. Had that replaced. Then, my neck pickup started buzzing. Had to have that replaced, and now, I’ll have to replace the input jack.

I would’ve returned or exchanged this guitar if it weren’t for shipping costs. I love this guitar but the electronic components have been a nightmare. Had I known it would need so many parts replaced, I would’ve been better off purchasing a more expensive guitar elsewhere. Buyer beware.

I've been looking for a tele with humbuckers for a while and was very excited to see this guitar on the Thomann site. The specs look awesome and it is a great looking guitar. Now the issues: 1. the nut is cut too low on the neck so the scale measures 25 3/8" instead of 25 1/2". My tech was able to adjust the bridge to get close but double stops above the 15th fret start to go out of tune. Also the nut sticks out about 1.5mm on the top of the neck so it had to be smoothed. Last but not least the guitar suffers from serious neck dive; much worse than my Explorer. It isn't a problem when sitting but when standing the neck drops as soon as you let go of it. Again, for the money, not a bad guitar but clearly has a few faults.
