An Offset for Lefties
Southpaw 17.07.2019
This was my first Harley Benton, and I truly wasn't sure what to expect. However, when the guitar showed up (about 2 weeks from purchase to arrival--I'm in the States), I was pleasantly surprised by the guitars quality, sound, and looks. There were a few minor faults here and there--some sharp fret ends, dry fingerboard (to be expected), and the frets needed a little polish, but for the price these a hardly dealbreakers.

After a quick setup, the guitar is a joy to play. The P90s growl and live in that space between single coil and humbucker. The neck feels great, fast and chunky in your hands. It feels like a guitar for twice its price.

Honestly, this guitar covers a lot of bases--great first time instrument, perfect mod platform, and just a solid player with a little setup work. It's not just great "for the price." It's a legitimately good instrument.

A keeper
Alex the lefty 23.08.2020
Having read many reviews on this site and on youtube, i did have high expectations but never forgetting the ultra low price of this guitar .
It arrived very Well packaged and playable from the start ,
There are no flaws in the finish or problems with the manufacturing
Intonation spot on ,action set just right .
The neck is nit overly thick as some have suggested , but it not a slim neck either
Roswell jazz master pickups are great ( these are not P90's)
It need d the frets polishing and the fret board was very dry .

Overall a absolute joy . Thank you Thomann and especially for catering for us lefties .

An superb offset rock guitar
Anonymous 27.06.2016
I ordered this a few months ago and had to wait until it arrived in stock but I must say it was well worth the wait.

The good:-
- A really super neck. Level polished frets, nice modern C shape - feels hefty enough for me.
- Well cut nut
- 3 piece body - decent attempt to match wood, nice sunburst if you like that type of finish.
- Amazing sounding P90s from Wilkinson. All the snarl and sweetness one would expect. I think they are stacked P90s as there is minimal hum but they sure sound good.
- Nice light guitar 3.23kg (7.12 lbs)

A few things that could be better
- Pickguard. To my eyes it is not as ugly as some have siad but it is clearly on the cheap side. Even shows some signs of slight delamination.
- The Tailpiece and Bridge are quite high for my liking. Strings touch the end of the bridge - hence necessitating raising the tailpiece. I'll be topwrapping this.
- Some neck dive. Nothing too drastic but it's there.

Overall a great guitar for the money. I find it's has a lovely tone for Blues and Jazz on the neck pickup as well as classic rock on the bridge. Very versatile.

Recommended for those who want something a little bit different.

Harley Benton JA-60LH SB Vintage Series
Frederick337 09.08.2018
Just got this guitar today, really happy with it. Set up very well, plays well too. No flaws that I can see everything appears to be in good order. I have'nt put it through all its paces yet but that will take a little more time. The finish is really good even when I put it beside my Fender Strat, they look like they were related. For the price of this guitar it is so much value it feels good to play. Very happy overall and I'll be buying a few more Harley Bentons in the future.
