Customer reviews about Harley Benton S-620 TB Rock Series

My first HB

LT_player 20.11.2020

I bought the S-620 TB in blue and I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now. It looks awesome, the neck feels nice and the fretwork is great, I haven’t noticed any fret buzz. I’ve never had anything to do with a Floyd Rose before and this one seems a bit cheap, I had some problems screwing on the trem handle as the threads were not so smooth. It went on with some patience and back and forth with the nut. But given the price point for the guitar, that’s fine with me.
I am fairly new to the guitar, call it a COVID reinvention.....I played in my teens briefly and now I’m in my 50’s, so it’s for home use only. I think if you’re new to guitar and you want a nice piece of kit to play some of your favourite rock and metal tunes this is a great and economical way to go.

cool

Chief Joseph 03.04.2020

Heard a noise- One Tremolo spring was disconnected, had to connect, reset and tune. Well traveling from Germany to America, I can understand. After set up, plays, sounds and looks great. Can't beat it for the $.

Harley Benton S-620 TB Rock Series Guitar

Melvyn_H 16.05.2020

Great looking guitar, plays really well and set up was good straight out of the box. The pickups sound good too. The only real issue is the Floyd-Rose bridge which is cheap and unstable which is a BIG disappointment. Personally I just don't see the point of putting a cheap FR bridge on any guitar and would have been happier if this guitar had a hard tail bridge. My advice, if you're specifically looking for a FR equipped guitar then don't buy this and look for another option.

Pros
Looks great
Plays great
Sounds great
Price

Cons
Floyd-Rose bridge is of poor quality

Needed a little work

Strat Man 09.10.2022

This is the 3rd Harley Benton guitar I've purchased no complaints on the SC-Custom II or the ST-62MN VW Vintage Series but this S-620 TB needed a little work nothing major.
Cosmetics- this guitar was flawless on the overall finish.
Frets are nice and smooth no burrs on edges.
Tuners seem nice and tight.
Pickups sound ok I may go with some EMG 81/85 combo later on.
CONS- out of the box this had no setup done to it in any way the Floyd bridge was setting an angle not even close to being flush with the body (simple fix)
Strings were around 1/4" (6.35 Millimeters) above the neck. After dropping the Floyd down and leveling it with the body I noticed the neck was slightly tilted (not a truss rod adjustment) I did some calculating and it needed a .025" (0.635 Millimeters) shim in the back of neck cavity (white comic book card board was perfect).
Put neck back on, a new set of Ernie Ball Extra slinkys and fine tuned the Floyd and this thing plays excellent!!!
I would still buy another one of this same series guitar thinking the red version!

Great guitar with good features, it suprissed me

BM93 25.12.2021

Was not expecting this quality and features on a guitar of this price, it comes with a floyd rose (altough i blocked it for changing tunnings on the fly)

It's my 5th guitar, purchased it because i'm not at home almost all year long, so bought this for travelling and not crying if it breaks, I'm pleasently suprised by it.

Great base for a custom build

Raph123g 09.05.2023

I’ve had this for a couple years now surprisingly it’s amazing to play and the floyd is surprisingly stable especially considering it’s a licensed tremolo, the pickups are not the greatest but with a simple swap, (I swapped to Seymour Duncan invaders personally) this guitar will shine

Great VFM.

dimitrisv 02.03.2021

For it's price, the guitar is awesome.
Build quality is really good. Tuning stability is great with proper setup.
The fretboard is comfortable with no sharp edges.
I'm using the guitar for home practice and I find it very inspiring instrument.

The one thing that really bothers me is the tremolo bar which comes loose very frequently.

However, considering the price, the guitar is perfect.

Not bad

Krisic 24.12.2020

Pickup selector is a bit loose, the strings however stay in tune pretty nicely. I feel that the rear humbucker could give a bigger bunch but it's not bad for a budget guitar! Definitely worth it for the looks and the clean feel of the guitar.
