The Harley Benton 450 classic is almost that ,a fine all over black gloss finish ,neat attractive binding on the upper body and neck ,hardware is fine ,the tuning machines look good and function as well as the price of the guitar ,sounds nice clean or overdriven and the pickup selector isn`t sloppy ,the action was high when i received the guitar ,i adjusted the neck with slight relief and lowered the action ,still buzzing up and down the fingerboard ,i will raise the action more to see if that helps ,other than that an instrument that looks and sounds more than expected!.
