Harley Benton ST-59HM Fiesta Red

The reason I bought the ST59HM was of the good reviews. but the one that I got was not up to speck. The quality of the guitar is very poor in my opinion for the following reasons, Not a one piece flamed maple neck it was a two piece plane maple and not made very well, frets not fitted very well, the nut was a cheap plastic thing cut to low had fret ratel, the neck had a back bow in it, the tuners would not stay in tune. the string trees were cheap things, the neck pocket was poorly fitted, Bridge Pickup was not working. the intonation was way out, Playability was none. so I set to work putting It right. Changed the tuners for good ones, changed the string trees for rollers changed the nut for bone, repaired the frets, repaired the bridge pickup, finished the off, fitted all back together put new strings on, then give it a setup, now its all working. I think that I got one of them Friday afternoon ones. But what do you expect for £162.00 (up date) on stripping the guitar down and scrapping some paint out of the pickup pocket the body wood is not Alder as stated Its Paulownia or Basswood.
