The best guitar I own
nr95 10.06.2024
I own a fair amount of guitars (20) and have tried many more through friends. For me, this beats them all. The overall features that it has are amazing, but what stands out for me is the neck and the bridge. This is probably the most comfortable neck I've ever played between the rounded fingerboard edges, smooth ball end frets, and neck shape + compound radius board. The bridge is so solid and such a great design with nothing poking out against my hand and stays in tune. My only "tweak" that I've made to it is that I lowered the humbucker a bit and raise the individual pole pieces for a brighter, less mid focused sound and now it's the perfect guitar in my view. Now the humbucker in the bridge has a lot more high end sparkle and less midrange "honk" to it. The Seafoam Green color is also outstanding with not a single finish flaw in sight. This is my 6th Harley Benton and it's the best one yet. So insanely good for this price! I would buy one in each color if not for my wife's complaints about my growing collection :D

A great Strat-style with outstanding hardware and perfect playability
gander2112 01.12.2024
I have long wanted a traditional Strat styled guitar, and this one, in Seafoam Green caught my eye. It has a stunning flamed maple neck, and a body that is a delight to play. The Tesla pickups sound amazing, and apart from tuning it up, I needed to do nothing to get it ready to play.
I fired up the Helix, dialed in a "surf" sound, and I lost myself playing THe Ventures tunes.
Dialed up a meaty tone (based on the Revv Generator Purple amp) and wow, it really laid down some heavy vibes.
The fretwork is impeccable, the tremolo is super stable, and for once, I think I will keep it strung with 10's, instead of switching to custom lights (9's on the top, 10's on the bottom).
I cannot recommend this guitar enough. Every time I pull it off the wall, I get a big grin on my face.

Für den Preis unschlagbar!
Herr B 17.06.2024
Das Feature-Set und die Verarbeitung ist unschlagbar. Diese Gitarre kann diesbezüglich mit 900 - 2000 € mithalten. Von Fender gibt es momentan eine LTD Start mit Roasted Maple Neck und Paofero Griffbret für 900 €. Wenn man statt dessen diese Gitarre kauft und dazu noch das Fender Pre-Wirded Pickguard mit den Pure 59 's (199 €) ist man bei 600 und hat perfekt verarbeitet stainless steel frets und ein Trem das wirklich stimmstabil funktioniert. Der Sattel ist bei meiner perfekt gekerbt gewesen und wohl aus einem Tusq-ähnlichen Material.

Die einzigen zwei Kritikpunkte: Die Tuner sind zu hoch, weshalb man 2 seiten niederhalter benötigt . Wären die Löcher für die Saitenaufnahme gleich unten über den Hülsen könnte man sich mindestens einen sparen.
Hier wären gestaggerte Tuner al a Sperzel oder Kluson Vintage Lockings. sinnvoll. Echt schade da die Tuner an sich gut aussehen und super funktionieren. Die Saitennierderhalter hab ich gegen Graphtech's ausgetauscht, jetzt funktioniert es auch reibungslos.

Leider ist der Volumenregler nicht an der für Strats üblichen stelle sunder an der für moderen (EMG-Guards oder wie Landau es an seiner Coma hat. Das werde ich ändern.

Insgesamt gibt es aber bei dieser Gitarre nichts auszusetzen. Die Pickups klingen gut und für Top 40 absolut ideal, da sie sehr ausgewogen zusammen klingen und mit dem Tonregler gut in gewünschte Sound gefilde gereglet werden können. Vom Output würde ich sie als Low bis Medium einordnen. Für Pop/Rock/Soul und Fusion perfekt. Absolute Blues/Rocker al a SRV/Hendrix werde hier woll etwas an Charakter vermissen, was sich aber durch einen Pickup-Tausch ändern lässt.

Für mich erste Budget Gitarren die "out of the Box" live funktionieren würde (Nach Anpassung auf meine Lieblingseinstellung hinsichtlich Hals und Saitenlage) .

Klare Kaufempfehlung!

HB Modern Plus Review
Erra enjoyer 10.06.2024
The neck is an absolute dream, the specs you get for the price are absolutely insane.

Unfortunately the 5th Position pickup has no Output anymore after just 4 days and the finish on the neckpocket started to crack.

The Babicz bridge is so bulky while staying in tune very nicely it just completely changes your hand position to a point where it gets uncomfortable to play and palm mutes are super weird.

I decided against a repair on the pickup and get a refund because of the bridge aswell. Its unfortunate because the neck and rounded off frets are so well made and polished so nicely its on par with an Ibanez AZ Prestige.

I wish they also did as good of a job on the electronics as on the neck.
