Howdy!
I ordered one of these cases not for the Harley Benton 35, but for the Harley Benton 35Plus. They both came in at the same time? It would be nice if the guitar was shipped in the case, which it wasn?t. Everything arrived to the US fine?no problems at all, but I can?t help but wonder why they don?t place the guitar in the case before shipping. Would the guitar be safer? I tend to think so?but, I may be wrong. Still, both the guitar and the case where shipped together to the US, in one big box, and they arrived safe and sound.
As for the case itself? It works. I wonder, is there is a size or shape difference between the Harley Benton 35 and the Harley Benton 35Plus? I ask because the guitar didn?t fit well into the case. It fit, but there has to be some serious manipulation inside of the case to make it work. I?ve wondered if the case was shaped to fit the Harley Benton 35?or one of the older 35?s. Thomann changed it?s shape in the last year or two? They were more of the Gibson semi-hallow shape, but lean a bit more towards the Ibanez shape?which is fine. I love the Harley Benton 35?s and 35 Plus guitars. But?if the case was built to fit an older 35 model, or if the regular 35 shape model has some slight differences between it and the Plus, it may be good to update the case design.
Still, the case can work if you are willing to let the guitar fight its way to fitting inside the case. Haha.
As for everything else? It?s fine. It?s definitely not the most amazing case in the world, but for the money, it?s worth picking up and working with. I?m one of those guys who would rather spend less money, work a little with what I have, and then be able to invest more money into something else? Than spend a fortune for a fine piece of protective gear?that if it does its job, will get beat up and scratched up over time protecting your guitar.
Save some money. Don?t spend a fortune buying gear with a brand name on it? This will work perfectly, and it will enable you to put more money towards something else. The case works. It?s rocks. And it will rock protecting your gear. Go for it!
