Die Stärke ist der Look! Der Rest naja
PE Toulouse 24.05.2022
Das teil sieht wirklich klasse aus und ist auch recht gut verarbeitet. Ich habe als erstes das griffbrett geölt und neue 10-46 saiten aufgezogen, da ich das gerät wie eine normale gitarre spielen möchte. In den hohen lagen liegen die saiten zu hoch, und man kann an der brücke die höhe nur dadurch verstellen, dass man das holzbrettchen, über das die saiten laufen, niedriger macht. Die hohe e-saite war zu dicht am griffbrettrand, besonders in den höhen. Dann habe ich festgestellt, dass man das brettchen, das die brücke darstellt, ganz einfach lateral verschieben kann, wenn man die saiten lose dreht - jetzt sitzen die saiten lateral gesehen korrekt. Der sound.... durch die zu hoch liegenden saiten sind diese auch zu weit weg vom mini humbucker. Der sound des mini-humbuckers reisst wirklich nichts vom hocker (sehr dumpf und unprickelnd). Der piezo dagegen ist zu scharf und bringt auch nicht besonders den resonator sound rüber. Beide pickups zusammen könnten ganz vielleicht bei einem recording einsatz finden, wer weiss. Der akustische sound klingt nach resonator, ich finde ihn aber zu leise. Am ehesten wird dieses gerät vielleicht bei einem musikvideo einsatz finden, zur musik vom playback...

Q
Very great guitar
Quonik 19.03.2025
I wished for this guitar 3 years and finally ordered it.
So sad that seems like in thomann shop somebody very badly checked guitar. Quality control should get higher. Guitar neck was in some kind of white powder on the edges and idk why but chineese manufacture decided to use a piece of wood with knots for the fingerboard. This looks like a neck is damaged but its not. Still for me it damages harley benton brand name because the product at first needs to be in working condition and second it should look perfect by eye.
I still dont regret for buing this guitar. This review is adresed more to harley benton so they could improve their manufacturing and quality control process.

Price reflected in quality

I don't regret this purchase. It's an extremely inexpensive option for a resonator, and it is fun to play.

The tuners are bad. Sometimes there are dead spots, sometimes very hard to turn.
The bridge doesn't seem to hold the strings very well as once in a while they kind of snap back into place, obviously throwing the tuning off and sending me back to the horrid tuners.
The resonator cone itself makes a buzz when played. This may be an easy fix, ie loose screws, but I haven't opened it up.
The input jack was loose when it arrive and had twisted the solder connection loose. Easy fix but poor quality control.

Other than that it's great... pickups sound decent.
I actually do enjoy playing it though and for the price I'm pretty happy.

A good guitar to start from....

Decent quality but what more can you expect for the price. A good guitar for the one who wants to learn playing slide on a resonator guitar as well as it is cool looking on the wall. I bought mine in the Thomann shop and got the best personal service as usual when you visit their headquarters and shop in Germany.
