Harley Benton ST-62 VW Vintage Series

For 100ish Euros you get strat that is
- beautiful
- sounds like strat
- lightweight

BUT:

Out from the box it's set up at medium height, so i've turned the truss rod 1/4 of a turn tighter, and set the bridge 1 whole turn lower. Nut seems cut a bit too high, fret edges are great, frets need leveling to get to reall low action, you have to invest a bit of either time or give it to lutihier/guitar repari to set it up, polish/level the frets.

ONE BIG CON:
i think i recived a lemon here. action is set low, but it's still buzzing like crazy. it was set up by a pro luthier but he could not fix it. even on medium action it's still buzzing and is really uncomfortable to play. i will be returing the product to thomann, hope they fix/refund/or send me another one

It stays in tune, tuners are really nice, they don't jump, bridge is good if you don't use tremolo arm and that's it. you need a strat, get this one, set it up, put a decent pair of strings and you're set !
