It ticks all the boxes.
Welsh Bloke 26.03.2025
I currently have 4 guitars and been playing for over 30 years, going through many guitars cheap and expensive before settling on what I have now, a Telecaster guy looking for a single cut. I'm a bit of a guitar snob, so was dubious about getting this.

The finish is actually prettier than I was expecting, it's not in your face yellow and more a levely honey yellow, the finish and binding on the body, neck and headstock is flawless, there are no issues with sharp fret edges they all feel fine. The Grover tuners are smooth and precise, after tuning it also came intonated requiring me to do no setting up, which is a nice thing.

The electronic switches and pots feel OK and the chrome hardware is nice.

So, I plugged into and Orange micro terror, no FX, just the amp, it sounds great, but I wanted some FX in there so I then went through my Boss GX 100, found myself playing for longer than I intended.

If I was going to criticise anything I think the pickups could do with tiny bit more clarity, that said;

It sounds great whatever I plug it into, the finish and quality is excellent and well worth the money. If you're looking for a single cut guitar this won't disappoint, I'm no longer a guitar snob.

and with steel frets!!!!!great instrument, sweet to play, hear and show off. Good bye my 200 lbs Gibson LP; at a fraction of the Gibson price, a more modern and sweeter to play and feel! Great job Thomann!

Great value for the money!

Nice, crisp and bright tone! No fret buzz, or sharp edges whatsoever. Managed to lower the action without any problem.
This is my first Harley Benton guitar and I love it!
If you need a budget SC, this guitar is the best choice!

i have no complains... but..
Dimitris Lentzakis 23.06.2026
I bought this guitar with some fear in mind because I had not bought a guitar online ever but to my surprise it turned out to be more than perfect, it did not need any set up and the strings that come with the guitar are okay, i bought the lemon flame colour. I have one "bad" thing to say. The colour displayed is not... quite.. right. It is a little darkerer in real life, and the waves are more visible on the body WHICH PERSONALLY I FOUND EXTREMLY GOODDD, it reminds me of one of gary moore guitars.
