Dissopointment a bit
I have four Harley Bentons now. This was the baddest. Guitar wasn?t set up checked at all. B string was buzzing badly. I tryed to find the reason, and I located it to be in a bridge. Thomann service is great and they take it back. Also fretboard problem again. 1 st string 1 fret started to buzz . I have 4 Bentons. Only acoustic trave model have a stable fretboard and haven t repaired it. sc 550 and st 62 I have filed the frets even. I?ve been a guitar teacher for 25 years and I really like these cheap guitars and like if the fretboards could be do like that you dont need to repair right away. Fretboard should be quartersawn to be more stable. Some brands laminate it and that even more stable I quess. I have recommed bentons to my students, but also said that you might to need to get it to repair soon. I wish I dont have to say that some day. St 62 and sc 550 are great guitars for the price. I?ve changed pickups and now can play them anywhere. CST-24 is a rock device with ceramic pickups. I tryed to get deeper tone, but it?s not meant for that I quess. Guitar looks beautiful thou and its?good to play. Bridge have seperate intonation adjustment only for 2 nd and 3 rd strings. I needed to start adjusting after opening the package and I prefer old fashion where every string have seperate screw for adjusting.
I hope Thomann can resolve this fretboard issue somehow. Laminate quartersaw 3 or 4 layers? Good thing is that now I can file my own guitars. With cheap guitars it?s now so scary to learn these things. That?s also a good reason to buy a Benton. You can customize it and make great

Great for the value
Guitar has decent wilkonsons pickups and I think other hardware is from wilksons too. Plays nice and intonation seems to be good. Coil split was a nice add on the push pull knob. I didn't even notice that when I bought mine but it's a nice touch.
For the price guitar has excellent features and sound and personally I really like the looks. Some imperfections are still pretty easy to find around the guitar on closer inspection. Nothing major but for example one fret was installed bit poorly so they have used filler on factory. Doesnt affect playing but can still be seen if looked at closely.
Overall solid guitar and great value for money
