Harley Benton HBV 990AMB 4/4 Electric Violin

Great electric violin for the price range. The onboard electronics are okay - you get what you pay for...so the basic Eq on the back of the violin is adequate. The 1/4" jack output is solid, in fact the whole build is great: the pegs, bridge, bow, fine tuners, all are great quality. I sometimes run the violin through a BOSS GT-6 guitar fx board. For a clean sound coming out of a basic amp, I run the violin through a BOSS GE-7 Equalizer pedal for extra filtering. I love having this electric violin on hand. Really great for gigs, and as I said for the price I would recommend this violin.

Better to save a little bit more to get something that doesn't destroy your intonation

Disclaimer: never played any other violin before.
Overall build quality and finish is better than expected, sound is ok enough.
