Waiting was finally over.. It was here..

Nicely Packaged

Opening the box was event as i said well packaged. This was a thing of beauty. Looked and felt awesome. First thing first strings came not my gauge , no problem. The action was nice but i setup guitars for a living so a tiny little adjustable required on the Floyd Rose .. And we are good to go..

I have had the guitar for three weeks now and i honesty say this is one of the best guitars i have ever played .. Dare I Say ? The Best

Build and finish 100% Feels great in the hand and sounds incredible.. I have Fender and Gibsons among others this is Better in every way .

This Guitar is worth three times more in option, The £377 asking price

Hope this helps . Buy this this guitar its a total BANGER !!!

Best Regards

John ( Musician / Music Teacher )

I recommend it as affordable price
Moayad 15.06.2025
Just received the guitar today , my honest opinion for the guitar as following .
1.the finishing and quality of guitar was more than my expectations it came in very beautiful matt black finish no scratch just perfect
2-the guitar controls knobs and button made with good quality , there is no noise when shifting them or ground issues noise.
3-surprisingly the guitar came already tuned even after 3weeks overseas shipping only i did small tune
4-i know many will be afraid from floy rose bridge but hello i abused and the guitar kept the tune
5- the guitar neck is perfectly leveled no bend or high tension strings
6-my only comment is the strings is stiff and sharp i will change them soon and hopefully it will fix the problem

As a result its worth to buy in this affordable price i saw many branded guitars with twice the price and was really unplayable

Great guitar boring sound
CHVSELAR 21.07.2025
Pickups sound just okay, not exactly interesting for any genre. Guitar plays great but the balance is kind of weird. Floyd Rose isn't for me but that won't contribute to my review. Tuners r really good it stays in tune well as it should because it's a Floyd Rose guitar. I did change the straplocks and a hell ton of sawdust came out but the wood quality is always a problem with Harley Benton guitars. Also the springs are so extremely noisy but I fixed that with a kitchen sponge. Finish inside the guitar came off but the finishes on Harley Benton guitars are always very fragile. Selling it. Neck's the best I've ever played though
