An Incredible Instrument!

KiyohimeHQ 06.12.2024

I saw this guitar a while ago and last week I finally pulled the trigger and got it.
The craftsmanship on this is fantastic!
It has a thin neck, very similar to Ibanez and Schecter (I used to own a Schecter Banshee 8-A). Regardless of the reviews on YouTube, the pickups are pretty clear and defined, but them being passive also helps.
Only "downside" are the tuners, not the most responsive ones. But let's be real... for the price, anyone can afford new tuners.

Harley Benton R-458MN LH WH Review

Dagan B 27.07.2024

The ‘Harley Benton R-458MN LH WH‘ is a brilliant 8 string guitar given the price, it sounds good, plays well and visually looks good. For the price you can’t go wrong! Overall I’d give this guitar a 5 star rating.

Great value for money

Olivia Robinson 01.02.2025

By far the best budget option for a left-handed 8 string. Only issue is tuning stability but I found that replacing the strings with a heavier gauge has resolved most of the issues. Tuners could do with an upgrade but it gets the job done and is surprisingly well-made for the price. 4/5.

I can't believe how easy it plays!

@antifoniq 11.06.2025

This thing outplays most of my guitars in my inexpensive collection of Indonesian bolt-ons. I love the maple fretboard. I would pay twice as much for that feature alone. No fatigue on the fretboard. Easiest 8-string I've ever played!
