Goed
Andries009 10.02.2021
goed voor de prijs, gebruik hem om af en toe te spelen. Afwerking was bijna perfect, alleen de verf had nog iets beter gekund. Geluid is precies zoals verwacht en zeer goed voor de prijs.

Geweldige Gitaar!
Jelsky 07.04.2020
Deze gitaar is nu bijna 2 jaar in mijn bezit, sinds dien heb ik nog geen min punten gevonden of onderhoudspunten. Zelf heb ik wel lockingtuners erop gezet om de tuningstabiliteit te verbeteren. Kortom een PRS copy voor dit geld

Beautiful with minor imperfections / Piękna z drobnymi niedoskonałościami
Mariuszo 02.12.2021
I've watched 3 guitars so I have a benchmark. The violin maker who checked the guitar, when he hear how much it cost, declared that he would buy the same one.

Any reservations can be made to the small details of the guitar neck. The frets of the guitar were stained with glue, the fingerboard was scratched unevenly in places, in one of the guitars the wood of the fingerboard was of worse quality, it had more small gaps. I was worried that the flames pattern would not be too pronounced as I saw a few guitars on Youtube and they were almost smooth. But all three examples I compared had a beautiful, deep pattern.

The sound is satisfactory, of course the disconnected coils do not sound like the Stratocaster singles, but the humbuckers sound almost identical to the PRS Custom SE 24/08. Some people think that even in PRS made in Indonesia you have to change pickups to made in USA and then this guitar becomes full value. I am going to replace the pickups with the CST-24T, so it will eventually be cheaper, and the final visual and sound effect will be at a high level.

The only thing I'm worried about is that over time, the mechanical components on the Harley Benton may wear out faster, the neck may warp, etc.

Added on 08-08-2023:
I gave it to adjust the neck, because it was getting harder and harder. When tightening the screw, the fingerboard at the headstock began to bulge. It looks like the rod is too shallow. I can play, but I won't turn up the neck any more. Good thing for me it's just a backup guitar that I've never used on stage :-)

----- PO POLSKU -----
Oglądałem 3 gitary, więc mam punkt odniesienia. Lutnik, który sprawdzał gitarę, gdy dowiedział się ile kosztowała, zadeklarował, że kupi sobie taką samą.

Ewentualne zastrzeżenia można mieć do drobnych szczegółów wykończenia gryfu gitary. Progi gitary były zabrudzone klejem, podstrunnica miejscami nierówno przytarta, w jednej z gitar drewno podstrunnicy było gorszej jakości, miało więcej drobnych szparek. Obawiałem się, że wzór flames nie bedzie zbyt wyraźny, bo na Youtube widziałem kilka gitar i były niemal gładkie. Ale wszystkie trzy egzemplarze, które porównywałem, miały piękny, głęboki wzór.

Dźwięk jest zadowalający, oczywiście rozłączone cewki nie grają tak jak singe Stratocastera, ale humbuckery brzmią niemal identycznie jak PRS Custom SE 24/08. Niektórzy uważają, że nawet w PRS made in Indonesia trzeba zmienić pickupy na made in USA i wtedy ta gitara staje się pełnowartościowa. Ja zamierzam wymienic pickupy w CST-24T, ostatecznie bedzie więc taniej, a końcowy efekt wizualny i brzmieniowy na wysokim poziomie.

Jedyne czego się obawiam, to tego, że wraz z upływem czasu osprzęt mechaniczny w Harley Benton może się szybciej zużyć, gryf zwichrować itp. Ale dzisiaj jestem bardzo zadowolony z zakupu.

Dodane 08-08-2023:
Oddałem ją do regulacji gryfu, gdyż stawała się co raz twardsza. Przy dokręcaniu śruby podstrunnica przy główce zaczęła się wybrzuszać. Wygląda na to, że pręt znajduje się zbyt płytko. Grać się da, ale dalej już gryfu nie podkręcę. Dobrze, że dla mnie to tylko gitara zapasowa, której nigdy nie użyłem na scenie :-)

2nd Harley Benton Guitar (best one yet)!
Ed Bray 21.04.2018
My main guitar when gigging is a £5000 20th Anniversary PRS but when I wanted a backup guitar of the same scale length I thought I was going to get a PRS SE as it seemed to be the cheapest option, bearing in mind it was just going to sit on the stage in case I broke a string on the PRS.

After receiving my BigTone Vintage Guitar which I was very pleased with I decided to have a look at the Harley Benton PRS style selection
before I placed an order.

After doing a bit of research and watching of many youtube videos I thought I would take a punt and decided to order the CST-24T Ocean Flame, after all, if it was really rubbish (as some of the reviews stated, although the majority of the review were in favour), I could always send it back.

The delivery was up to Thomann's usual speed and 2.5 days after placing the order I was opening the box to my view my new toy.

After opening the box I was taken aback by the beauty of the guitar, I looked for the few blemishes (that were often mentioned in the reviews) in the finish, but could not find any, next, The neck felt really nice although the fretboard seemed a bit flatter than any other guitar I own. I put the tremolo bar into the socket (expecting it to be very loose and fall out, as per the reviews) and it was set up no differently from my PRS, loose enough to spin under tension but did not move on its own. The only visible issues I could find on the guitar were that the roseacre fretboard seemed very dry and the frets looked like they had a haze from polish on them. The frets ends were very smooth and seemed to be level.

Next I looked at the action which although okayish was higher than I prefer to have, so I wanted to test the electronics before making any physical adjustments to the guitar so that if it didn't work correctly I was still able to send it back. Fortunately all worked well. The bridge is a Wilkinson Tremolo and very well made, The tuners all worked well, and although I would have preferred locking tuners on a guitar with a Tremolo these seemed to do the job okay (although I will replace these later for locking types).

Firstly, I removed all the strings and set about oiling the fretboard with Lemon Oil, it took three full applications before the fretboard seemed sated and I was able to wipe off the excess. I then checked the frets with a straight edge and all seemed well. Next I installed a fresh set of Fender Stainless Steel Flatwound strings 9-42 and adjusted the action to suit my normal playing style. After letting the guitar settle down for a day I started playing it for real.

So to playing it, the guitar looks, plays and sounds fantastic. Although the pickups have a different sound to those on my PRS, it is not a bad sound, just different.

In conclusion, how does it stand up to my PRS, to be honest how could a £192 guitar stand up against a £5000 guitar? Well to be frank, it doesn't, but then is the £5000 guitar 25x better than the £192 guitar? Absolutely not, a set of new locking tuners, a change of electronics (pickups, pots, switch and output socket cost circa < £300) and the difference becomes very, very much closer.

28/04/18 I've just realised that my Ocean Flame CST-24T was made in Vietnam as opposed to China.

For the money, the one I have is incredible value, and I see another new CST-24T in Emerald Green Flame (I don't have a green guitar) on the horizon.
