Harley Benton ST-62MN VW Vintage Series

Sou um amador que adora tocar guitarra. Geralmente toco em causa com o auxilio de looping station, trio plus, ou caixa de ritmos. Não tinha nenhuma guitarra com pick ups single coil e achei que estava na hora de ter uma tipo strat, por um preço baixo.
Excelente aspeto, pick ups com som muito agradável, escala e trastos bem acabados. Excelente para o preço. Só dois pontos a apontar: desalinhamento de alguns polos dos pickups com as respetivas cordas, situação que tenho vis em guitarras de preço 10 vezes superiores, e impossibilidade de enroscar a whammy bar, que me fez devolver o produto. Recomendo à thomann que os procedimentos de controlo de qualidade incluam a verificação da whammy bar.

I'm satisfied with the sound of the guitar. Although it is a cheap starter pack it sounds decent enough.

I'm very unsatisfied with the age of the guitar... It is supposed to be a new guitar but it arrived with rusty strings (which i've now changed) and age stained frets (which i've now polished). Some of the fret ends were also sharp (which i've now filed down). The tuners are crappy and very imprecise and they also show some corrosion. The fretboard shows some dents and scuffs in the finish along the edges.

I didn't expect much from this guitar and that's the only reason i'm not going trough the trouble of returning it.

I did expect more from Thomman tough.

Just got it today and overall this guitar is good.
I am happy with the finish, the color looks beautiful and the "caramel" taint on the wood is very pleasing to the eye.
I love the vintage tuners, they respond well and are tight and firm.
I tuned it up and I was ready to play, pickups sound good and you can get many "straty" tones without much effort.
Slight buzz on some strings when not plugged, no big deal. I will put my favorite strings on it anyway and check what is doing it.
Both the knobs and the pickup selector feel kind of loose and I guess one would have to change those if the guitar was meant for gigging or long rehearsals.
Also the tremolo system is pretty basic but I wasn't expecting anything different and I am not planning on using it much.
With everything said I still feel this guitar is worth every penny, it feels like a real guitar and I was lucky to get a lightweight one that is comfortable and a joy to have and play.
Well done Harley Benton
