Harley Benton Fusion-T HH HT LH EB BK

Almost 300 euros and has all the features I wished for, stainless steel frets that are almost (98% :D ) as good as the ones I had Thomann refret and Pleked on a Fender Player series Stratocaster!

I like the spilt pickup sound and also the humbucker.

It plays very good, I lowered the action to 1mm at 12 fret (it came at 1.9mm), intonation is spot on. The neck is straight and just a little bit chunkier than the Player series Strat.

One little minus is the pots they feel on the cheaper side, mine are also bit loose and require tightening of the pot nut.

This is the lightest guitar I have so far at 3.1kg or 6.83 pounds.
The finish is excellent, flawless.

Is it as good as the Fender Player series Stratocaster that I bought from Thomann with a STS refret job for 1043 Euros?
The answer is no, but it's close. And it's way better in all categories than the other Harley Benton CST-24T LH Ocean Flame I ordered in 2018.

Ordered this one a little while ago, and i could easily say that it is better than i expected.
The build quality is great, there are no issues that i could find. There was an issue with shipping and a little ding in the body that was the result, but the Thomann CC resolved that promptly, so kudos to them as well. And it gives my guitar a little bit character, which is awesome.

The neck is straight, no fret buzz and no issues with frets.

The body is beautiful and the black top/cherry back combo is ridiculous in person. Upper fret access is also great.

Humbuckers sound great with my Katana, plethora of sounds with the dual humbuckers and volume/tone knobs. The push/pull tone knob also provides some additional tones, but i don't use it very much as it is not my style.
The pots could be a little better, but that is a minor upgrade that i could make myself (and plan to do).

Overall, i am very happy with this purchase and already looking for my next Harley Benton guitar.

My Gibson and Epiphone have been back in the closet full time after I got this Fusion-T.

Play-ability is unbeatable, Fret wires are perfectly rounded, the fret board is smooth like butter. You can keep it that way by restringing every 1-2 months, Lemon-Oil the fret board, and apply string Lube every few days, to prevent rusted strings from eating into the fret-board and fret-wires, especially if there's a lot of bending in your playing style.

With the locking tuners, Tuning is shockingly stable, and rarely needs a re-tune between restrings.

Pickups sound good with Clean and Crunchy amps, and I think they're just okay with super-high gains, but they're no EMGs when it comes to heavier stuff.

Maybe the two pickups were slightly imbalanced on arrival, but that can easily be adjusted with the pickup height, and fine tuning each pole on each pickup. The setup was really good out of the box, but by making minor adjustments to pickup and poles (just by ear, you don't need need to take it to the guy!) , it sounds perfect.
I don't think I personally will ever consider replacing the pickups.

The one downside, as with almost every Left-hand guitar out there (including expensive Gibsons) is that the pots aren't "left-handed", which makes it not so useful for volume control as a musical effect.

HB does a great job, I will surely get more of their guitars in the future, and it is impossible for me to justify buying any other electric guitar brand from now on.

I wanted this guitar for over a year and I had it in my wish list but it was never in stock until now and I had to get it, even though I have 7 more guitars (2 more Harley Benton).
I really can't believe that this guitar, with such a great quality is in the market on this price! Locking tuners, stainless steel frets, ebony fretboard, coil split, wilkinson bridge and such a smooth finish! It also came with a good setup. I just turned the truss rod just a bit to make the action perfect. By the way, the truss rod adjustment is at the lower part of the fretbord (spoke wheel). Great sound by the pickups and the neck feels smooth, with a satin back finish!
