Harley Benton ST-Modern MN HSS FBB

I don't think it's possible to find a better guitar considering the price. Looks and finish are great and the neck feels amazing to play, especially if you like a smooth satin finish. The guitar came perfectly intonatated even if the action was a bit higher than i would like.

After playing it for a few months i could only find 2 flaws:
1) Frets were not polished well enough giving it a gritty feeling out of the box wich is never great (It' a very easy fix by polishing them but begginer players might be intimidated to work on an instrument)
2) I would describe the pickups and electronics as "barely ok". Considering it's a cheap guitar i wouldn't complain too much but an upgrade to those components is mandatory in the long run.

All things consider i would recomend this guitar to anyone especially beginners, it will not disappoint you!!

I purchased this guitar because it has some stand out features such as a roasted maple neck and fretboard, 12"-16" compound radius fretboard, locking tuners and graphite nut. The guitar plays very nicely out of the box and is staying in tune very well so far. The neck feels smooth to play and there are no major flaws with the frets. With the HSS pickup configuration and split coil I have got some great tones from clean, crunch, blues, rock and metal. The finish is gorgeous and the pickguard and binding really compliment the gloss top. When I asked my family (who are non-guitar players) how much they thought thought it was worth they both said £500+. This guitar is a joy to play and amazing value for money.
