Harley Benton SC-450PlusLH LD Vintage Series

Obvio que não se pode esperar a qualidade de uma Gibson verdadeira, mas esta guitarra vale todos os cêntimos. Som bastante bom, e a nível de design espetacular. O acabamento podia ser um pouco melhor mas pelo preço não se pode pedir mais. Tenho tocado bastante com esta guitarra e ainda nunca me deixou mal. Se procuram uma guitarra low-cost mas sem comprometer qualidade de som ou "playability" esta é definitivamente a melhor para o segmento de preço.

Firstly, I was amazed to find that Harley Benton guitars actually make left-handed models in a range of stunning finishes - as a lefty, I'm used to 'choosing' either black, white or if I'm lucky red. I could quite happily buy one of these in each of the finishes on offer, but I totally fell in love with the Lemon Drop and I'm so pleased I did - it looks awesome in all lights!

Out of the box, my guitar was set-up perfectly - no fret buzz, low action, nice smooth fretboard edges and no cosmetic damage. I'm really impressed, as I had seen some negative reviews about this on youtube etc. This is the first time I've purchased a 'budget' guitar, so I really didn't know what to expect - I own 2 x Fenders and 1 x Gibson.

As soon as I plugged this guitar in I was gobsmacked - it is extremely comfortable to play and it sounds great. I'm really impressed with the pick ups, but I don't rate the coil splitting at all, it makes the sound way to thin to my ear. But that is the only negative thing I can find to say!

So, this is now my go to guitar - the neck is absolutely perfect and is really helping me improve my playing. I also prefer the sound of the pick ups to those in my Gibson (that's probably down to my style of playing). I am a very happy customer and will be back for more guitars in the future!
