It's a great guitar, i was really impressed by it when i got it and plugged it into my amp but there's flaws! The only ones I've noticed are on the guitar paint, the binding it's not so perfect and also the neck upper dots are faded, don't look that good.. Also the golden hardware is not all the same gold color, the tail and bridge piece is more like a rose gold then the rest of the hardware, and it's clearly noticeable next to the golden pickups.
Other than that it's a solid heavy instrument, sounds and plays great. The pickups are really good sounding, i play mostly metal and rock and they deliver that for sure, plenty of girth and sustain. The neck feels smooth (like an ltd ec or viper) and the fret job is much better than my ibanez iron lable that cost way more than this guitar, there's no sharp edges at all! For the price can't beat it! I would recommend this guitar but i wish they would improve this minor issues in the future. I will def. buy a few more harley bentons in the future if they maintain this price/quality standards.
