Definitely impressed
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.

It's a steal
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!

Great Guitar for the Price
Great guitar, great sound. For the price you can't go wrong with this guitar. Has a comfortable fretboard, I have fairly small hands and have struggled with larger fretboard radius's and this one is great. Tone is great, adding some overdrive via a pedal/dirty channel really brings out the best in this guitar. It looks great too, certainly looks and feels like it should cost a lot more than it does. I did have a loose volume pot, which was swiftly replaced by Thomann.

Money well spent
Bearing in mind that this is all in relation to the cost... this is an exceptional instrument. The sound comes off as a bit thin when the split is engaged. The neck pickup in the humbucker setting has a beautiful, rich sound. The finish on the fretboard is pretty much flawless to my eye. Tuners are smooth. I don't know where you'd get a better guitar for the money.

Playing for your pounds
I've been a Harley Benton buyer for some time. I don't know any other right handed guitarist who have to play lefthanded guitar (due to the tip of my little finger being cut off in a metal gate accident when I was very small) There are so many styles and prices of guitar to choose from that was unheard of when I started guitar forty years ago!!!!!. This is a tele with teeth and a top quality guitar.

Ridiculously good value at sub-£300
Great guitar for the money. The fretwork is really nice and smooth, as is the finish on the body. The locking tuners hold tune well and don't lose stability over long bends.
The coil splitting is a bit mixed for my uses, it sounds a bit thin, almost out of phase sounding. The humbuckers themselves though are very strong, with a nice medium output. Nice and versatile.

Beauty is a Beast
The Guitar is flawless, I have had more fun with the guitar than I could image, setup out the box was spot on and it played like a champion, looking forward to purchasing another with the tremolo.
