It's not perfect
This is my 1st harley benton guitar. It had to be something good but...
pros: wood work, frets, nothing wrong here. good locking tuners, good nut, ok for 500 EUR guitar
cons: these emg's are really made in Indonesia.
volume and tone knobs are very cheap, toggle switch also feels very cheap.
the worst - bridge pickup was broken. it sounds like single coil pickup and produces a lot of noise. I even though to return back this guitar without any doubts and forget about harley benton for ever but I tried to experiment and dig into it. I changed them, checked wiring, issue was 100% clear - bridge pickup. I took spare emg 81 and problem has gone. Maybe its hard to detect such issues while they checked it in their facility, I do not know, it produced sound but it was wrong sound.
Also, tool for truss rod does not fit.
This is my review after 1 day of usage.

How can this guitar can be as smooth as a +1500€ one?
I've played a ton of guitars and I'm no one to be objective as it's all about feelings. I wanted a baryton guitar for some concerts I wanted to make in 2020 (little did I know), hence this guitar as a test. HB came from being an entry-range to an amazing middlerange quality brand, so... who to trust but not Thomann?
When I first tested this guitar, I simply could not believe it.
PROs :
. So simple to play, makes you feel on a 1500€ guitar easy
. EMG pickups makes it metal but the cleans stay warm and powerful
. Recorded already tons of albums with it and it's holding its shape perfectly
. C o m f o r t a b l e !
CONs
. It doesn't hold a perfect perfect tuning but éh, that's really to find something
. I doesn't make my morning tea
OVERALL
. I offered this guitar to my best friend
. Another 2 friends want it
. Everyone who tested it loved it
. Me included

Nothing but almost the best
Not that articulate but I must tell you this is an amazing guitar. I wouldn't change the pickups because they are very dynamic, the neck is flawless, a joy to play, I immediately tuned it B to B and even the factory strings are nice. Stays in tune despite my very hard picking, very well balanced, and gorgeous to boot. I only dislike where the top strap button is so I moved it to the end of the top horn, and I'm currently having issues with the input jack, after getting it in may, and I am in the process of contacting Thomann. Otherwise this guitar is an absolute joy to play.

Awesome neck-thru baritone guitar
The intonation could not quite be adjusted correctly out of the box due to bridge placement/screw length. It wasn't bad enough to require relocating the bridge, but I did have to buy longer screws for the string saddles.
Now that I've had this guitar for a while it shreds like Shrek on Crack. I love it. It's a wicked neck-thru axe with awesome growling screaming pickups that don't have the feedback issues that plague passive pickups.

It sounds and looks really great
It was my best guitar for solos. Unfortunately it was crushed in accident. So I miss it very much.

Best and beauty.
...
- The HB stickers on the head have fallen off
- The jack socket does not hold the cable well (so-so)
... but these are all small trouble
