Excellent guitar after a few tweaks
I really like the sound of the guitar (my first Harley Benton): the pickups are actually much more versatile than I expected. I love the neck, both the profile and the matte finish are really nice - it probably feels as good as the best guitars I've ever held in my hand. Finish overall is done very nicely and no issues can be found there.
There were some negative sides as well - it's impossible to properly intonate, even after flipping the saddle on the G string (which isn't really doable on the bridge the guitar comes with as the clip holding the saddle screw will deform once you remove and replace it). It seems like the bridge is positioned too close to the neck.
My guitar needed a fret leveling out of the box.
I'd also love if they'd compensate the Tune-O-Matic style bridge saddle slots to match the radius of the fingerboard, otherwise it's hard to get a low action without the two middle strings buzzing. It's an easy thing to fix though by cutting the slots in the saddles lower with nut files.
I wouldn't recommend it as the first guitar unless you are willing to take it to a decent luthier for a proper set up and fret work.

JA60CC is a true strummer
Versatile and good looking, this offset slams into the grunge sound on a budget. Two things: mine arrived with a cracked pickup and was an obvious demo model- there were scuffs on the base of the fretboard. Tone is fine and fits well into the mix. Good be alye, but my experience could have been better.
