Harley Benton TE-90FLT LH VW Deluxe Series

I was very excited to see the TE-90FLT in a lefty version and ordered one when I saw it was avaible on the Thomann website. It came very well protected and It was well intonated and almost in tune which is nice.

The guitar had some flaws.

- The nut was not mounted centered to the fretboard.
- The frets had glue and dirt on them, clearly noticable when doing bends.
- The neck had dent marks.
- The neck was a little dirty when the factory lackered it which was clearly visible on the backside.

For me the above was not a bigger issue. I removed the neck, sanded and relackered it. The nut I replaced and centered. I also changed the tuners to locking tuners but the stock tuners are working fine. Finally I polished the frets.

I would rate the guitar which was sent to me as a b-stock guitar. I think people expect a flawless guitar when order a non b-stock from Thomann. It plays great now and I am very happy about feel and sound.
