Harley Benton Baritone-7 SBK

2022 Model: They changed the old hot rail style pickups for something more conventional, but there's zero note separation on the low strings now. Forget about playing extended chords. The bridge pickup sounds like a muddy neck pickup, and the neck pickup is even muddier. My model also had some QC issues. It looks like it was beaten with a hammer after the 12th fret. Big, glaring dents along the neck where the fret ends are. Never saw anything like it before. Tuners are cheap feeling but work fine. Nut was cut well. Frets are smooth enough with no sharp fret ends. Neck is slim but has high shoulders. Almost feels like a slim D shape. Comfortable enough I suppose. Just a pity about the pickups in particular. Unusable for recording right now (using Neural DSP sims)
