Finish issues
The specifications are good, the wilkson bridge, the locking tuners and stainless steel freets are good. The sound it's not so grate, the rosewell pickups are not the gratest choise but i can live with it, with some tweek in the amp and i can achieve some good tones. But the real issue is after a few months the finish started to crack in the neck joint :( ... i hope is just the finish and not the wood :( ... unfortunatly the thomann suport and warranty in this specific case was realy poor. Maybe I had bad luck, but definitely this will be my first and last HB guitar.

My first bad Harley Benton
Im a Harley Benton fan, this one was my 3rd HB guitar and I guess I have been lucky with the other 2. They were flawless.
This one though, had many issues straight out of the box:
- The neck was not aligned with the body, how can this pass Quality control ?
- Frets were rough, could hear them screech with every bending
- High E string easily sliding out of fretboard when fretting, likely related to neck not aligned with body
- Neck pickup sounds quite dull
- Split coil function makes it sound very thin, requires volume and gain adjustments on your signal to make it work
- Locking tuners were not really locking, after a relatively mild whammy bar push/pull, it would detune
Honestly the only good thing about it was the bridge pickup, that one sounded lovely. But the rest of the problems were not worth keeping it

Nice,
I did not get the Cream of the Crop on this Instrument, but Thomann made it right either way. The Fusion is a bit Pricier, this one could have been better crafted. Just saying,
