so-so
It was delivered with very decent setup, which I discovered later is probably the best you can get out of this axe. I had smaller issues with pots getting loose very soon, but the bigest remark was for fretwork, which takes solid luthier to remedy. For the price I'd say decent, but it is not enjoyable instrument

Surprised and quite pleased
A very low cost guitar that surprises for its price. Lightweight, best when played standing. Love the look. Slightly awkward to play when sat

Good for the price, but not quite the usual HB standard
Overall the guitar looks amazing and I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of neck dive (which I was fearing).
It sounds good and it's nice to play, the actual is nice and low, the frets are well finished.
However, there is fret buzz at the top of the board, the fret board is incredibly dry. I'm hoping the dye won't rub off when I give it some tlc. There is an annoying notch on the back of the neck where it's not quite finished right and there's a couple of imperfections on the finish of the body.
Overall it's good, and you can't complain for the price, but I've had quite a few Harley Bentons and this one is by far and away the least "polished" I've ever had from them.

Could be better
This guitar worked flawlessly for one year, but then it started to break.
My rating might be too strict for a 100? guitar, but what ever. This guitar sounds great if you have a good amp. The neck pickup is great for clean sounds and for soloing and the bridge pickup gives a great, powerful sound. The 3-way-switch works perfectly. Strings are a bit too high in my opinion though.
The neck doesn't give a good ability to reach the four last frets. Fretboard and neck are still very good though.
Tuning is really hard with this one. It just doesn't really keep the tune. That's what made the playing really frustrating. The tuners are not good also. The plug is placed really weirdly. If you like to sit while playing it just keeps pressing your thigh.
This guitar is great for beginners, but if you have played for a longer time, don't buy this one.
