Harley Benton JA-60CC Shell Pink

I've had this guitar (in shell pink) for 3 weeks now and it's honestly one of the best guitars I've played and had the pleasure of owning. I can't claim to have ever owned a fender, or a Gibson or any expensive Guitar because I have not. I've played and owned many squires, low end Ibanez and esp guitars. Over the last year or so I've read many good reviews of Harley Benton guitars and I've been looking for a Jazz/Jag shape guitar at a reasonable price and this guitar delivers that and more. No tuning issues at all, no setup or action issues and no blemish or defect issues. The guitar plays perfectly well and the pickups themselves sound great and can be played clean or with OD/Distortion and still sound good. It's very comfortable to play. I had high hopes and expectations and I was not disappointed. I'm currently playing through an old (2009) Zoom pedal Into an old Spider 4 I've had for nearly 13 years (when I was 17) and it still sounds wonderful. I don't doubt it would sound even better with a new amp and or pedal. I recommend this to anyone viewing this page and thinking about buying it. The guitar is a bit lighter in weight than I thought it would be and that's a good thing. In comparison my affinity tele feels like it weighs a ton. Really good for any genre I've played on it. from Takanaka to The used. From Chon to Attila. There isn't anything I've played that I haven't been able to get the right sound on. 5/5 across the board.

I bought the JA-60CC blindly after having watched a video on it briefly. Something told me that I wouldn't be disappointed, but I had to keep my expectations low for a guitar in this price range.

Finally, the guitar had come in and gone through a serious checkup to see what the situation was. The neck was in perfect condition, and the fret job had to have been one of the best I've ever seen. The pickups that frightened me mostly came around twice.
Being primarily a metal player, I put the pickups through the wringer, exceeding every expectation. The body paint was put on excellently as well, with no hasty job markings or blemishes.

Overall, this instrument has turned out to be my everyday go-to guitar for studio sessions, and I can't recommend this guitar enough. For this price point, this is an absolute steal!

Everyone on Youtube and Facebook have been raving about this so I went for it. I am NOT disappointed. This thing played perfectly straight out of the box. I put Not Even Slinky's on it and tuned it to C Standard and it is beautiful. The Pickups are surprisingly good. Like, REALLY good. I've had my share of very pricey guitars over the last 20 years, and currently still have a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Classic and an 80's Charvel Model 2 that I love. But I will never buy an expensive guitar again. I'm going to replace my whole lineup with Harley Bentons and store my more pricey guitars. I know that sounds kind of... drastic, but these things are just that good. I am legitimately and very genuinely impressed!

Ok, so I've read and watch many reviews on Harley Benton guitars.
Decided to try this one out, I had absolutely no expectations when I ordered it. And it's almost flawless! Frets a great, neck is straight and smooth, pick-ups sound fantastic, tuners good enough 3.5/5, the guitar just needed a minor setup when I got it,
I planned to do some upgrades on this guitar and I've almost thrown that idea out of the window, might change the tuners, other than that I'm keeping it stock.
I've had it for three days now and have not put it down, I ordered Ibanez S671ALB-BCM in the same order and I've barely played that :D But that guitar is fantastic to.

I will definitely check out more HB guitars in the future.
