Harley Benton R-458 BK Progressiv Series

Neck became badly bowed and warped under the strain of heavier strings. Headstock joint looked thin and stressed. Action was much too high and I was unable to get it under control because of the warping of the neck.

Pickups sounded muddy and overly dark, without much clarity, even in high notes.

I played with it for a day, then put it in the closet in my "dead guitar" pile.

.. But the condition it was handled to me by the so called quality control team it's beyond laughably poor. Chip missing on the headstock and the second pickup frame is destroyed beyond repair forcing me to forgo further purchases and modifications thankfully from another store. I don't recommend Harley benton or Thoman as a purchasing option at least from online stores. Maybe the in-house for display items are in proper form.

Nice Guitar but My came with a twisted neck. I fixed it and now is ok. I just have bad luck I think.
