Excellent
Great action and set-up out of the box. I changed the knobs to a clear but the black also look good. This baby can sing. I also love the weight.
I really can't find anything con about this guitar, it's a beauty.
I must also commend Thomann for changing the delivery option away from USPS which usually took over 2 to 3 months for delivery to UPS which took Only 3 Days to United States.

How is it even possible?
I own several guitars, including Fender, Epiphone, Squier, and Gretsch. I was looking for a Special with P90 pickups when I came across this guitar, and after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot.
Wow—this guitar has exceeded all my expectations! Right out of the box, the setup is perfect: super low action, no fret buzz, and flawless paintwork. The fretboard is stunningly dark, and the neck feels incredibly comfortable.
The P90s sound fantastic—exactly what you’d hope for from this type of pickup. Honestly, I don’t know if I just got lucky or if all of them come this well set up, but well done, Harley Benton—this guitar is truly impressive.
In comparison, my two Fenders weren’t as well finished and needed a proper setup. But this Harley Benton? It was perfect straight out of the box.

My Dream Guitar at an ridiculously affordable price.
This is a super modded les junior. The neck also makes it easier to get to the upper fret. The feel is amazing. The material used has a smooth coating. It’s not as heavy as a les Paul either. The tone on this guitar is subjective. I personally do not like the pick ups but the ones it comes with offer a lot of upgrade options you can swap out. I’m gonna put some fish men pickups on this baby. I’m really happy with this guitar and will continue to use Harley Benson guitars from now on.

Better than MaxFusion
I bought a MaxFusion, twisted neck, bad routing, trem to large for the route, unable to set up at my tech’s shop. A disaster!! Got a refund, and got this. Not only did I save money but this guitar was just about perfect. Yes it needed a set up, the nut needed shaved, truss road adjustment, lower the bridge. But thats normal. This was by far a much better instrument! One bad thing, it did have a black smudge on the back of the guitar but o well! I’ll be teaching with this guitar for a long time! Love it

The neck and P90s 🔥🔥🔥
This guitar rips! I picked up this guitar with intent of modding it, but it’s pretty much ready to rip right out of the box.
The “60s C” neck is amazing and Harley Benton should use it on more models!!
The P90 pickups do all the P90 things. Nice single coil clean up, but they scream when you hit them with some gain!
The white finish is very nice too. It’s NOT sticky and shiny. The neck plays very smooth with the finish also

Another Home Run
This guitar is a faithful tribute to a classic design. The neck feels like a chunky 50s-style baseball bat—substantial and vintage in vibe. The tuning machines function smoothly, and the pickups deliver that unmistakable P90 tone. It was ready to play right out of the box after tuning, though I gave the truss rod a slight tweak and fine-tuned the nut for a lower action. The frets? Flawless. Truly another home run.
This is already my fourth Harley Benton, and this one continues to impress. The finish feels more like a matte texture—different from typical satin—and while it’s not the most refined take on “faded white,” it still gives me a solid platform for future modding. The stock strings felt a bit dry to the touch, so I’d recommend swapping them out.
All things considered, this is an outstanding value guitar. It delivers far more than you’d expect for the price, and while I’ve nitpicked a few things, they’re minor at best. For what it costs, this guitar absolutely punches above its weight.

Finish and Neck and P90's OH MY!
High output P90's, The neck is SUPER comfortable and the finish on this guitar is amazing. The tones are beautiful and it has a fat low end (which I love) I cant say anything bad about this guitar. What I can say is, It has a professional feel and look to it, it goes everywhere with me and is my favorite guitar in my Harley Benton collection.
You wont be disappointed!

So much for so little
Great guitar. I needed to do a little bit of setup because I like the action a little lower than how it came from the factory. Other than that, it punches well above its weight!!!

Cool guitar
Great looks and feel. Bit underwhelmed by the sounds but for the price it’s great fun. Finish is great and will wear in with playing. Nice weight and a chunky neck. Needed new strings and some lemon oil but most new guitars do. Made more complicated by the sh*t show that is Brexit but that’s what happens when cretins vote you out of the biggest customs and trade bloc…but at least the passports are blue again…lol
