Harley Benton Slider II Lap Steel w/Stand

What do you expect from something this inexpensive? Don't be fooled by Harley Benton's good reputation -- I believe they are simply slapping their logo on a lap steel that is available under a number of budget brand names.
Poor alignment of components, so the pickup is so far off center that the last pole piece isn't even under the high string. Cheap tuners meant for a nylon string guitar, very delicate to dial in tune. Legs slip no matter how tight you turn the thumb screw. One of the tuner holes has tear out. Plastic box for tone bar arrived broken in half. Included strings aren't well balanced for C6 tuning. Short scale length make intonating more difficult. I'm skeptical the legs will survive many times being taken off before the attachment threads strip / cross thread. Tone rolls off very suddenly at the end of its range, like it maybe does not have the correct taper (audio vs linear).
Considering the number of quality issues I do think they overcharge for this. It should be much easier and cheaper for them to manufacturer than a cheap Strat clone, since no fretboard, only one pickup, hard tail, simple shape. But it costs more.
This thing is fun enough I kind of wish I'd just spent more money on a higher quality instrument.

I lost a couple of fingers, and thought maybe a lap guitar is a nice way to get back into playing guitar.

The harley benton branded guitars have decent reviews on youtube, so i thought to give this a go ... and, you can not expect much for a 100 euro instrument, but this .... a long story short, it looks nice as a prop ... but that is all

When i unpacked it several plastics broke, the knobs of the feet where gone, and i am not a lapsteel player, but the action is way, way to high ... and i have a hard time getting some decent tunes out of it

Please do not let my review make you think bad of the harley benton brand ... i bought two other harley benton guitars ... a bass also around 100€ for a project ... and a harley benton st 90 ... and that is a very, very decent strat that can live up to its original counterpart thats made in the narco country
