Great guitar
Bought this guitar a while ago and im using it on a band practice..
Pros:
Finish is amazing.. no rough spots and the burst is really making the guitar shine.. Neck is comfortable c shape..stock pickups were ok but i changed them for emg 81.. which made it sound like heaven..
Cons:
Guitar is after 15 min of playing (i play pretty hard.. so that maybe wont be your problem) out of tune, so you probably have to change tuners and especially nut and seddles.. i dont know why, but i am not able to get the intonation right..
Overall if you put some work into it and do some upgrades it can become high end guitar..

Harley Benton ST-20HSS
Sound:
The stock pickups are good enough to play any music genres. The humbuckers sounded pretty well with hi-gain amps. Even with clean effects it sounded great. The other two single pickups are also good although not excellent to my taste.
Finish:
Overall I can say that the finish on this guitar is pretty well-built. The one i received had an excellent finishing. The frets are nicely placed. Fretboard is amazing. Its just the tuners that can go tiny bit of out tuning when played hard. The sunburst colour makes it like an expensive guitar. I have friends coming over and look at this guitar first time thinking it cost above 200Euros because of how it looks.
Conclusion:
My final verdict for this guitar is that anyone should get one of these Harley Benton products. I played guitar for 20 years and really satisfied with it. For gigs, this guitar can be a saviour if you get what i mean.

Unexpected quality for such price!
Great guitar for absolute beginners, even maybe for intermediate guitarists! Mine stays in tune just well, sounds good and amazing quality. The only problem I can say is, the tone knobs doesn't work at all. But it's not big deal for me.

Can’t beat the quality and price
I played this guitar at church every Sunday for over two years.
Recommend it!
The only thing is I had to put better strings and lightly sand the frets. Now it’s great!

Correct Prize/Value
You cannot ask more from a guitar with this price. Just enough quality in construction and setup.
Sound only good for practicing beginners, nothing else.

Great guitar for that money
the only thing that bugged me is the quality of plastic part. While the wood looks and feels very good, the quality of plastic knobs is terrible. And i know that plastic knobs dont affect the playing, but c'mon, really? HB made a decent guitar and all of that nice impression was spoiled by plastic knobs. Make the guitar 2 eur more expensive, but provide it with decent furniture

Great guitar
However, I got a defective one. The wire inside the connection socket was cut. So the sound was disgusting with lot of noise and whistle.
But I fixed the issue with my forces. And now it's a great one.
