Harley Benton ST70 Deluxe Series Stratocaster Demo and Review

[@carlthecuck3128]

I have this guitar and will mention a few things. First i modded alot of it, replaced pickups, put new tremolo, locking tuners, new string trees, wiring harness, etc. The guitar finish overall i beautiful in person, but out of the 3 bentons i own, the fret work on this one was the poorest. Their were some sharp ends and a couple were raised slightly off the fretboard. But nothing not easily fixed. I love the finish of the guitar which is why i wanted it and it was fun to upgrade. Mine had big problems staying in tune with the tremolo though. The tremolo is fine, but the tuners/string trees just don't keep in tone well. So my BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION is to order the Harley Benton locking tuners and upgraded string trees when you buy the guitar. Trust me its alot cheaper. Fender locking tuners won't fit on this guy so don't even bother with them. Also FYI, the pots on this guitar are all 500K. I upgraded to an obsidian guitar harness and it really sounds nice. Its a fun guitar to play, gorgeous to look at and feels great.

Actually they are not straight out of the Factory, they go from Asia to Thomann in Germany where they go though quality control then they get set up.

OMG this Strat is gorgeous. Great playing Dane. Was that riff I'm Your Captain by Grand Funk? Sounded like it to me. This Strat is love at first sight for me 👍

Thomann needs to branch out to US and Canada... The duty taxes here is ridiculously crazy expensive. In Canada for example, they will charge you for almost the whole price of the guitar!

That's is a nice guitar. Harley Bentona give you a big bank for the buck. Again great looking gutair.

Last time I was in there and played that guitar, it played so terribly. Hopefully it got set up. Or something. There was also some weird finish stuff on the neck. That was my first experience with a Harley Benton and was pretty let down honestly

[@funnydude447]

Had no idea the Cryptkeeper could play guitar!

[@daveydoodle1916]

To bad it’s heavy I’ll pass.
