Just got rid of a Vintage semi-acoustic guitar I wasn't using very much. Managed to get £170 for it, then bought this for £120-00... that's a little Xmas money sorted then. New guitar AND a few quid in my pocket! I'm a happy camper!  ;D ;D ;D

Good review Johnny - was going to say you should start a YouTube channel but I see you already have one !  I'll be watching a few more of your videos now !

Looks like a good guitar for the money - hope you enjoy it, it certainly sounds good to my ears !

Man, you are a real guitar hero ! thanks for the review...
 It tells us how much we are ready to pay for a label on the headstock !

 Of course you are right saying a genuine Gibson is dear because we buy it for ostentation concerns. But I think you also have to ask why the Harley Benton is that cheap, and the answer is because it is built by workers paid as much as slaves, and that the wood comes from a forest that will never have a tree again...

Thanks again for the review, but when I see you play I think you could make any crappy guitar sound like it was a 3000€ baby

The playing is off the charts. Love the Gary Mooreisms.

I agree with Daniel you could make a first act sound like a strat but with that said I would trust your review and enjoyed watching.
Rock on!

Excellent review, Johnny, you're obviously impressed with the guitar.

My first electric was a very crappy Les Paul copy (in the early 80's) which only lasted a couple of years and I always had a hankering to get a good one, kind of low level background noise GAS.  Your review may have just brought that up the list a little.

And if I do get one, will I then be able to play guitar like that too?  I've always wanted to be able to shred like that...
