Awesome.
beratguitar 18.10.2022
this guitar is just awesome. I've been playing a cheap strat copy for 2 years and finally bought my 2nd ever guitar. it's worlds of difference! absolutely no regrets. i love it. its beautifully set up, no sharp frets, no buzzing. tuners work fine, bridge is fine, pickups are ok, the finish is really nice, knobs are fine, everything is pretty decent. and for this price, it's an absolutely amazing deal. thank you so much thomann and Harley benton. i can finally play metal songs!!!
oh, by the way, its just a little bit heavy. and the neck has a tiny damage but it took me like 30 mins to notice that, not a big deal at all.
i actually wanted the fanfret one, i couldn't buy it. i think it would be a better option for me. but this one works just fine. im gonna get some .74s for this and i can finally play some of my favorite modern metal songs in Drop F
oh also, u get a free cable and 2 allen wrenches for adjusting the saddles and the truss rod. thanks a lot for those :D

Good 7 string
DannySantos 06.10.2023
This is my first 7 string, the sound and quality are perfect, i was suprised by how good it is for the price i have no issues with it, the knobs are a bit stiff but still smooth that's about the only thing but i don't change the knobs so it's not important, looks amazing and sounds amazing, the tunes doesn't change drastically one day from another, hardly needs tuning. Delivery came as expected too, this is a great beginner 7 string, would recommend.

Perfect 7 string not only for start
Paul 666 02.03.2022
I don't mean to fanboy Harley Benton, but being without choice, I had to buy 2 guitars quickly due to stolen goods. Well - I did not expect, that I would order 3rd guitar branded by HB, the 7 string is really a great deal for its price. You won't get a better piece for this price

I've played 7 string Ibanez and the quality between these is really not too far away. I am a drummer primarily, so the opinion might be a bit exaggerated, but not only I have praised the overall quality vs price regarding the instrument.

There was no single scratch, the package came quickly, like it's been sent domestically. 2 guitars came in a slick package, hope that the next one will serve good as well

Frets are distributed evenly and firmly, humbuckers are not muddy at all. Playing through Fender Bullet Amp and audio interface - no noises. Weight distribution is perfect. Scale for long fingers like mine is great, just as fretboard width

Excellent.

You cannot find a guitar with this much quality at this price!!
I use several high-end guitars and tried this model because of the cheapness, just for fun. I didn't have much expectation, but the finish is near perfect. The frets were a little rough, but nothing that couldn't be covered with a nail buffer. All the parts are quite decent, and most importantly, the pickups are not bad at all. No noises, no muddiness, high clarity. I swapped the pickups though in order to do some studio recordings for my band's album demo, and the sound did not have any backsets. The quality is not best, but it's near it. I cannot imagine a guitar in this price that can actually have this kind of specification. Also, I took a look at the wiring section(in order to change my pickups), and the soldering was neat and tidy as well.
Thanks Thomann for the awesome guitar, and the fast shipping to South Korea!
Will I buy another Harley-Benton guitar?
Definitely yes. I would even go for the same models for different tunings. Harley-Benton is opening a new phenomenon in the guitar market. I hope people in my region(South Korea) becomes aware of this awesome deal!

Great guitar
Saltein_NikitBro 19.11.2020
The quality is perfect, but, apparently, due to the delivery, there is a dent on the tip of the headstock, as if the guitar had hit. But this dent is completely invisible. Unfortunately, there are no cutoffs, but for the price it is simply a masterpiece. The sound is good. Tuned the height of the strings on 1 string <1.5 mm, at 7 ~ 2 mm.

For the Price you pay I expected less, but I was wrong.
The guitar itself feels great, the pickups sounds great for the price you pay for. The neck is super comfortable to play especially if you're new to the 7 string world like me. I have not stop playing it since it came to my doorstep.

If you want a 7 string Just get this, it's worth every penny.

Great Sound
Stalanoskvic 09.03.2023
Great sounding guitar, arrived in perfect condition. Playable out of the box.

Ordered lockable tuners for it, the tuner for 7th string is slightly unstable.

I have been tempted to buy this guitar for quite some time, I would highly recommend purchasing if you are thinkinh about it!

My first 7-string love
Oldzen 23.01.2023
I saw this guitar live from a friend and fell in love with it from the first touch, I immediately liked the sound, how it lies in my hand, its shape. I ordered the same one the next day, everything came quickly and neatly, in the near future I will order something else in addition <3

The best seven-string guitar for its price!
Axentinel 29.03.2021
The guitar is very light. I was pleased with the tuning of the guitar. The build quality is close to ideal, but there are minor bumps. The only drawback was not very high-quality pegs, but this is not critical (especially considering the price). The rest of the jambs did not reveal, a great guitar to get acquainted with the worlds of seven strings)
P. S. Thank you to the seller for putting the cable in the kit!
