IT WORTH IT!
ChristianFer92 05.01.2021
Deciding in between the red on and the blue one, i did the right choice and took this one.
The translucid blue with the gold details its just an eye candy.

Playability:
The neck feel fast. Im not a fast player, but I can see how comfortable it can be it you are a shreeder. Quite a thin feeling in the neck, yet very solid feel.

Sounds:
Clean sounds are rich. I have this guitar on B standar and the lows are delicious. The sustain its impresively "long" compared to other guitars this price range.
Distortions feels just perfect. It chugs and the dinamics that this pickups offer its just surprisingly good!

Floyd Rose can be tricky if you've never had one to intonate and tune, but it becomes a "pro" instead of a "con" after you learn how to use fully and adjust one.
Takes time but it worth it.
Otherhand you could just block the floyd rose and not think about it with a piece of wook in between the block and the guitar cavity and you problem will be solved.

The only "neg feedback" I could give its that the toggle switch feels a bit "cheap" as it wobbles a bit, but this becomes irrelevant at this price range and the fact that it does work correctly without extra sounds or interference makes it worth the price. YOu could also change it and it wont take you more than 10 minutes and medium to low soldering skills.

TLDR:
- Fast neck
- BEAUTIFUL GUITAR TO LOOK AT.
- Sounds fantastic for rock and i can testify that for metal also.
- Clean tones are rich in low and mid frequencies.
- Floyd Rose (Licenced) bridge advantage
- THE PRICE of this instrument its just too good to let it pass if you are thinking on getting one.

Recommended.

I was amazed at the quality for the price.
Robert from Myrtle Beach, USA 24.11.2020
As an old man of 66 that hasn't played a guitar since I was 20 ( I sucked back then) I have been wanting to learn to play again. This guitar caught my eye on YouTube reviews. I know a Floyd Rose in not recommended for beginners but being the ultimate tinkerer and with You Tube guides I figured what the hell. I wasn't disappointed.

I am a beginner so can't speak about technical specs but what I can say is I am very impressed by the quality, specially at only $142. I could see no defects in the finish, the frets are nice and smooth, it has a great sound on my Marshall amp.

Of course I couldn't keep my hands off the trem and totally screwed up the tuning but happy to say with a bit (OK, a lot) of tinkering it is back to normal. I love this guitar because if it was some expensive name brand I would have been hesitant to play with the trem. For $142 it is a nice guitar to take apart and play with. I learned a lot from this S-620 already.

As for playing, an inexpensive guitar in my day was junk that was almost impossible to play. This has a nice fee. It came with a very nice set up and I am able to play easily.

The Pros? $142 got me a guitar with which I am quite happy. It is pretty, plays well, sounds good. Did I mention it is only $142? ;-)

The Cons? Nothing about which I can complain.

If you are looking for an entry level guitar (and willing to learn how to set up a Floyd Rose Trem) I have to say this is a very nice one.

Very nice guitar
Yorkshire Lad 30.03.2021
Received on 30/03/2021. First impressions are, nice looking guitar. The finish is flawless and looks nice in blue with the gold hardwear. The neck is also flawless and the back of the neck has a lovely smooth satin finish, without a blemish in sight. The volume and tone knobs feel very smooth and roll off nicely, better than expected at this price. The only issue that i have found, is that the volume knob protrudes above the body, but does not affect its operation in any way. The pickups are unnamed, but sound ok, just sound a bit thin on the bridge pick. The tuners look nice and seem to have a smooth resistance to them. The FR by HB trem seem to be well made and is not too stiff like some i have tried. Overall, i think for the money, this is a very good guitar. Ive now bought 5 HB guitars, and would certainly recommend this one, cam always swap out the pickups at a later date.

I'M GONNA PLAY THIS GUITAR TO PIECES!
N13M0 15.12.2022
I didn't buy it for the cosmetics, but it's gorgeous! I got it for the Floyd Rose and it's working out surprisingly well after a few minor adjustments. The electronics are all fully functional and I think it sounds pretty great stock. My Van Halen riffs are starting to sound a bit like Van Halen riffs! I really couldn't be happier with my purchase. It traveled halfway around the world to get to me and it feels rock solid. Sweet guitar! I'm gonna play it every day.

Unbelievable rock axe
Marty-b 13.01.2020
I was looking for an Ibanez/Jackson style shredder but from the HB stable and decided to take a punt on the S-620 tb,and what a gem it turned out to be.It arrived very well packed after only 4 days from Thomman,where it had been inspected and set up prior to dispatch,not a single blemish anywhere after close inspection! Frets were very well polished and finished off,the neck is nicely bound and a delight to play.I still can’t get over the fact that it’s fitted with a genuine Floyd Rose which functions superbly,and the new headstock logo is a quality improvement.Plugging in to my Fender hot rod deluxe this thing sings,easily comparable to my Ibanez RG 350dx ,I can highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a fast shred style axe,get one before everyone wises up to how good they are and the price goes up!

Friggen Amazing
Drowsdog 06.08.2022
What an incredible value. I am blown away I have paid more for a case! This S-620 is so good. I have bought Dean, Shechter, Jackson and Charvel guitars. And this Harley Benton has just kicked all there ass's I absolutely love it. The frets a perfect and the string action is the lowest I have ever seen right out of the box with no buzz anywhere. I don't know how anyone can build something this good and sell it for so little money. I will be buying one of every model. You folks have just changed the game. Thank you Thomann

Beautiful instrument, really wowed!
Samurean03 17.11.2021
Everything that I read about it was spot on. Beautiful guitar and after sitting for a day or so it is finally acclimated to where I live, being shipped from Germany to the USA here in Texas. The only thing that they need to work on is the fine-tuning knobs on the locking tremolo system seem to be made of plastic, about a $5 US fix, otherwise a very beautiful guitar with no blemishes in its fit or finish or electronics.
I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a great instrument at a great price!

Another Winner!
Greg1967 09.06.2023
All I had to do was set the intonation and polish the frets. Nothing on this guitar needs modding.

I'm impressed again with Thomann and Harley Benton, just click buy and 5 days later a new toy arrives at my door.

Overall amazing
MihaiG11 07.02.2022
This is my first guitar and it's amazing
The sound is a lot better than i expected (connected to an higher-end amp/pickups arent bad at all)
The floyd rose it's also a good quality one for it's price.
The fredboard feels premium
I have been playing on it for a little over 2 months on it and i have no complains. (My guitar teacher also played on it and he was a bit surprised for what you can get at it's price)
If i could i would give it more than 5 stars

I recommend buying this guitar with all your trust, i couldn't be more satisfied with this product than i already am.
