Harley Benton SC-400LH SBK Classic Series

I had seen these on youtube. I am a lefty so there are not many options to buy quality lefties out there. This was my first ever online purchase so I was very nervous buying a guitar especially knowing it was coming all the way across the pond. Shipping was fast and easy to track, which was surprising. As soon as I opened the box and saw the sc I could not believe what I had gotten for the price. There were a couple of tiny dings which Thomann rectified as soon as it was brought to their attention. Other than that, the guitar played nicely right out of the box. The intonation was perfect, not a high fret to be seen (I actually checked with a straight edge)and the only adjustment was pickup height which is a matter of preference anyhow. One day after letting the guitar acclimatize I was recording in my home studio with it. I could not believe the sound and build quality for that price. Anyone in their right mind should own one of these. Have not picked up my lp studio since buying the HB. This guitar is good for beginners and good for the gigging musician. Many comments have been made to me at the local jams about the looks. I am highly pleased with this product and plan to buy many more HB guitars as their left handed selection is pretty awesome. THANK YOU THOMANN

Nothing negative to report. Good set-up, overall very good quality and finish. Nice colour, black not in glossy finish as usually is looking great!
Tuners are stable and ok, much better than many others on more expensive stuff I had. Neck feels smooth and is easily playable (thanks it is not a glossy coloured one).
The sound... Initially, I bought the guitar to experiment with other pick-ups. However, the ones included are also fine with me. Clear and bright (no idea about the distortion action, as not really being interested in gain / distortion etc. stuff), much clearer than the one and another more muddy Epiphone pick-up of Les Paul style guitars. Also very happy that no push-pull function is added, just pure Les Paul (all you need).
Rather heavy, albeit no mahagony body. No leightweight, just as expected, but feels good.
Very recommendable indeed. A sound and serious guitar.
