I own several guitars, including Fender, Epiphone, Squier, and Gretsch. I was looking for a Special with P90 pickups when I came across this guitar, and after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot.
Wow—this guitar has exceeded all my expectations! Right out of the box, the setup is perfect: super low action, no fret buzz, and flawless paintwork. The fretboard is stunningly dark, and the neck feels incredibly comfortable.
The P90s sound fantastic—exactly what you’d hope for from this type of pickup. Honestly, I don’t know if I just got lucky or if all of them come this well set up, but well done, Harley Benton—this guitar is truly impressive.
In comparison, my two Fenders weren’t as well finished and needed a proper setup. But this Harley Benton? It was perfect straight out of the box.
