Harley Benton Guitar MAX Fusion Signature PF

The guitar offers great value and have features that you will only find in much more expensive guitars.

The guitar did come with a couple of issues however.

1- Frets are quite rough so I'd recommend you get yourself a fret polishing kit.

2- Pickups while not amazing, they sound fine, but the ones on my guitar make a noticeable hum sound when playing (while using them as humbuckers). I'm still figuring out if it's a pickup issue or if it is an issue with the pots, cables or grounding.

Overall I think it's still great value despite its flaws.

It’s very very good.
pros:
-the floyd rose 1000 stays in tune
-amazing features like the coil splitting and the truss rod being easily accessible
-the guitar was playable straight out of the box
- the neck and the paint job are beautiful

cons:
-you need to get used to not having any fret markers on the fretboard
-the cover on the back where the springs are doesn’t sit flush with the body which is a bit ugly but i was going to remove it anyway
-when splitting the neck humbucker you dont get the iconic sound of a single coil but it doesn’t sound bad necessarily just a bit muffled

This guitar is worth every penny.

Initially I wasnt much impressed, but after about a month of owning I just have only (almost) very positive impressions. First of all is its look - in the dark or under the sun, it just shines with its deep violet color. Amazing to look, touch, hold it. The neck actually is very comfortable - now I like it even more than my previous Wizard III. Other reviews say its chunky, but personally for me it turned to be more comfortable, especially for chords. And I dont have large hands. Neck materials are just amazing: in my case piece of neck wood has rich beautiful image, coating is very smooth, frets are all leveled (checked with rocker) and well handled (except that I had to re-polish them all). Wouldn't change it for another! :) Pickup config works VERY well for different styles - didnt have any problems getting shiny startty sounds and heavily overloaded heavy sounds. Sure, it's not a single coil, but still - some eq work and amp settings give you really great tones. Although it is positioned as a metal guitar, I mainly use it for cleans and crunch, and in majority of cases I'm able to reproduce desired tone pretty well.
About negatives. I dont like tremolo, but I knew it in advance, and immediately locked it. It holds tuning perfectly now. Pickups are great but a bit noisy - on hi gain I must use noise gate (noise is higher than on my another HH guitar). Also I dont like reverse headstock - you just dont see tuners while tuning the guitar.
Overall, as title says, just love this guitar, its quality, beauty and comfort make every session really enjoyable.
