Harley Benton JA-60 OW

As always fast shipping and with good packaging.
The guitar arrived with many aesthetic problems in the binding part of the neck, and with a lot of roughness due to varnish on the back of it.
I have solved them with a little fine sandpaper, and blurring the color of the binding with the same sandpaper.
The join of the neck with the body is not bad, but in cheaper guitars of the same brand it was perfect and here it is far from perfect.
Best of all, the guitar came to me with Daddario strings, totally unexpected.
The frets were unpolished, but since I have leveled them I have also polished them. There was buzzing at the 18th and 20th frets on some strings.
The worst "problem" is that the curvature of the TOM bridge does not match to the fingerboard. The bridge has less curvature than the fingerboard which means that when adjusting the action with strings 1 and 6, strings 3 and 4 buzz because they touch on the neck. This means that you have to sacrifice the height of the E strings and adjust the action with the G and D strings.
The pickups are Roswell Jazz masters, which sound great in my opinion, although they don't have a lot of output gain. They are not P90, as sometime they appeared at the description.
The pickup selector is quite effective as are the volume and tone controls.
The headstock machines are vintage type and holds the tuning very well as well as being very smooth and precise, surprisingly.
The guitar is very light and dives slightly.
Due to its characteristic shape, it is uncomfortable to play while sitting on the sofa or chair.
I recommend it to anyone looking specifically for a guitar of this type.
As a first guitar, or for a simple pickup sound, better a strato or telecaster type.

La guitarra no está mal por lo que cuesta, ningún problema en cuanto construcción y funciona perfectamentela electrónica, pastillas, potes y conmutador. Yo la quería para probar en ella diferentes electrónicas, un switch series/paralelo, circuito PTB como una G&l, cambio de fase, colocarle un tremolo Duesemberg,..... perfecta para mi.
En cuanto a acabados pues el binding se ve muy de plástico asi como las inserciones del mástil y la pintura bastante fragil, con cualquier golpe salta.
Yo tengo el último modelo con pastillas Jazzmaster, por mucho que diga Thomann P90 incluso en sus vídeos de YouTube, lo podéis ver en la página de Roswell, son Jazzmaster.
Estan mal posicionadas, lejos del puente y del mástil, deberían estar 1,5 cm más cerca del puente y mástil y más separadas entre si (3 cm)
El pickguard nuevo no está nada mal, no como el anterior.
El hardware es barato, puente y afinadores, pero correctos para su precio.

En conclusión guitarra barata y perfectamente utilizable directamente recién sacada de la caja, afinandola obviamente, si te gusta y se ajusta a tu presupuesto, a por ella.
