Harley Benton SC-Custom III Lemon Flame

I currently have 4 guitars and been playing for over 30 years, going through many guitars cheap and expensive before settling on what I have now, a Telecaster guy looking for a single cut. I'm a bit of a guitar snob, so was dubious about getting this.

The finish is actually prettier than I was expecting, it's not in your face yellow and more a levely honey yellow, the finish and binding on the body, neck and headstock is flawless, there are no issues with sharp fret edges they all feel fine. The Grover tuners are smooth and precise, after tuning it also came intonated requiring me to do no setting up, which is a nice thing.

The electronic switches and pots feel OK and the chrome hardware is nice.

So, I plugged into and Orange micro terror, no FX, just the amp, it sounds great, but I wanted some FX in there so I then went through my Boss GX 100, found myself playing for longer than I intended.

If I was going to criticise anything I think the pickups could do with tiny bit more clarity, that said;

It sounds great whatever I plug it into, the finish and quality is excellent and well worth the money. If you're looking for a single cut guitar this won't disappoint, I'm no longer a guitar snob.
