A Harley PRS for a very low price

Harley Benton CST-24HBPublished on 03/31/17 at 14:40
This model inspired by the PRS Hollowbody I is really surprising.

(and for a low, low price, you almost get a tailored suit of a guitar!)

A very good, versatile instrument so pretty and unexpensive, you couldn’t get all that a few years back.
Let’s begin with its only real weak point: the wraparound bridge, also featured on many more high-end guitars.
First, it has to be set up with more care as the guitar comes with a standard setting, a (way too) high action, pickup height to be readjusted and frets to be polished… Once all these operated, you can measure this machine’s real potential.

This model inspired by the PRS Hollowbody I is really surprising.

A very good, versatile instrument so pretty and unexpensive, you couldn’t get all that a few years back.
Let’s begin with its only real weak point: the wraparound bridge, also featured on many more high-end guitars.
First, it has to be set up with more care as the guitar comes with a standard setting, a (way too) high action, pickup height to be readjusted and frets to be polished… Once all these operated, you can measure this machine’s real potential.

A hollowbody with a beautiful maple top and two very acceptable humbuckers that can be split into single coil – offering a good compromise in between a strat’s clear and slappy sound and the round, warm one of a LP.

The clean sound is just astounding. Crunch sounds are very precise and progressive. As for big saturations they require more accurate settings, but that’a also the case with guitars 5 to 10 times as expensive.

While very agreeable and fast to play, the neck may not be up to par with an Ibanez or some strats but it’s already quite good.

I have all sorts of guitars, some of which are considered high-end instruments : if you except for a few finish imperfections here and there, this one is largely in their league.

This 200-bucks guitar can satisfy both amateur players and more demanding professional players.
I find it as pleasing and efficient as my Godin LGXT – plus its only 1/10th of the price !

If you’re after a very beautiful guitar to play all sorts of styles without breaking the bank, go for it!

Of course, you won’t get the prestige associated with playing a legendary brand’s instrument but this guitar still has its own prestige – and who knows, it might even become a legend?
