So 7/10 due finishes! And I already pt rope so I recommend two things: Buy other rope and buy a tuner !!

Made in China by a factory that should make for many brands.
In a perfect manufacturing, manufacturing in 2013 have nothing to do with what they were doing juqqu'en 2010 The ordis machines tools are better resolved.
It appears guitars that deserve our attention.Bien on, if we take the cheapest chères.çà less will not do. But if, for example, you want a VERY GOOD copy Les Paul, take the Harley Benton L450 More Vintage (145 €), believe me, it's going to do, and for those who want a little more, just change the pickups, good strings, again a little electronics (less than 200 € free) and you end up with a guitar that stands up to tools over € 2000, will not have the same logo on the head .... here is very expensive logo. For SG, ditto, choose laHarley Benton S 580 WR, the upgradder and you'll have a far better tool than one ... Ep 400. We approach may be better in the original. Pout the STRATO, choose the Harley Benton ST 62, there is nothing to change, very well finished, equipped with microphones Wilkison, it sounds like hell. I would say the same thing about the low-precision type PJ HTR 4 etc. ..
You understand that through these few lines I defend the brand and the distributor who makes available for us musicians who are not all pros instruments quite acceptables.Y has a kind of snobbery that would have us believe that if a guitar less than 2000 € you pay, it's crap ...... No, you can not buy too much equipment and gives complete satisfaction, so as to begin to go further .. .. After that, we can change for the look, ergonomics better suited, sound etc ... but here does not detract from the quality level of the starting material.

UTILIZATION

For all models I quoted:
perfect handle and refer to the original models is ditto.
For sounds, it's very acceptable, but nothing prevents upgradder with better microphones.

SOUNDS

spend it all sounds, the more bluesy to clean lens or over drive

OVERALL OPINION

equipment used for over a year, either on stage, suddenly one, once the other, which have always given satisfaction. With recoilless course, I would do this choice,
The value for money HARLEY BENTON is quite amazing, do not be a snob and stay on good ideas that enrich a trading system that does not want to be
rushed.

I guess it has t made in Korea
25 fret neck Humbucker pickups base "made in HB"
is a volume one tone knob micro
bah a wooden handle anything!
k'ai not too much to give a note when I put ca 6

UTILIZATION

Then
the handle is quite large, quite thick and a little Vaseline on your hands avbant to play would be welcome in order to make good Demanche ^ ^
then yes everything is very easy access to acute even if one has large hands
balance remains relatively perpendicular to the body qand not you touch
sound, good is not very versatile and it depends mostly on the amp with this kind of scratching

SOUNDS

I play black metal, metal, rock anything that is played with heavy distortion
I play on a 100 watt yorkville
its clear, scratch out the sound quite listenable, especially in the high, you get sound almost equivalent to a BC Rich Bronze in clean
but it is in its saturated its gets complicated: that it does well as the selection micro acute qar when we play in micro serious, it's rough
the sound comes out very well (still micro high) has a good potato, but I find it too CARREMENT chemical on the string of is almost a synth dir!
for now I did not test with other effects but I think it could be pretty good

OVERALL OPINION

I received it today, I do not know if it will hold, we must admit that unlike my BC Rich, I would not bullied too much ...
I like body weight not unbalanced at all, finishing the settings much sensitive
I do not like: THE ROPE OF BAAAAAAAAAAH
report quality unbeatable price (89 euros on thomann)
I think not because I probably over budget later, but for a scratch broke as me and I say it's perfect OUIIIIIIII

I do not know or does it manufactured!
it has 22 frets with micro lot! it is a very good showing that the microphones are.
the regales they must adjust the tones a 10 for a more punch! fromthe selector and its acute rather giving a guitar baucoup punch in the sound.
the handle is very pleasant one easily move the stick! I give 9 / 10

UTILIZATION

Ba as jai said before the handle is very nice and very handy.
each access to acute is a little difficult but it can aller.le weight is very well balanced form is rather easily obtained cool.on sounds good to everyone by regulating acute! I give 10/10 for use

SOUNDS

Then the sound is great it suits me great! Me I play hard rock metal and this guitar is perfect in style! J uses a marshal amp with a pedaled indeed!
j gets sound style acdc, kiss, and another group! it is a really great sound!
I prefer the metal and I love n not too clear sounds! I give 10/10 for its unique sound

OVERALL OPINION

I s used for some time! This guitar is recommended because it is very maneuverable and very comfortable with a great sound! J baucoup I tried the guitar but it sounds great doing it! N the price is not Her not even enough I think! I refer the super choice for this guitar I put 10/10

It's an Asian manufacturing
In my opinion it's alder.
Channel 22fretes
Tune-o-matic
Micro harley benton manufactured by Shadow
1 volume, 1 tone, 3 position switch.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not bad at all, you get used easily for either rhythm or solos.
Access to acute is correct, but not as good as an Epiphone G-400
For my part I find that there is a small imbalance, the head tends to dive when playing standing up, but it is pretty light anyway.
The pots are quite sensitive, and look well made.
.

edit: I changed the anchor point of the strap, see photos of the Epiphone model.
over concern it is right.

SOUNDS

It suits me perfectly, I use only the bridge, I play punk rock and it did not disappoint, unlike what I thought because of its price.
Its clear sound is a little chattering tro in my opinion, but this is often the case with hambucker
I tested it with a distortion pedal behringer ultra metal, and it does well in heavy metal, still easel.
The bridge pickup has a good potato, a light grain, not a bad rhythm.
However the neck pickup is in my opinion a little soft.
It sounds rather dry, which corresponds to what I play

OVERALL OPINION

I use this scraper for 1 year now

The price / quality ratio is excellent and I remake the chosen without hesitation!

- In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

This guitar has probably been manufactured in Asia, but it is not specified.

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

The guitar has 22 frets, two kinds of micro hunbuckers.

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

The name is not specified but it was in Rosewood.

- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

There are three button:
- 1 for the volume from January to October
- A tone for the January-October
- Another one for the selection of micro three choices: First Micro (acute), 2 nd micro (severe), all the micro


- What type of race?

The type of handle is not specified.

Why this note?

So I put 6 / 10 because:
- The origin is not known.
- This is the average quality We can see good glue on the frets, there's black tape around the microphone for all the hidden son

/ / On thomman when you look in 3D do not hesitate to clear your screen when you watch the tape you will see micro \ \

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?

The handle is rather pleasant it is easy to make slides, although when you sweat, it sticks a bit and then it's more dificil.

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

Access to the last fret is easy although it has had difficulty accessing the box 21-22.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

The weight is appropriate around 2kg pensse I am not a balance when it is attached by the strap the guitar is held perpendicular to you.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...

Yes we get a decent sound very very my style of music is pop-rock-punk bands my:
- Red hot chili pepers
- Nirvana
- The Offspring
- AC / DC
And I get to play it very well but it takes a Nirvana pédalle effect.
I recommend a 20 watt amp because I use a 40 watts and 30 watts no use to me.

Why this note?

I put 9 / 10 because it perfectly matches my expectations.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?

Rock = 7 / 10
Pop = 8 / 10
Red hot style (punk funk) = 9 / 10
Punk (with effect pedalle) = 7 / 10

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I use a 40 watt amp harley benton + 1 pedalle effect behinrider

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

We can get any kind of sound but rather is the predominant normal .. I do not know how to describe

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

I hate the sound that I call "Cream Pie" is a hyper his grave as if we ate a pie and we talk at once!
And his favorite is the gain cranked Overdrice is, the effect swollen and pedalle PUNK NOT DEAD!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

I use it for one week now
- What is so special that you like most and least?

Small detail but nothing very serious.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I try an imitation Fender but I did not like her.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Extraordinary € 88 for a guitar with his normally you the ropes and the bridge.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I pensse not, because with the experience I had more money I would buy a guitar better quality but I took the same amp.
CONCLUSION:

If you're new and you also all guitar forum you are told harley benton you off his guitar and it's still good people who do not know anything!
We can not compare Carrefour Lidl (lidl harley benton =) I'm sure if you are new harley benton suits you, even if one of the guitar pro tells you otherwise

SG guitar factory in Asia.
22 Frets, two microphones double mdiocre quality, everything is wound with tape, we see the son dpasss ...
2 knobs: Volume 1 and Ring 1.
Channel quite friendly, hand glides well.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite enjoyable, as mentioned above the hand glides well.
Access in acute is correct.
The guitar is a bit heavy, the head looks very down, we must hold it to play, it's not enjoyable trs.
I played on a 20 amp HB Watts, silent sound pretty clean.

I speak imperfect because this guitar m "has been a year ... But I put it in a bag, I took care of it. But it does not work anymore, probably the microphones that made me.

SOUNDS

It suited my style of music that is plutt grunge and rock of all kinds, sometimes metal.
I played with a Harley Benton Amp 20 Watts and a multi-effects pedals zoom.
The sound taient correct.

OVERALL OPINION

I had for a year, but since the quality silent trs my bad, well she gave up.
I liked the handle.
I did not like its weight and quality of manufacturing more than mdiocre. ^ ^
Quality price ratio as given honnte it cost me 80.
With the exprience? I put my 80 in effect pedals. ^ ^

Everything has already been mentioned
information is also available on the site thomann
and at the same time is not the most important ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super comfortable grip immediate
access to the treble is normal for a SG
it is a little heavy but nothing exaggerated
we obtain very easily after a good sound to each free to make its own settings but to give you an idea it was given when I received!

SOUNDS

It is suitable for many playing style a little bit of everything but mostly pop / rock
I play on a 20W amp HB
125 euros a guitar + amp the sound is certainly not that of a Gibson but it makes sense
high-pitched sounds are excellent and it quickly becomes serious rough but not for testing other amps I think it is more of a guitar amp with a small gain because it gives nickel!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 15 days
what impressed me most when I received it a look!
it is much more beautiful in person than on pictures
we almost take for angus young!
Then again the build quality for the price can not be beat!
for trying a ibanez jumpstar a 250 euros before you order it and it is incomparable. I have ten times more fun to play on the HB and yet I love to use a daily Ibanez Pf60S.
To summarize a quality / price ratio unheard!
a budget equal and even slightly superior impossible to beat
when you see the amount of so-called "pro" who criticizes this brand on the forums, friends you can go for beginners eyes closed.
If it again, I do it again this choice rather than a double!

See below for terms of features.

I want to say that all the defects I will list over that comment, are in no way blame.
For 85 € I will not allow myself to some criticism that it is ...

So I got the beast this morning, immediately unpacked, inspected immediately!

The failures are numerous:

- The mechanics do not take up and are not aligned, I immediately had a stroke screwdriver and 10mm wrench!
There are small cracks on the head, below the 2 mechanical washers home.
The lifts are not oil baths in the light of the first test (it will bring out the Hulk in you, if you place it in big anchors)

- The hardware is not very heavy and looks very fragile

- The finishes (although this guitar, I do not know if we can call finishes) are virtually nonexistent ... ...
There are places that are painted, others not; ditto for the varnish, which, in this place is so that it forms bumps.
There are jets of white paintings spread over the entire guitar, including neck (it should be the worker next door who was a Start!), Micro-scratches and splinters everywhere

- The housing nut is poorly dug, it will not fit properly in it, there is no glue at this location

- The holes for the key markers are irregular and a diameter greater than the benchmark key itself, so we have a space between the hole and the mark

- The key seems to have undergone any treatment is really a rough wooden board under the fingers

I have not checked the mail (as long as it works ... touch wood ... or the key of this guitar!).


UTILIZATION

The handle is quite comfortable to hold in hand, access to acute is relatively easy.
The action is basic and extremely high (80 mm at the 12th fret), but a few laps later allen key, you reach for something a little more drinkable.
It is when one focuses on the key as it goes bad ... as explained above, I've never had an unpleasant sensation on a guitar.
When you bend the rope literally scrape the wood to such a degree that I almost came to tell me that if it continues like this, I would have a handle scaloppé a few times (I exaggerate only, I saw dust on the fingers ...)

SOUNDS

It's a little surprise of this instrument, despite the physical and technical scrap more than was here a sound that n is not gross., well obviously that's not the sound of an SG, we should not kid ourselves either, but it sounds appropriately.
The pots are doing their job and really change the sound (the guitar I started with a first prize that day Jackson could not be said ...).
She does not agree very well, but I've seen worse, and then, I have not taken time to adjust the harmonics ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've bought only one purpose: to have an extra guitar tunings for exotic wholesale nag (including myself in my spare time)!
I am a teacher and has 3 guitars, 2 with Floyd, it was a nightmare when he had to disagree for a course and re-tuning as standard time according ... impossible to have held agree suitable ...
I am more than fulfilled, I save time, my favorite guitars is quietly granted as standard, and I use the Harley more than point to the use of its own now!
We'll see how it will stand the time, but I am under no illusion too, at that price ...

I would not advise in any case this guitar for a beginner (the goal of the maneuver is to make him love the instrument, not the trauma), as add a little more to its base budget in order to obtain a product that takes actually the road (especially the finish, the big black spot on this guitar).

In conclusion, it has for its 85 € and that's it.
