I don't like the way the knobs are arranged, it looks like someone bumped into the CNC machine, which quickly finished the knobs fuming and then ran off to pound them.

worth checking out reviews although youtube and forums tend to be slow keeping up, particularly as they've really only started raising their game and expanding their product lines fairly recently. i quite like the idea of getting some sort of superstrat or shredder from them for that price.
on the whole they seem to be very good for the money. but for a £100 guitar that benchmark is low. for setup and modding wizards like us we could probably iron out in any kinks quite easily bringing it up to a decent standard if it's a bit of a mutt

They're probably somewhat decent given that most of what you pay for with an Epiphone is licensing. Most MIC $150-$350 off-brand Gibson style guitars (Jay Turser, Vintage, etc) easily compete with $350-$750 Epiphones.

Thanks! According to the Thomann website Harley Benton guitars are manufactured by Saien which is a Korean company with factories in South Korea and China. Saien also makes guitars for for other companies like Epiphone,Peavey and Ibanez(and Jay Turser,I guess).George wrote:very keen eye there westy. in that case, if they're jay turser thats phenomenal value
