Harley Benton HB-35 Plus Lemon Drop

[ZackyDog]

I have no affiliation with Harley Benton.

What a beautiful lemon drop finish. This guitar has coil splitting too with alnico V magnets. Seems like a great deal for $225+ shipping from Germany/Thomann.

Sure Harley-Benton are real bargain guitars ... That said, It's important to consider that some of them are in need of modifications or adjustments to play flawlessly.
But speaking personally, I never had any guitar able to play flawlessly at delivery - no matter the brand or the price .

My latest - brand new at a mere 249 euros from thomann.de, free shipping. I added the tremolo, a roller bridge, a little The Ventures engraved badge at the headstock , and that's it :



Once modded and setuped, they play as well as any other brand of guitars - I have three others to attest it :



But it's me, OK ?

A+!

Is that a 335 or 339 body size? I assume 335, given the model number, but you know what they say about assuming ….

Music Radar says it is 8 lbs., which puts it on par with an ES335; ES339s are a little over 6 lbs..
