JSON Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm thinking of buying a Harley Benton 7 string guitar. At first I wanted a Ibanez Universe but that was too expensive. Is Harley Benton a good guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I've been dying to get one for ages. For ?166, you really can't go wrong I think. I got the Harley Benton 80R amp over christmas and it's bloody nice. Better than the Marshall and Fenders amps we have in the house imo. And I've been thinking of getting it, stripping all the hard ware, cutting the body in half and turning it into a neck through, upgrading the hardware over years as money permits.

feylya Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 If ya do, let me know what you think of it. Where are you ordering it from just out of interest? And how much would it set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSON Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah I will.. I'm buying the guitar from a private person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it hard to turn a bolt on to a neck through(spelling someone?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I bet it is plywood for that price....and cheap tuners....and a PU which makes the low B string unneccessary because it sonuds so muddy that you cannot distinguish different notes. Atleast that are the expiriences I made with cheap 7-strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
