Sweet guitar. Deep body. Do you know what year it was made.?? I think you'll find the tone to be very different than most. In a real good way. My Gretsch with Filter Tron pickups can sound like a quality Gibson, to me. Warm humbucking tone.

Have fun with that guitar. Nice post.

That's a great looking guitar!

2019 model I believe.

Needs a nice tube amp...

Congrats! I've never played a Harley Benton before but I've read great reviews. I'd like to pull the trigger and order a solid body one someday.

Are you located in the US? If so, how long did it take to ship from Thomann?

Hi Dru. I have a few cheap Harley's and they are all pretty good to my ears and play well. I'm in the US and it takes about a week and a half to two weeks to get to me. Not too bad.

This isn't a Gretsch.

Right. I know that. I spoke of my Gretsch. Where did I say yours is.??

How's it sound.?? Like you said, it's a Gretsch like guitar. Pickups look Gretchy too. I bet that thing sounds great.

Yes indeed !

Amazing deal real close to the Electromatic I played at FC at a third the price!

Thanks Rob. I recall you bought a couple last year or the year before. That's a good shipping turn around time to cross the Atlantic.
