Harley Benton S-620 TB Rock Series

Pokud chcete kytaru s dvojzvratem tomuto se vyvarujte. Hromada lidí psala, že se tremolo vrací do původní polohy.
Toto psali lidi, co tomu očividně nerozumí a jsou nadšení začátečníci. V žádném případě se zpátky nevrací, takže když zatáhnu směrem ke strunám, tak musím pak zase tremolem škubnout na druhou stranu aby se vrátilo do původní polohy (kytara byla seřizována v hudebninách)
Ten plastový vrůt do kterého se montuje páka je taky nahovno, jelikož se to strašně vyklá a když to zezadu utáhnete, tak to stejně po chvíli povolí. Takže sama ta páka se strašně vyklá. Dohmat je taky katastrofa pán v hudebninách se snažil to aspon trochu obrousit aby byl dohmat lepší, ale i tak na prvním pražci žádná sláva.
Jediné co je na této kytaře fajn je design a 24 pražců.
Ten jejich "floyd rose" není samozřejmě originál jelikož takový stojí samotný minimálně 7 000 Kč tedy 300 eur.
Pokud tedy chcete kytaru s dvojzvratným tremolem smiřte se s tím, že zaplatíte minimálně 12 tisíc pokud chcete nějakou kvalitu a něco, co se bude vracet do původní polohy. Nebo kupte toto, ale počítejte s tím, že do toho ještě minimálně 4 litry vrazíte aby to bylo něco slušného. I pán v hudebninách říkal, že se to do původní polohy vracet nebude, jelikož je to laciná kytara s čimž jsem počítal.
Já si jí koupil hlavně protože jsem chtěl kytaru s 24 pražci a v česku nejsou momentálně dostupné.
Obchodu ale chválím zabalení, to bylo špičkové a obával jsem se zbytečně.
Doporučuji vám ale během koupi do poznámky u objednávky napsat, že chcete doručení přes DHL a ne UPS. V ČR to pak převezme česká pošta. Věřte mi, UPS bylo opravdu utrpení.

I got this a second guitar. The moment i saw the floyd rose i was hooked and wanted the guitar.

First off out of the box it wasn't set-up too well. It was in tune and worked well for 10 minutes, but very quickly went out of tune. The asthetic of the guitar was perfect, however the bridge was completely slanted toward the higher strings. After an afternoon of tinkering and tweaking i got a great setup. I stretched the strings, adjusted the bridge and locked the strings in nice and tight. NOTE: The trussrod, action and intonation was all pretty much perfect and needed no adjustments

After i setup the guitar it plays like a dream, can take extreme whammy stuff and holds tune very nicely. You can do divebombs, flutter effects, bends you name it and it holds tune nicely. NOTE: please check the nut and the saddles, mine was a bit loose.

all in all, if you don't mind setting up your guitar and want a floyd rose go for it.


UPDATE: I've owned the guitar for about four months as of writing this. It is an absolute bliss to play. It sounds wonderful and is really comfortable.
That being said the whole floyd rose is a death trap. The whammy can take a bit of abuse before going wildly out of tune. A few divebombs are alright, but be careful as you can mess the tuning very quickly. My low E went from E to C. I've also noticed that the socket for the whammy bar is low quality. If you turn the whammy bar counter clockwise you can unscrew the whole socket. I had to put a pen spring in the socket along with the whammy bar to keep the bar stiff enough to stay in one position and not loosen the whole socket. Furthermore the saddles are a nightmare, When changing strings it turned out the threads were stripped and i needed a replacement saddle. The same thing has happened again and I am currently needing a new one. The parts are cheap and very poorly made.

The guitar is great once it's up and running, but getting to that stage is hell.

Deciding in between the red on and the blue one, i did the right choice and took this one.
The translucid blue with the gold details its just an eye candy.

Playability:
The neck feel fast. Im not a fast player, but I can see how comfortable it can be it you are a shreeder. Quite a thin feeling in the neck, yet very solid feel.

Sounds:
Clean sounds are rich. I have this guitar on B standar and the lows are delicious. The sustain its impresively "long" compared to other guitars this price range.
Distortions feels just perfect. It chugs and the dinamics that this pickups offer its just surprisingly good!

Floyd Rose can be tricky if you've never had one to intonate and tune, but it becomes a "pro" instead of a "con" after you learn how to use fully and adjust one.
Takes time but it worth it.
Otherhand you could just block the floyd rose and not think about it with a piece of wook in between the block and the guitar cavity and you problem will be solved.

The only "neg feedback" I could give its that the toggle switch feels a bit "cheap" as it wobbles a bit, but this becomes irrelevant at this price range and the fact that it does work correctly without extra sounds or interference makes it worth the price. YOu could also change it and it wont take you more than 10 minutes and medium to low soldering skills.

TLDR:
- Fast neck
- BEAUTIFUL GUITAR TO LOOK AT.
- Sounds fantastic for rock and i can testify that for metal also.
- Clean tones are rich in low and mid frequencies.
- Floyd Rose (Licenced) bridge advantage
- THE PRICE of this instrument its just too good to let it pass if you are thinking on getting one.

Recommended.
