This is my third Harley Benton guitar in two years and just like the first two, the frets need no work, the nut is cut perfectly, the tuners are decent, the finish is flawless and it's ready to tune and play right out of the box. The only changes I made was to put on my favorite strings and add a dogear P90 shim under the pickup to get it a little closer to the strings. Weight is a comfortable 7lbs, 5 oz ( 3.4 kg).
