Harley Benton ST-Modern Plus Just tested/ Compare it (almost) quite near to Charvel, FGN Bundary or even EVH, even Schecter in terms of quality !
The neck!to be honest is pretty similar to my Charvel DK22 which have 95% perfect rounded frets edges,
This baby has 100 % perfect rounded frets edges! Extra fast and smooth as smooth ca be!
Pickups are very good!well, the word good is too weak! Fabulous is the right word!
I would not swap to any Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan!
As single coil or humbucker! Tesla all the way !
The Tremolo is incredibly nice, I have always neglected all tremolo on my guitars, it was a mistake, this one is really something else, anyway if you don't enjoy just sale it and put another one, because returning this guitar would be simply stupid for any good guitarist with a minimum of skill to adjust his guitar and playing, because this neck and those pickups are definitively absolute highlight!!!.
The neck is for me more a C shape, trust me it's like a Charvel DK ,but the one from HB is even better in my case! INSANELY Good, smooth and Fast!
Playing chords or shredding are both a joy!
Trust me, god knows how much I love Schecter, but I prefer the neck better from This HB Modern than the Schecter Nick Johnston that I sold last year.... insanely good guitar !
Ultimate update! the tremolo is really good,but for heavy rock shred palm muting a real probleme! Thomann please do the same guitar with a normal cheap Tremolo!!!please
