Harley Benton R-457FFB LH Roasted Multiscale

With limited options for lefties, I had been looking for a guitar as an opportunity to try something multiscale, and none of the other brands had anything available under €1000 euros, easy. Thus, was this the natural choice to dip my toes in the waters. As the price is so reasonable, I set my expectations well below average, but the moment I got my hands on the guitar, I felt silly for expecting so little; the roasted maple neck feels amazing, the action/intonation was perfect, the finish was almost perfect (found a few spots of leftover dried glue, but this was so minor, I barely noticed it initially), the colour is GORGEOUS in person, and the pickups were quite balanced and reasonable for the price.

The tuning stability was a little shaky, but tuning still held steady for the duration of 2-3 songs (playing in Drop A). I have replaced the stock machineheads with Thomann/HB's own locking tuners, and this is no longer an issue.

All in all, a stupidly fantastic buy for the price. Now, can HB please start doing more extended range/multiscale guitars for lefties, especially of the headless variety? :) Thank you, please!
