Harley Benton SC-Custom III Active VBK

The overall finish is good but some golden parts will vanish soon.
IMHO the body is too big causing an unuseful increase in weight.
The keyboard with 24 stainless steel frets is good and appropriately made for this range of guitars, it's a great feature and the reason of my choice.
The adjustments are bad and in particular the very most annoying is about the nut:
its slots are totally unadjusted, too shallow, with 1st fret string height visibly too much high (1st case in my life), they are so shallow that D and G strings barely stay in place: all this is not acceptable !!!
Even half price Epiphones have perfectly adjusted nut for a standard use.
In addition bridge pickup is vertically about 1.5-2mm misaligned with strings.

The guitar looks and sounds good. I’ve nothing to complain about. Finish is good, tuning keys are smooth and tuning stability is fine. Frets are well levelled with smooth edges. Neck size is good and it is comfortable to play. Electronics is good, no scratches or noise. Pickups are very good almost there with the more famous ones.
Stock setup was on the higher side, just lowered the strings no need to touch the truss rod. I’m having great fun with this guitar.
I think really it doesn’t need any upgrade. It’s very good as it is. May be only thing I’d change is the white nut for a black one :-P
