A good first impression can work wonders

Harley Benton CST-24T electric guitar with arched maple top and Roasted Jatoba fretboard

It is hard to say for certain just how much a player has to spend in order to get their hands on a really good guitar - after all, it always depends on their personal expectations. One thing that is certain, however, is that the quality of the affordable instruments coming out of the Far East is now such that musicians now get significantly more for their money than in decades past. The price-performance ratio offered by the Harley Benton CST-24T (shown here in its Ocean Flame finish) is a prime example: Just 30 years ago, players would have had to spend much more and content themselves with a far inferior instrument, so those just starting out on the guitar today can look forward to doing so on a solid, high-quality instrument - all the more so since their budget can now stretch to a suitable practice amplifier and other accessories like a gig bag, spare strings, and more.

Electric guitar Harley Benton CST-24T with set-in Meranti neck

A modern classic

It is obvious where the Harley Benton CST-24T takes its stylistic cues from, but this guitar still exudes a character of its own. The CST-24T features a meranti body with an arched maple top and flamed maple veneer together with a meranti neck and a fingerboard made from rosewood. The latter boasts a full 24 medium stainless steel frets and white dot inlays, and both the fingerboard and the front edge of the body are adorned with cream-coloured binding that matches the matching pickup rings perfectly. Harley Benton has not cut any corners in terms of hardware and electronics either, which is reflected in the CST-24T's Wilkinson WVPC vibrato system and Roswell HAF AlNiCo-5 open-coil humbucking pickups, which are governed by a three-way toggle switch, master volume control, and master tone control (which also includes a push-pull function for coil splitting).

Beauty meets practicality

It has to be admitted that guitarists have two main things in mind when they look for a new instrument, and the first of these is definitely the way it looks. The Harley Benton CST-24T thoroughly delivers the goods here, and if instruments from Harley Benton were not already renowned for their incredible price-performance ratio, the wealth of features that this guitar brings with it despite the budget-friendly price could surely set a new record in terms of value for money. The second thing guitarists look for is a combination of playing comfort and a good amplified sound. Needless to say, the Harley Benton CST-24T does not fall short here in any way, and the guitar's excellent sound and impressive versatility make it an ideal instrument for starting out and playing those first concerts.

For full-on Rock and much more

When looking at the Harley Benton CST-24T's specs, design, and features, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that this is a guitar built purely for Rock music. But the limits to what this guitar can do are really only defined by the player: While packing plenty of power and punch, the two humbucking pickups also possess excellent dynamics and, thanks to the coil split function and the highly effective volume and tone controls, will also deliver a diverse palette of different tones to suit a range of musical styles. Fans of more progressive genres will also appreciate the high-quality vibrato system which, together with the guitar's graphite nut and die-cast DLX machine heads, allows expressive vibrato effects while ensuring reliable tuning stability.

Goed
Andries009 10.02.2021
goed voor de prijs, gebruik hem om af en toe te spelen. Afwerking was bijna perfect, alleen de verf had nog iets beter gekund. Geluid is precies zoals verwacht en zeer goed voor de prijs.

Geweldige Gitaar!
Jelsky 07.04.2020
Deze gitaar is nu bijna 2 jaar in mijn bezit, sinds dien heb ik nog geen min punten gevonden of onderhoudspunten. Zelf heb ik wel lockingtuners erop gezet om de tuningstabiliteit te verbeteren. Kortom een PRS copy voor dit geld

Beautiful with minor imperfections / Piękna z drobnymi niedoskonałościami
Mariuszo 02.12.2021
I've watched 3 guitars so I have a benchmark. The violin maker who checked the guitar, when he hear how much it cost, declared that he would buy the same one.

Any reservations can be made to the small details of the guitar neck. The frets of the guitar were stained with glue, the fingerboard was scratched unevenly in places, in one of the guitars the wood of the fingerboard was of worse quality, it had more small gaps. I was worried that the flames pattern would not be too pronounced as I saw a few guitars on Youtube and they were almost smooth. But all three examples I compared had a beautiful, deep pattern.

The sound is satisfactory, of course the disconnected coils do not sound like the Stratocaster singles, but the humbuckers sound almost identical to the PRS Custom SE 24/08. Some people think that even in PRS made in Indonesia you have to change pickups to made in USA and then this guitar becomes full value. I am going to replace the pickups with the CST-24T, so it will eventually be cheaper, and the final visual and sound effect will be at a high level.

The only thing I'm worried about is that over time, the mechanical components on the Harley Benton may wear out faster, the neck may warp, etc.

Added on 08-08-2023:
I gave it to adjust the neck, because it was getting harder and harder. When tightening the screw, the fingerboard at the headstock began to bulge. It looks like the rod is too shallow. I can play, but I won't turn up the neck any more. Good thing for me it's just a backup guitar that I've never used on stage :-)

----- PO POLSKU -----
Oglądałem 3 gitary, więc mam punkt odniesienia. Lutnik, który sprawdzał gitarę, gdy dowiedział się ile kosztowała, zadeklarował, że kupi sobie taką samą.

Ewentualne zastrzeżenia można mieć do drobnych szczegółów wykończenia gryfu gitary. Progi gitary były zabrudzone klejem, podstrunnica miejscami nierówno przytarta, w jednej z gitar drewno podstrunnicy było gorszej jakości, miało więcej drobnych szparek. Obawiałem się, że wzór flames nie bedzie zbyt wyraźny, bo na Youtube widziałem kilka gitar i były niemal gładkie. Ale wszystkie trzy egzemplarze, które porównywałem, miały piękny, głęboki wzór.

Dźwięk jest zadowalający, oczywiście rozłączone cewki nie grają tak jak singe Stratocastera, ale humbuckery brzmią niemal identycznie jak PRS Custom SE 24/08. Niektórzy uważają, że nawet w PRS made in Indonesia trzeba zmienić pickupy na made in USA i wtedy ta gitara staje się pełnowartościowa. Ja zamierzam wymienic pickupy w CST-24T, ostatecznie bedzie więc taniej, a końcowy efekt wizualny i brzmieniowy na wysokim poziomie.

Jedyne czego się obawiam, to tego, że wraz z upływem czasu osprzęt mechaniczny w Harley Benton może się szybciej zużyć, gryf zwichrować itp. Ale dzisiaj jestem bardzo zadowolony z zakupu.

Dodane 08-08-2023:
Oddałem ją do regulacji gryfu, gdyż stawała się co raz twardsza. Przy dokręcaniu śruby podstrunnica przy główce zaczęła się wybrzuszać. Wygląda na to, że pręt znajduje się zbyt płytko. Grać się da, ale dalej już gryfu nie podkręcę. Dobrze, że dla mnie to tylko gitara zapasowa, której nigdy nie użyłem na scenie :-)

2nd Harley Benton Guitar (best one yet)!
Ed Bray 21.04.2018
My main guitar when gigging is a £5000 20th Anniversary PRS but when I wanted a backup guitar of the same scale length I thought I was going to get a PRS SE as it seemed to be the cheapest option, bearing in mind it was just going to sit on the stage in case I broke a string on the PRS.

After receiving my BigTone Vintage Guitar which I was very pleased with I decided to have a look at the Harley Benton PRS style selection
before I placed an order.

After doing a bit of research and watching of many youtube videos I thought I would take a punt and decided to order the CST-24T Ocean Flame, after all, if it was really rubbish (as some of the reviews stated, although the majority of the review were in favour), I could always send it back.

The delivery was up to Thomann's usual speed and 2.5 days after placing the order I was opening the box to my view my new toy.

After opening the box I was taken aback by the beauty of the guitar, I looked for the few blemishes (that were often mentioned in the reviews) in the finish, but could not find any, next, The neck felt really nice although the fretboard seemed a bit flatter than any other guitar I own. I put the tremolo bar into the socket (expecting it to be very loose and fall out, as per the reviews) and it was set up no differently from my PRS, loose enough to spin under tension but did not move on its own. The only visible issues I could find on the guitar were that the roseacre fretboard seemed very dry and the frets looked like they had a haze from polish on them. The frets ends were very smooth and seemed to be level.

Next I looked at the action which although okayish was higher than I prefer to have, so I wanted to test the electronics before making any physical adjustments to the guitar so that if it didn't work correctly I was still able to send it back. Fortunately all worked well. The bridge is a Wilkinson Tremolo and very well made, The tuners all worked well, and although I would have preferred locking tuners on a guitar with a Tremolo these seemed to do the job okay (although I will replace these later for locking types).

Firstly, I removed all the strings and set about oiling the fretboard with Lemon Oil, it took three full applications before the fretboard seemed sated and I was able to wipe off the excess. I then checked the frets with a straight edge and all seemed well. Next I installed a fresh set of Fender Stainless Steel Flatwound strings 9-42 and adjusted the action to suit my normal playing style. After letting the guitar settle down for a day I started playing it for real.

So to playing it, the guitar looks, plays and sounds fantastic. Although the pickups have a different sound to those on my PRS, it is not a bad sound, just different.

In conclusion, how does it stand up to my PRS, to be honest how could a £192 guitar stand up against a £5000 guitar? Well to be frank, it doesn't, but then is the £5000 guitar 25x better than the £192 guitar? Absolutely not, a set of new locking tuners, a change of electronics (pickups, pots, switch and output socket cost circa < £300) and the difference becomes very, very much closer.

28/04/18 I've just realised that my Ocean Flame CST-24T was made in Vietnam as opposed to China.

For the money, the one I have is incredible value, and I see another new CST-24T in Emerald Green Flame (I don't have a green guitar) on the horizon.
