Harley Benton DC-Custom 612 Cherry

Ik ben heel erg blij met deze gitaar, hij ziet er heel erg goed uit en klinkt fantastisch. Een erg fijne feature is de optie om alleen het geluid van één van de twee nekken naar de versterker te laten gaan of beiden naar de versterker te laten gaan met een switch. Hierdoor kan je ervoor zorgen dat de nek waar je niet op speelt niet per ongeluk aanslaat en hoort terwijl je speelt. En als je wil wisselen tussen nekken kan je de switch in de midden stand zetten waardoor ze beiden naar de versterker gaan. Hij ziet er erg groot uit maar je kan hem gemakkelijk op je schoot zetten als je zit en je hebt dus niet per se een gitarengordel nodig om te kunnen spelen.
Je krijgt de gitaar in een prachtige koffer met een speciale vak voor kabels en andere dingen die je nodig zal hebben als je hem meeneemt naar een optreden.

Voor de lage prijs kan ik deze gitaar heel erg aanraden.

My first experience with Harley Benton, I am positively impressed. Finishing and attention to detail rivals guitars at double, triple, quadruple price point (Epiphone, Gibson, Ovation, Ibanez and Fender). Plays very nicely. Pickups really impressive. Played it with Marshall Code 100H and 412 cab. Awesome rich sound.
Good quality case. Almost as good as the Ovation case with my double neck.
Cons
- no separate vol and tone controls for 12 and 6 strings.
- a common challenge with all double necks; space tight between the two head stocks makes it difficult to use my Roadie 1 or Roadie 2 auto tuners.

I must thank all the reviews on YouTube.

22 January 2020 Update
Having played this awesome unique instrument for quite sometime, I have the following observations:
- though easy to tune, the 12 string G strings seem to be quite impossible to tune; either they are in tune when open, or at the 12 fret but not both.
- Of all the 14 guitars I own, the neck on both 12 and 6 strings easily twists, affecting the tuning - I have to be careful when playing to avoid this.
Again, excellent value for money, and one of my favorite instruments of choice

I'm a child of the 70's, and LedZep has always been my number one band. As a guitarist/singer in cover bands throughout the 80's/90's, I always secretly lusted after Page's 6/12 doubleneck, but even the Epi was way out of my ability to buy. From watching numerous Youtube reviews of the Harley Benton DC 6/12 doubleneck, I decided on impulse to order and pay for it with last year's tax refund. All I can say is...WOW!!! It arrived fast, and when I took it out of its packing carton, I was blown away by the hardshell HB CASE immediately (that alone is almost the price of the name-brand axe's cases). I opened it, and just gazed on it as it stood inclined in its case, letting it acclimate as the temp outside was still a bit chilly. I let it sit for about a week, as I had little time to devote to tuning it up/checking it out in-depth. When I committed to it, I will say that the weight was pretty much what I expected, but I was amazed at how good it felt sitting on my lap. I used a chromatic tuner, and it took only maybe five minutes to get it right. Immediately, I began to play the chords to the "universally-forbidden song in guitar shops", and I actually got emotional...the intonation/action was SPOT-ON, out of the case! What a beautiful, chiming tone the Roswell p'ups provide, playability is an absolute joy, and the fit/finish is nothing short of amazing...at this price, what a fantastic value - Harley Benton hit this one out of the park!
