Harley Benton ST-20 BK Standard Series

I bought it knowing a strat doesn't really fit my playing style, figuring it would be a nice room plant if it was a miss.

Boy was I wrong! It doesn't feel like a Fender player, not by a longshot, but at €80 vs €700 it would be unjust to put them side by side.

I personally don't use the Floyd Rose, so I can't judge the full tuning stability, but if you leave it hanging it stays in tune perfectly fine.

The fit and finish is hit and miss, but nothing you'd see standing more than a feet away. The satin neck feels great and the frets edges have been sanded at least to an extend where they won't hurt you while playing. All it needed out of the box was a tune-up and it was good to go.

For €80 it is a fantastic beginner guitar, a good entry point that won't hold you back until you are ready to pull the trigger on a mid-ranger.
