I received mine a few days before for $1600. Now used ones are selling for over 3-4 grand. Very sad.

I normally prefer wood/sunburst or black guitars but that cherry 335 copy is pulling me in.

Yeah, nice playing. Interesting thread, something a little different in terms of model and inspiration. I've certainly learnt a few things about Prince's guitar watching the first vid. I really like the look of some of the Harley Benton stuff, but it's so affordable, I'm worried if I buy one I'll e...

I heard these were really heavy, have you found that?
Doesnt seem noticeably heavier than my strats to me.

Yeah you'd have to send a tracing of the bridge guard and get a custom one made. It's a non-standard item. In that case I'd rather stick with this. It may be ugly but it's accurate re: the "Prinz" version. I've played Strats for years and I think Strats are ugly in general. If anyone star...

Watched the first vid, good stuff! I do like this guitar, although the very first thing I'd do is chance the pickguards - that tort is horrific. You can get some printed stuff close in appearance to the proper Mad Cat leopard print, but even plain black would look better than what's on there. Maple...

Here are a couple videos from a show where I am playing the HB stock. You can see at the end of the second video how badly the stock pickups feed back.

Harley Benton TE-80 NT Videos (stock, replacement pickups)

Seems a decent number of people on this forum are interested in this guitar. I bought one and I'm a fan. You could replace a number of parts and have a quite high quality guitar (as many have done). I plan(ned) to keep mine stock, but decided to replace the pickups in order to better compare it to t...

Sounds like a deal, I thought they were closer to $2000. Pics?
The Harley Benton is $200, and it's shown in the videos above.

The Mad Cat Reissue retails for $3100. Ouch!

Sound is a little thin, I've ordered a set of BLUSA pickups for it. My tech says if I need to play it reg...

Seent dem! I have permission from the wife to buy the second one, but thought I'd check around for a used one like the first one first. You never know!
