Harley Benton ST-62 VW Vintage Series

I already bought a Harley Benton TE-70RW some months back and it was a beauty and for the price a super guitar. I wanted to try a HB strat model also and went for this one. When it arrived I was a bit diveded because it looked good ,but the strings on the guitar was rusty and the layer of protective plastik on the scratchplate surely showed scratches of having beeing played. Fretboard was so dry that it looked like it would start to crack soon. . after removing the plastic layer and applying some oil to the fretboard, everything look brand new again, and I decided to just change the strings. I removed the old strings and started restringing it.... after changing the first 2 strings I suddenly noticed the Tuners was rattling and I discovered that 2 screws were loose and that you couldnt tighten them cause the holes were broken (Screw just keep turning). the rattling didnt stop until all strings were on.....
a few string height adjustments was also needed

Finally I could test the guitar....and I must admit I love it....I love the work they did on the neck.

This is dirt cheap for a guitar this good BUT I am a bit sad I was send a used, partly broken, dried out, rusty stringed guitar. but hey even then it was still worth it. (But Thomann Quality control was a bit disappointing this time I must say)
