Soome of you might remember AGF member "agufish"; I'm not sure if he's still active on the forum.

Well, I don't think I knew about this Harley Benton signature guitar on his name. It's not available, but it has some nice features, neck heel and 43mm nut width the most important to me.

Not my prefered color, but it's nice. I could play it, it is.

Here's the link if anybody wants to dig deeper.

And here's his own review on his updated model on his YouTube channel:

Gearlist: Fav: Gibson LP and Gibson Goldtone Amp. Other gear: Gretsch, Peavey, Taylor and more.

I finally bought my first HB a few weeks ago. It is an acoustic with mahogany back, sides and top. It was cheap and the reviews were very good. I am a sucker for all mahogany acoustics so I decided for the price it was worth a try. It is a very nice guitar but the voicing on it is not quite what I was hoping for. It reminds me a lot of my all walnut Taylor Academy. It feels stiff just like the Academy but I think it will loosen up over time and become a little more mellow. It is a decent back up to take to the gigs.
