Any guitar under $700 with any feature you'd expect to be standard in medium to high end guitars. If a brand new guitar has a floyd rose but is $300, it won't hold tuning, and the screws will strip easily.
Not saying expensive guitars are good by default, but there's very little room for innovation in the guitar world, and corner cutting will happen in cheaper guitars.
This guy guitars
Harley Benton Fusion 3 owner hereβ¦ β¬450. Nothing at all wrong with this thing.
What you're saying was true 10 years ago but musical instruments have been improving in quality a lot recently.
Hm, yeah that might be the case. Last guitar with a FR I bought was well over 10y ago.
I have had two Harley Benton bass guitars, a 5 string fretless, and a 5 string PJ combo, and they both shit the bed and ceased to work in under a year of light usage, both times it was cheap electronics (the pickups).
That being said I have many friends with Harley Benton instruments and amps and they all work fine still, I just got unlucky. Of course, cheap parts are cheap parts and will be more liable to fail than better ones. It is still a lot better than it used to be.
