Great value for the money, good allround guitar that can handle most genres.
It came with the new jatoba fretboard which is lighter in color than the rosewood fretboard it had previously. The fretmarkers are now regular dots, which is nice, and which I prefer, compared to the earlier morning star.
The set up was ok, but it had a high string action, which needed to be lowered, and after that it played just fine.
Tuners, are good, and the guitar is also very light, and comfortable, and the veneer is beautiful.
The pickups sound great, just do a search for "Harley Benton cst-24hb, review, (demo, unboxing) greveost" on youtube and you will hear what it sounds like.
