Description
The Harley Benton MS-60LH Vintage Series is a nod to classic rock and roll aesthetics, crafted specifically for left-handed musicians who crave both style and substance. This solid body electric guitar combines vintage charm with modern playability, making it an ideal choice for players seeking to capture iconic tones without breaking the bank.
Constructed with a basswood body, the MS-60LH strikes a perfect balance between durability and tonal warmth. The bolt-on maple neck and amaranth fretboard offer a smooth playing experience, while the 22 frets and dot inlays provide an intuitive navigation of the fretboard.

Great affordable (and LEFTY!) mustang clone!
First and foremost, I want to say how awesome Harley Benton is for offering an affordable left-handed mustang copy. to my knowledge, no other company does, and I have always wanted one. into the review!
The good:
The guitar feels very sturdy. The tuners feel very nice and do their job well. I'd say they're better than tuners you get on Squiers. Though I will be swapping them for locking tuners, just personal preference. I especially like the feel of the neck. It has a smooth satin feel instead of the gloss finish like many other guitars. The neck has a thiner profile, not chunky like a strat, but not really thin like an Ibanez either; I'd say a thin C-shape. It's a plus for me as I don't care for a chunky neck. The fretboard radius feels flatter like a 12" instead of Fender's 9.5". I like it more, feels more comfortable playing scales and chord shapes for me. The vibrato system works quite well. Obviously not built for dive-bombs. Just a nice flutter and it stays in tune nicely.
The bad:
I'm not too keen on the stock pickups. They are a little weak sounding, and they only have an on-off, with no out-of-phase sound. so I swapped them for the duncan designed vm Squier Mustang picks, as I quite like them; as well as installing the 3-way slider switches. The only other thing I think they should have done was use roller saddles on the bridge. TOM bridges have sharp knife-life edges and are not the ideal saddle to use for a guitar with a vibrato system.
Final thoughts:
For its price point you get a really good quality guitar, as well as a great mod platform. I would certainly recommend this guitar to anyone wanting an affordable mustang-like guitar.
