It's been more than 2 months since I haven't reviewed a new guitar !
But now I'm back and I had to return with a Harley Benton !

Very good demo. But as with other demos for this range (and demos for Amarok) no one has raised the non-standard EMG Hot Retro 70 pickups. They have lost any ability to adjust pole height. I know for the price somethings have got to give, and get trimmed, but there are not many guitars at this price without pole screws. Sure, not many owners actually use them, but HB description does not say anything about it. Any views?

UPDATE: After consultation with EMG, turns out these active pickups are based on Retro Active Hot 70, but are custom made for Harley Benton by EMG and delibrately (by design request) have no screw adjustable poles. I guess they may be slightly cheapetpr. The two types are more or less equal, and are both made by EMG factories. Whatever, the reviewers of the HB guitars that use them reckon they sound very good, so no screw poles is probably no big deal.
