Hi everyone,
I was looking at the Harley Benton Custom Line Manhattan-Standard and am very tempted. I searched this forum for any reviews but it didn't get many independant mentions. I have seen the Youtube vids and like the look/sound of it, (although my playing is definitely nowhere near as good as Jean-Luc Lachenaud). I was wondering if anyone owns, or has owned, this guitar and would like to share their experiences?
I'm trying to stock up on guitars before Brexit strikes. I recently bought a SC-550 to add to my other HB's, and I thought there is room in my house for just one more guitar.
Mike

Don't be afraid the Brexit, you will be very happy people again! Don't worry - I'm not afraid and the world will not end. Others seem to be very afraid though!

I'm just going to say one thing; Without EU , Sweden Forestry was about to cut ALL their old forests!!! Thanks to a few Swedes that got support from EU they saved the last 3% of old forests! There is so much more EU wants to STOP like for example Roundup, Neonicotinoid pesticides etc that British capitalist politicians are not happy about! Let's mention the fracking too shall we Capitalists like Trump and his kind (who was the first to visit Trump after the election? ) don't want someone stopping their cash flow even if that means killing off the very biodiversity we all depend on! Wall Street is your true president folks if you follow capitalist politics. Sure you can always try to ignore the facts and enjoy yourself in Mallorca instead (or else) Who cares about 250 solitary bee species (out of 500) that are extinct in EU alone! We should wipe the rest too and use the robot bees from Harvard Uni instead !

EU is not perfect! We need it to be more transparent, lobbying is an issue but will also be an issue in Brexit UK don't be fooled!
Fact is that people have little compassion for others they don't know aboutor they don't meet often in their daily lives. Profit comes first then maybe nature/3rd world countries.
We are not ready to give up our numerous guitars so another person elsewhere could have only one!
We (consumers) dictate this trend in our world! We want more not less hence others must suffer!
Ah I should stop with this very reason I left Facebook! These discussions lead to nothing but stress.
Back to music! We can keep singing while the Titanic sinks!

Speaking of the Titantic - only Belfast could make a tourist attraction out of an unsinkable boat that sank...

It's funny how a question about a guitar can escalate into saving the Swedish forests, the EU, Trump, the downside of capitalism and the Titanic. Although no one has mentioned 'The War' yet. But please don't mention 'The War' .... :-)

Ah yes ... usually only mentioned for about 2 minutes on daily news then followed by the sports news and topped by weather news so we all have time to forget it immediately and go back to the usual stuff like ... eating pop corn and watching entertaining shows from our (IKEA) sofa!
