The best guitar is the one you love to play. Quality has diminishing returns after a certain point and you’re just paying for a brand.
My first guitar was $25 from a yard sale. I had it for 8 years. If you like it, that's all that counts!
Also, this guy could have any guitar he wanted and he showed us all there's nothing wrong with Harley Benton

Scott Poley rocking an HB is part of what convinced me to pull the trigger. I love in North America so shipping the guitar from Germany cost a pretty penny, still a wicked deal for the quality though.
Lovely color! Love the darker neck with the light body.
Thanks! I'm a sucker for roasted maple.
I own a $3000 US Guild Jumbo, a $4000 handmade acoustic from a local luthier, and yet I still always, always come back to my baby, a maybe $150-value laminate-top Sigma DM-2 from 1982.
I have over eighty guitars, and weirdly, one of the ones I pick up most often is a Harley Benton copy of a PRS Custom 24. Stock pickups and everything, and it sounds and feels great. You can get great sound and feel with guitars in any price range.
Wait... 80??? I thought I was bad with 14!
Is that a Fusion? They're great guitars. I have a Fusion III HSH that I picked up for a song on Black Friday last year. I've been considering the 25th anniversary model.
I've owned and played several other Suhr... homages (ahem) and my Harley Benton compares favorably to all of them, despite being a fraction of the price.
Yep! It's a Fusion-III HSS.
Looks awesome! Love the matching headstock and fingerboard
Don't ever think that just because a guitar is "inexpensive" it makes it "cheap". I have a Parker Fly, a SG special that I swapped in EMG pickups and a standard Strat, but somehow I always gravitate to my "inexpensive" Ibanez RG (cant recall the submodel at the moment, im at work). Partially because I'm terrified of hurting my Parker 🤣
As long as you play it and it makes you happy, it's the best guitar in the world. Who cares what the snobs say??!?!
