Lp 59DC types: Antoria v Harley Benton

Recommended Posts

I've always wanted a basic, single p90 type in my arsenal, and now I'm  selling my surplus I should have a bit of cash to spare. Not interested in the Gibsons; somehow it seems counterintuitive to spend that money on such a simple guitar. I was keen on one of those Antoriast can be had for £325 new, all Wilkinson hardware. Now I see Thoman do one in their Harley Benton line for £185... No chance to try either, so anyone got any experience of the HB? Rationally I expect the Antoria to be the superior one, but it's enough of a price difference that, well... we all like to spend less, don't we?

 

Obvs whichever I buy will get a tortoise guard in short order....

The Epi isn't available left handed, tho, so it's out of the running for me.

Interesting they changed the Epi headstock, though why they don't just use the same one as the Gibbys, I'll never know. I mean, if you had the advantage of that option, yet instead you went with a shape farther from the original than many copies??
