I'm a child of the 70's, and LedZep has always been my number one band. As a guitarist/singer in cover bands throughout the 80's/90's, I always secretly lusted after Page's 6/12 doubleneck, but even the Epi was way out of my ability to buy. From watching numerous Youtube reviews of the Harley Benton DC 6/12 doubleneck, I decided on impulse to order and pay for it with last year's tax refund. All I can say is...WOW!!! It arrived fast, and when I took it out of its packing carton, I was blown away by the hardshell HB CASE immediately (that alone is almost the price of the name-brand axe's cases). I opened it, and just gazed on it as it stood inclined in its case, letting it acclimate as the temp outside was still a bit chilly. I let it sit for about a week, as I had little time to devote to tuning it up/checking it out in-depth. When I committed to it, I will say that the weight was pretty much what I expected, but I was amazed at how good it felt sitting on my lap. I used a chromatic tuner, and it took only maybe five minutes to get it right. Immediately, I began to play the chords to the "universally-forbidden song in guitar shops", and I actually got emotional...the intonation/action was SPOT-ON, out of the case! What a beautiful, chiming tone the Roswell p'ups provide, playability is an absolute joy, and the fit/finish is nothing short of amazing...at this price, what a fantastic value - Harley Benton hit this one out of the park!
