Comment:

Excellent guitar. So excited to be among the first to get this one. Was amazed that after 13 day journey from Germany to US, the guitar was in perfect tune. Needed to adjust string height and neck, now is so sweet to play. I only wished the strap connection was in the normal place. A floyd rose and roasted maple neck would make it more expensive but would be well worth it. Also surprised there was no split coil on the push/pull.
Overall this is a suburb guitar for the price and my Harley Benton collection keeps growing because of the value. Thank You for providing professional grade features in well made guitars for the rest of us. I can afford the high dollar guitars, but why pay the outrageous prices from the big name makers?
Update: Had to repair input jack, connector would not stay plugged in. Finish of guitar under close inspection is not great. But I still love it and would like to get another one from a newer batch to see if they have improved after increasing production.

Comment:

I bought the Amarok for 2 reasons, it has really impressibe specs and it looks very nice, at least in picture.
the one I get is 100% on the feature side, it has all and sounds and plays good but it has 2 problems: it does not match the picture (not even near to be flamed, maybe look painted, but not flamed) and the pick up selector is the chepest one I had ever seen, it vitrabrate in a irritating manner.
