good quality for an inexpensive guitar.
neck is smooth, no fret sprout, not going out of tune easily even after hundreds of bends, and it feels pretty well made for a guitar thats made in China. Pickguard looks and feels a bit cheap though, electronics aren't that good too. you might want to change it. So you can modify it easily by putting a pre-wired pickguard.
Edit after a month: I currently changed the pickups with casual fender pickups, its a cool guitar to have it but the frets are all weared out, you even can visually see that the top of the frets are gone, and now its not possible to do bends with this guitar. Wearing out after a month is crazy. So if you buy this guitar you surely have to refret because frets are extremely soft. But refretting a low budget guitar like this isn't really makes sense.

Less than I expected
I bought this guitar because I wanted to try the Sonic series (and another strat).
The color was beautiful, the small body looks and feels great, but the deal breaker was the fretwork: it was a mess, scratchy and rough/unpolished...
When Harley Benton is offering SUCH AMAZING guitars at this price point, I don't see how this kind of fretwork is acceptable
On the other hand the sound was sweet and beautiful !
The action was Ok out of the box.
If it wasn't for the unfinished fretwork I would have 100% kept the guitar
