Price.
Great designs, specs and seem to be constructed well but the price tags are hefty in an age of increasing prices and peopleβs pay grades remaining still.
As per mentioned, with the likes of Sire churning out crazy good instruments and such competitive prices, theyβre now becoming the status quo of what you can buy for good quality and a decent price. Harley Benton behind that, despite what initial quality control was like, are still producing crazy good instruments next to nothing.
