I absolutely lust after this  black single cut custom  with a gold floyd rose 1000 in gold and 24 frets it looks fast and sleazy

That's mad, isn't it? Like an EC1000 for less than a third of the money 

I know  it’s pretty amazing

on pictures alone these are stunning looking guitars.

I've got a Harley Benton strap. 
It's a really good strap for the money.

You may be based in the Netherlands Mudcrutch but for uk based people things will change a lot come brexit, out with EU treaty rules in with WTO treaty rules. 

In my work we’ve been working like crazy and spent tens of millions prepping multiple screnarios for european trade - multiple because the old certainty has gone. 

Thats another topic. 

But back on topic this is a cracking piece of work playing a HB LP

And that video right there shows why for almost every guitar player on the planet we don't need more than mass produced Harley Benton.

Wanting a Gibson/Fender/PRS etc and owning one is perfectly fine - I'm really happy for all of us (including myself) that do. But in reality the real thing won't make us better players.

If you say so bud...

Personally also a man, but I like to think I'm in touch with my feminine side.

Well if you change the bottle, it's just like custom shop hide glue...

I’ve got three HB vintage plus LP style guitars Lemon top Black with gold hardware and a sunburst.
I love the coil splitting facility.
All are fabulous quality guitars.

Is the top carved like a Gibson?

If we were honest with ourselves you’re probably right. 

Maybe the name on the headstock takes you a step closer to being on stage with David Gilmour, The Edge or whoever your guitar hero is

Perhaps not but is the headstock detachable like a real Gibson?

The Vintage V100 guitars have carved tops like a Gibson LP.

The Harley Benton SC550 and SC450 are similar to the Vintage V100, although the SC450 is of lower quality. I expect that both models have carved tops.

Nothing will change next year One will be able to order from Thomann just like now and UPS will deliver to the UK just like normal.
