SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : First Harley Benton - impressed

8 years ago

I bought this guitar 2,5 years ago but decided to write review now. After such amount of time guitar properties are exaclty the same. Finish

Finish is great, I did not found any problems with this guitar. Binding is well done, gold veneer is perfect, neck is perfect aligned and frets are very well polished.

Sound:

P90 are blowing my mind. Neck pickup is MUCH better than bridge, however all P90 bridge pickups are harsh - I plan to replace it to minibucker. Neck pickup is warm and very articulate, this is best sounding neck pickup I have ever heard. From now on, I prefer P90 neck than humbucker or strat single coil - it is perfect for hi gain metal solo, crunchy and clean solo.

Body

Very thick, weighty but good balance with neck.

Tuners:

This is the weakest point of this guitar. AFter couple of songs and excessive strumming guitar needs re-tune.

General summary:

Guitar is perfect for any genre and well done. For this money - this is real steal. I think this guitar is worth at least 250 EUR.
