Harley Benton Baritone-7 SBK

Awesome guitar

I recently bought this guitar and I kid you not it plays amazingly well. The neck and intonation is spot on all the way up the board. For the price this guitar is phenomenal. My only gripe and that's just me is when playing with high gain the pickups sound slightly tinny. Other than that it's unbeatable. Thanks Harley Benton for an amazing guitar at an amazing price

Great guitar for playing Metal and Rock

Fire up that 4x12, put on your sunglasses, and plug in this six-string monster for some glorious classic rock tone! The SC-550SL Gotoh comes straight out of the golden age of rock n’ roll, with everything the modern rocker expects. A weight-relieved mahogany body with a gorgeous flamed maple top and a set mahogany neck provide that traditional tonewood recipe known for its attack and sustain.

And thanks to the chambering, you don’t have to sacrifice your spine for tone! The 12” radius Pau Ferro fingerboard comes sporting 22 stainless steel frets, making worn frets a thing of the past, while the Gotoh tuners and graphite nut ensure zero tuning issues. Powering the SC-550SL are two Tesla Opus-1 Alnico-5 humbuckers, with individual volume and tone controls. Flick the pickup selector to the bridge position and crank out some dirty riffs, or try the neck position with the tone rolled down for that sweet singing solo tone. Or mix both pickups and play around with the controls; a plethora of tones awaits you.

One of my favourites

I like this guitar. The quality is awesome. I couldn't even think that this guitar would be so good for the price!

The color is gorgeous.

The bridge pickup sounds awesome. But the neck pickup sounds muddy.

This guitar is a good platform for modding. I'm going to change pickups very soon, because I wanna own a true metal beast.

I can recommend this guitar to anyone who likes deathcore, death-metal or low tunings. It plays nice out of the box, but it can be modded as you want.

Superb Quality for the price

Quality is too good for the price.

Nice handling no flaws atm.

Also i never expected these humbackers to have such an amazing tone and crystal sound in general palm mutes dont sound that good on my other guitar's emg's.

Just got it to get in to 7 strings and its sooo good for its price, i d highly recommend it.

Muddy Pickups

2022 Model: They changed the old hot rail style pickups for something more conventional, but there's zero note separation on the low strings now. Forget about playing extended chords. The bridge pickup sounds like a muddy neck pickup, and the neck pickup is even muddier. My model also had some QC issues. It looks like it was beaten with a hammer after the 12th fret. Big, glaring dents along the neck where the fret ends are. Never saw anything like it before. Tuners are cheap feeling but work fine. Nut was cut well. Frets are smooth enough with no sharp fret ends. Neck is slim but has high shoulders. Almost feels like a slim D shape. Comfortable enough I suppose. Just a pity about the pickups in particular. Unusable for recording right now (using Neural DSP sims)

I feel like i stole it

Guys i have the guitar for 2 months it was my first 7 string and i love it you get so many features for so little money you feel like you stole it. I play it every day have no real problems with it. Pickups are awesome and sound like my emg 81/85 guitars locking tuners work great and its comfy to play. The guitar has some cons that for my opinion are so minor i dont even care to mention them considering the price. Remember guys the most ipmortant aspects of an instrument like sound playability and reliability at not notch. In summary i love it its by far my favorite guitar with its stealthy matte black looks <3. Good job harley benton u make dreams come true for us that cant spend a fortune for our love of music. I am planning to buy the 8 string version in the near future for sure!

Knocked it out of the park

So, not much to say here but: good job, Harley Benton. The guitar is stunning. For the price you get locking tuners, neck through design and a sweet finish. My main concern is the roughness of the neck on my particular model, it may just be the one that got overlooked, but I hope I can get it smoothed out.

All in all, if you're new to 7 strings like me, this is an excellent guitar to make your way into the extended range

A fantastic Baritone Seven String Guitar

Use:

I bought this guitar in order to get myself into this modern seven string metal guitar trend and I have to say, it's fantastic for its price.

Pros:

- Baritone neck, which increases stability for low tunings (tested as far as Drop D Octave)

- Locking tuners, which give this instrument absurd stability. It is unreal!

- Blade magnet stock pickups - I plan to change them, but they sound quite well and have very good presence;

- Satin painted neck - Smooth, fast feeling and extremely comfortably sized. It is worth noting that it is a bit bigger than a 6 string guitar;

- Very good weight - Despite not having the numbers, I have played with it a lot and I place it between a classic strat and an Ibanez superstrat in terms of weight;

- It chugs and it djents well.

Cons:

- As with almost all HB guitars, this one had a few sharp frets and a few dead ones, but nothing that cannot be fixed;

- The pickups can do metal, very aggressively even, but they lack the definition needed for modern guitar tones and those big seven string chords;

Conclusion:

If you have read this far, simply add it to the cart and take it home! It is a monster machine and it feels great even for people with small hands such as myself. I have done everything on it from recording my solo album to doing covers of bands that range from Sabaton to Feared and to Periphery.

I love It
