Harley Benton SC-1000 WH Progressive Line

Great guitar

Lovely guitar. Solid, sexy as hell, crazy good price.

Plays and have not had to change anything.

Someday I may tweak a few things but its great right out of the box. Very happy!

Great price/performance!

for beginner and intermediate level.. active pickups literally roar. Good job HB!

Great bang for the buck.

I bought this on sale, I liked the finish, the sound and it arrived fast, the only imperfections I noticed was the binding at the end of the neck is coming off (I'll use some glue) and I had to do a proper setup so the guitar could be playable, but overall very good.

For this price, unbeatable. However needs better strings and some setup

, out of the box not super impressed. After some fine tuning on setup However works like a charm. Very high output pickups, great for metal.

Found my daily/gig guitar

I was a bit worried that I would get a low-quality guitar because of how cheap this guitar is but I was wrong. The guitar arrived in great shape, with no sharp edge frets, the neck is straight and the paint job is immaculate. Plugged it into my amp and everything worked. Changed strings and polished the frets and man this guitar is great. I've been using it daily and as my gig guitar.

Great guitar

Great guitat for metal. Feels great

Fat neck

No complaints other than I want the custom 11 now

Decent second guitar. Some set backs.

This is the 2nd guitar I’ve gotten from Harley Benton. The first one was a Ex-73 explorer. That guitar plays great. This one came looking great. But once I plugged it in I noticed some electrical issues. The volume knobs didn’t work correctly. The neck pickup volume switch will turn on and off whether it’s fully down or fully up. It has to sit somewhere in the middle. The pickup selector is finicky that if you bump it along with messing with the volume knobs, the output drops and you sound like you have vintage pick ups with low output. Gotta get lucky messing with the selector and volume knobs to get full power back. Pickups also pick up a lot of outside noise. Along with some radio stations if you’re into that.

Great guitar to upgrade!

Absolutely love how this guitar arrived and plays. It compares with some of my $500 guitars so it's the best deal for your money. My only problem was that it had a issue with the grounding not being done properly so the pickups were extremely noisy. I know this is a pretty common problem for HB so just be prepared to possibly put some work into it. That being said I Absolutely love HB and will be purchasing more soon!

Skip Gibson or ESP

If you watch most youtube videos on Gibson guitars, they are full of disappointment and plenty of issues with QA. This guitar has been an absolute joy to play and was set up right outa the box.

Very good for the price

I've been playing since 2014 with this guitar and had no issues and is has a good sustain.

It sound very good with its original pickups and its very worth it for its price.

The only "negative" would be that the neck feels more "flexible" than other guitars I have tried but that's not actually a problem, its more like a characteristic as it helps with the sustain.
