Top Qualität!

Beautifully and well-constructed guitar. For the money, it has terrific sound and is an excellent value. My brother, a retired, 71-year-old rock musician, enjoyed playing the guitar so much, he stated he would have loved to have received this guitar as a gift when he graduated high school in 1970. My son absolutely loves the guitar!

One of my best purchases

I bought this guitar because it looked „cool“ and I‘m more than surprised. The tone is great/awesome, good for Metal and rock. The black coloring looks brutal and the neck is really smooth (wich is perfect for me) To be honest, one of the best guitars for that price!

Its ok, but not the best option

Its ok for someone who likes metal and want a les paul guitar. But for me its not worth it. Strats are much better. I personally bought it for that reason as my first guitar. But i realized when i was playing that that guitar didn't make me to play with all my heart. But a squire of a friend made me want to play for hours. (Personal opinion)

Harley Benton SC-1000 SBK

Ordered a guitar, delivery was about a month. I expected a little more from it, but in general - an excellent instrument for metal, an analogue of the ESP LTD-256.

Pros:

- Matte nice finish

- Edging in several layers

-Good wood used in making

- Active sensors have a strong signal

Minuses:

-There are factory flaws on the edging - black blotches of paint

- On the fretboard near the nut, the varnish was slightly chipped off, but this is not critical

-The frets were not properly calibrated, had to be sanded and polished so that the 6th string would not ring after the 12th fret

A good tool, considering its price, even with all the shortcomings.

One of the best deals in the guitar world!

Truly cannot say enough about this guitar. The field, the finished, the playability, the sound, the resonance, and just everything about it is truly amazing.

The fact Harley Benton was able to create and sell such a fantastic product for such an affordable price is astounding and anyone that is into guitar should absolutely give one of these a shot. I have it both in the matte black finish as well as the white finish, and I love them both so much!

Pretty good

The guitar arrived on time and was playable out of the box needing only tuning. It's a bit on the heavy side and could do with better tuning machines but it's more than worth what you pay for it . It was my first harley benton guitar and I was amazed by the overall quality !

This is now my go to AX

so i had a Gibson Goth SG and a LTD ec-256. well i had a Gibson Gothic sg until the head stock snapped off. Thanks Gibson! Anyway i wanted to try a guitar with active pickups. everything i read said that the Harley Benton HBZ's can hold their own against active EMG's . so i decided to go with the HB SC-1000. for the price i figured i would have to do a bit of tweaking when it came in. again i was wrong everything was set up perfectly! low action, no dead frets, and the look &d feel is amazing. The active HBZ's sound incredible. I love this guitar. its my go to. the LTD is collecting dust. i will be doing a review on my channel. and my next purchase will be the HB EX-84 Modern!
