Harley Benton SC-400 SBK Vintage Series 5-stars Reviews

Nice guitare

Very nice made for the price, the sound it's good, only the last string vibrates a bit strange, probably will be better after replacement...

On and on the guitar is great I like it very much!

Stealth Classic

Pro: Matte black finish is so nice and with a swap of the tuners to a black version it looks even better. Set up was great, no fret sprouting. Inlay work is all fine and no dead frets.

Cons: Tuning keys feel cheap but swapped them out with some black ones that are a bit better. Pickup toggle switch seems a bit loose but seems to function without falling out of selection. The nut seems a little rough and is plastic but seems to function fine.

Overall: The bridge seems to be a standard setup and functions fine. The finish is nice, no binding but that's fine with me. Fret work was fine out of the box, no sprouting and no dead frets. The action isn't the lowest but is completely playable. Overall I would totally buy again and recommend to anyone either starting out of looking for a solid second, third, fourth or fifth guitar to add to the collection.

Is unfair for this price put less than 5 start i have for 2 years and i enjoyed a lot, i keep like the first day only i changed the pickguforard for one black, maybe in the future I gonna change something more but for now im very happy!

Ir arrived intact, no scratch mark. The action was a little high and the intonation a bit off but i solved that in 20 minutes. The guitar sounds great, unexpectedly good for the price. I have 2 or 3 high frets but will file then down. Totally worth the money. Ah, and it looks GREAT! The black satin matte finish is absolutely beautiful.

Simply amazing

I had low expectations but this is something else... Well done to whole service always being helpful to their customers

Excellent electric guitar for this money

I have been playing acoustic and electric guitars for a few years.

This guitar is really worth its money and is better than entry level Epiphone guitars.

Came well set up right out of the box, very playable and with excellent sound. Useful for variety of playing sounds!

No real cons, can't beat it for this price.

Best LP Clone I have ever dealt with.

I couldn't be happier with the decision of ordering this guitar from Germany and having to wait a month for shipping!!!

For 148$USD i received a pristine matte black Single Cut that plays, looks, and sounds JUST LIKE the Original that costs literally 10 times as much.

I totally expected to get a half-decent body and then have to spend the money on new knobs, tuners, and pickup; just to make up the difference and have something playable. Damn was I wrong on all accounts.

My guitar as all of the craftsmanship, AAA finish, tone, and overall playability that I could ever ask for and at a fraction of the cost.

Couldn't find better

I've compared many guitars in this price-range before purchase and landed on this one. I loved it's design and how it sounded on samples, and I was not disappointed when I've received it. The only issue I've found that unfortunately it is not grounded/shielded, but you can do it yourself easily when next time changing your strings

Superb Value for Money

This was the cheapest LP shaped guitar I could find for practice and am so pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of it! The matt black finish is beautiful, the fretwork is perfect, intonation spot on, no complaints at all.

We have a few Harley Bentons in the house and they are all excellent value for money.

This guitar is so awesome!

I love this guitar! It plays awesome, it has an awesome price too.

Plays really great, the pickups sound so good, great satin finish. seriously it's a great guitar!

Flabbergasted

After seeing the reviews online/youtube I decided to try the SC-400 out.

I thought it was amazing, and have shown it to 4 other players, ranging from casual to professional level.

None of them believe the price/quality for this guitar. It truly is a stunning value.

Wow

My first Harley Benton and I'm very, very impressed. Have to say the shipping part is a bit unnerving (seemed to be in same shipping status for weeks) but my first time having something shipped overseas to states. Package arrived in nearly flawless condition (yes, the box) and guitar was packed great. Pulled it out and started playing. I've been looking for flaws but haven't found one yet. The quality for the price is unbelievable. Highly recommend

Brothers First Guitar

I bought this for my brother as his first guitar. I've been playing guitar for 12 years now and rock some serious gear. For the price the quality and sound is great. If you're thinking about buying it, do it.

Wanted a Matt LP with Humbuckers......

Perfect right out of the box and for a 100bucks, just shut up and play it.

Love the Matt finish but it needs a little more care, not a single mark or flaw on this guitar, Frettboard needed a little oil, needs a little setup but what can you say for the price, marvelous value, great looks and plays just fine. I have owned much more expensive guitars and fancy names that were far worse................I have several new HB's guitars in my Cart, that should say it all....Do I recommend the HB SC 400................Yes!!

Must say that Cory Mura and Henning from EytschPi42 are great ambassadors for HB.........

great guitar for the price

great guitar for the price, love the mat finish.great guitar to mod.played out of the box. it had high action, so I lowered it and it fine. all in all, really happy with the purchase.

great guitar

the only things that ever bothered me about the guitar are the fact that it doesnt have binding and the fact that the neck was pretty dirty. gave it 3 good scrubs and now it looks and plays like a dream. the initial setup was ok, though its not hard to setup a LP type guitar.

it sounds and feels like a much much more expensive guitar. the original pickups are vintage output and sound really nice and the overall finish of the guitar is amazing. very beautiful and soft to touch!

if it ever got broken or stolen i would for sure buy an HB again, though not sure if this one because of my binding problem (the guitar looks so nice and expensive the inlays are really pretty and then theres no binding. but overall it looks like a studio version)

Excellent

Great guitar, super fast shipping to Canada!

You cannot have one of these

As a guitarist in an active gigging band, I was pushed into buying this as a Christmas present by my family. My first guitar is a Yamaha SG2000, second is a customised J5 Squier Telecaster which I gig and third choice was a USA Gibson Les Paul Studio which was a huge disappointment.

The Harley Benton arrived and I can't believe how good a guitar it is for the £85 it cost. The weight and build quality is excellent, and the only thing I don't like are the 10's strings which I will replace. It plays far better than the Gibson, which is now up for Sale, and it feels that good, I will gig it next year.

I wasn't sure about the Matt finish when I ordered it, but it looks fantastic.

I think these Guitars are worth checking out if you don't have a huge budget
