Harley Benton SC-450 BK Classic Series Reviews

Great guitar

Feels really nice to play sounds great and the price is amazing

A 400 euro guitar for 150.

This guitar looks, feels and sounds like a guitar just as good as any other 400, maybe 500 euro Epiphone Les Paul, from personal experience. When compared to even more expensive guitars, this holds up, really, really well.

Almost perfect

The only problem is that there was a problem with a switch. Here i must say that the support is very fast and responsive. If I haven't this switch problem I would put 5 stars to all topics

nice sound

thank you for your cooperation

Arrived damaged unplayable

Very disappointed, my first (and last) order from this seller. Arrived 2 days late with bad damage to neck near the headstock... Sent straight back 3 weeks ago, still waiting for refund

SC 450 BK

Delivery was right on time. The finish is beautiful and the sound is great! Very happy.

Just Wow!

I bought this guitar after owning the SC550-2. My expectations weren't super high due to the price. This guitar arrived flawless and sounds awesome! It even came with a decent set up, all it needed was tuned. I may enjoy playing it more than my SC550 (the neck feels terrific!)

Great guityar for the price!

picked one up to try something I kept hearing about on youtube.....And let me say I am glad I did I have played similar instruments cost hundreds more that were not as nicely setup as this A++++++

Better than expected.

The Harley Benton 450 classic is almost that ,a fine all over black gloss finish ,neat attractive binding on the upper body and neck ,hardware is fine ,the tuning machines look good and function as well as the price of the guitar ,sounds nice clean or overdriven and the pickup selector isn`t sloppy ,the action was high when i received the guitar ,i adjusted the neck with slight relief and lowered the action ,still buzzing up and down the fingerboard ,i will raise the action more to see if that helps ,other than that an instrument that looks and sounds more than expected!.

Lovely buget Les Paul

As long as I am the owner of this tool, I have never felt discomfort and have not seen any shortcomings. Remarkably keeps the system, the frets do not scratch, the electronics are reliable and, most importantly, the pickups that allow you to steer any sound for any taste and whim. It sounds very elegant on the wedge, and bright and juicy on overload. Once you take this guitar in your hands, it will not be possible to let go of it again).

Great looking guitar

Great looking guitar with a lovely gloss finish.

I have replaced the cheap gold knobs with black marshmallow speed knobs and removed the chrome pickup covers, revealing the twin black humbucker coils beneath... now it really does look like a 70's rocker!

It has a 'vintage' feel too as the neck is quite chunky, but not like a baseball bat... really playable, and the tuners are good quality too.

Also, for a basswood guitar it is really nice and heavy.

For the price, this is a quality guitar that you can customise to your own taste, probably something you wouldn't do with a Gibson?

My first guitar.

I decided somehow to start playing the guitar, and my eyes fell on this one. I ordered, she came quickly enough (in 6 days) to Latvia. It sounds great, the only problem is that the 6 and 5 strings jingle a lot when I'm not clamping the frets. In general, the guitar is super, thanks for my first experience in buying guitars.

Decent Guitar

Bought this for my brother to learn on and for that it did the job well. This a very beautiful guitar with some nice weight to it and very playable neck

Awesom

Thats my first guitar,and for that price this is awesome!

The workmanship is excellent. The sound is mediocre. Soapy and expressionless. The sustain is good.

By far the best in the price range

When it comes to economic instruments the area where they have yet to catch up is the quality control. The attention to detail in this guitar is beyond what any other brand offers. The fretwork and fret ends, the paintjob both in body and the binding are all fantastic and way above what even brands like epiphone offer in their similar models.

More than expected

The guitar has a perfect finishing,the details are veey nice, the only two things as a problem are: Truss rod needed a bit of adjustment and definitely needs a better set of pickups. (no complains ,the price is very good for the guitar so you can do the pickup replacement)

Amazing

It's a wonderful guitar, and it arrived much faster than I thought it would given it was coming from overseas. It looks amazing, and sounds great and stays in tune really well. I strongly recommend getting this if you want a LP style guitar on a budget.

Everything You'd expect and MORE

Ok, so I use this for 70s Rock Style. I do some light gigging with it. This guitar has the feel and quality of much more expensive brands, ahem (G****n). Quality is spot on. Guitar arrived without any flaws whatsoever. It set up perfect for a standard setup right out of the box. I made a few small adjustments according to my needs.

The sound quality is deep and throaty as you would expect from this type of guitar. The cleans are crystalline and the overdrives and distortion are very nice as well. I use this with a Vox AC30 Top Boost Amp. The stock pickups have enough power to really drive my amp. Fretboard was nice and smooth, no rough edges on the frets. I own several HB guitars and have never been disappointed in the quality of any of them. Just as a suggestion, this guitar (super high gloss black) would really be over the top if it had Gold Hardware!

Great guitar for the price

Very well built, looks great. However the sound isn't that good on neck pickup.
