Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series 5-stars Reviews

Gold Top Gold

I just loved the look of this guitar so I had to buy one. Thought I was taking a risk with such a cheap guitar and the shipping from Germany, but after eight days it arrived in good condition and was well set up. Did need some new strings and a little messing to suit my style of playing but, for that kind of money I cannot complain !!

It's Great

It's Fantastic.Peroid......I Love the P90's.....The Finnish is bee U Tee Full......I'd buy ANOTHER ONE id I didn't have THIS ONE......If you spend THREE GRAND on an LP-P90......You're Mental....

Unless you’re a seasoned professional, it’s easily good enough

I bought it because the reviews seemed too good to be true, and I haven’t been disappointed…

The most important features of any guitar (Neck, frets and intonation) would not be out of place on an expensive professional instrument.

Good points: It is a joy to play.. Anyone whether learning from scratch, or honing their skills, could have this as their only guitar with confidence…

If it were three times the price, I might criticise the choice of ceramic magnets in the pickups, the machine heads (Tuners) and the quality of the electronic components.. But it’s not three times the price… And those parts can be easily and cheaply upgraded if you’re very picky, Putting it in the same class as many desirably badged guitars…

dont let this one pass you by, this is the best value i have found in 40 years of playing!!!

growing up in america, i have always used fender or epiphone guitars, because thats all i knew about. but having discovered the harley benton line of fine instruments, all that has changed! this SC-450 P90 is the BEST single cut guitar i have ever laid my hands on!!! im serious!! the build quality, the fret work, the electronics, the pickups....everything is top notch!! you will not find a finer guitar for under $1000 anywhere! this one from harley benton is, affordable, and sounds amazing!! dont hesitate, just order it, you will NOT be disappointed !! i now own 3 other guitars from harley benton, and i just placed an order for my fifth one, with no regrets or worries!! you will NOT find better or finer instrument anywhere in the world at this price point!

Perfect for me

Been GASING for a gold top.

A lot of guitar for the money.

At the price listed, I could not resist buying it.

I could find no cosmetic issues whatsoever.

The set up was excellent and the fretboard very acceptable.

The electronics are very budget, but work well. I will be upgrading them just for fun of it.

Nice to play and the ceramic P90 pickups surprised me with how nice they sound.

I have some spare Roswell alnico V P90 pickups from my CST-24T, which I will try because I love to fiddle.

Overall a fantastic guitar, and for that price, a steal.

Great guitar. Good value!

I thought this thing would need some work, being a budget guitar, but I didn't even need to set it up! I just put my favorite strings on it and it's a blast!

Great guitar

Buy it. Got that classic p90 tone and perfect for social distortion fans

I love it!

What an amazing sound. The p-90's sing. There is no need to complain about certain quality issues because ultimately they do not matter. So happy with this purchase that I plan on collecting as many Harley Benton's as possible. I give it ten for the price

A fantastic GoldTop guitar at a terrific price

Harley Benton offers their version of a historically significant and classic guitar design with the SC-450 P90 GT. Great workmanship, great feel and great sound from the P90 pickups has convinced me that you don't have to spend thousands to get a terrific GoldTop guitar.

Much better than expected!

This is an excellent guitar, especially at this price point. The only flaw that I've been able to find is that the two mounting screws on the bridge pickup were loose. That took about 30 seconds to fix. There are no flaws in the finish, the setup is very good and everything works as it should. The neck feels as good or better than my 2010 Gibson Traditional Plus, which cost me about 11 times more (and I purchased the Gibson 12 years ago!). Now that the cat's out of the bag, I'll be shopping here for instruments in the future.

Goldy is home

Never own a gold top . I figured let me try this one out after watching the few reviews on YouTube I’m so glad I took the plunge!

Ridiculously good for the money

I have several great guitars, Fenders and Gibson, some vintage and I love them, but I had always wanted a Les Paul Gold stop w/P90 pickups. I didn’t need another guitar and I would not have bought a gold top les Paul for that exact reason. But at this price I had to buy it and I am so freaking pleased with it. The quality, fit and finish, playability, tone are all top notch. I play it through a Spark Amp and it sounds like a million bucks. I am also a pretty good player and would gig out with this axe without a question.

Absolutely amazing

Received it earlier today. Other than the normal dry fretboard (to be expected), it’s completely rock solid. Intonation is dead on. Action is perfect. A little lemon oil, and it’s good to go. This is now my 6th Harley Benton.

Brilliant guitar

Had this guitar for a while now and I can only say it is amazing for the money.There has been no issues what so ever.The finish etc. is comparable with guitars costing many times more.I can really recommend this guitar.Just amazing.

Great rock tone

Amazing guitar, flawless in every aspect. Replaced the pickups with dimarzio 59, but was not nessesary after all, cause the pickups were great.

I got it sent to Japan

There was dullness on the frets and the fingerboard was very dry.

Some repair was needed.

But the sound is perfect.

What an amazing guitar!

Looks awesome! What a gorgeous finish! Plays great! Totally authentic. Sounds amazing! It just sings! Such a sweet tone that seems to sustain forever. Worth far more than it costs! It competes with my 1973 Gibson goldtop which I bought new in 1973. I am VERY impressed.

great value for money

other than a bit of string buzzing the guitar is great and a very good value

This bliss

Love this guitar,not quite a gold top but the most value for money guitar l own out of several.love the p90s.would like a dc550 set up like this
