Harley Benton SC-450Plus GT Vintage Series 5-stars Reviews

The equal of Gibson Les Pauls!

This was the second of the eleven Harley Benton guitars I’ve bought in 2024. This, as well as my first, the same in Black, are entirely the equal of their Epiphone versions. I know that some reviewers have commented that the Humbuckers on these two are not as hot as on Gibson Les Pauls. But I’ve found that with just an overdrive pedal, I can equate them. Thus, I’ve obtained what I want, which is the roaring wail of Gibson Les Pauls, at merely a fraction of that cost!

Amazing for that price.

I thought this guitar will be some piece of garbage but it turned being really amazing for that price. Of course, it isn’t the quality like original 2500€ Gibson but it’s definitely worth it for 180€

Exceptional value

I’m selling my Gibson les Paul! Overall build quality is the same. but I prefer the neck joint and I feel the bridge is better engineered bigger studs feel more solid. it holds tune much better than my Gibson. I also prefer the the finish over the Gibson’s fragile sticky finish.

Very good guitar…I am happy!

Just received mine today

This is my first Harley Benton and I have to say it's been a absolute fantastic experience. Arrived in just a few days and it's absolutely in perfect condition. I'm really blown away with the finish and it sounds very good. Definitely won't be my last. I really recommend them.

Love this for many reasons

I was concerned about this guitar when I first saw the advert on Facebook. "Way too cheap", I thought. But, since I took possession and played it, I am so surprised and impressed at the quality of the sound, feel, look etc, that it has become my favourite guitar.

My only concern is the lack of quality with the Tuning Machine Heads and the fact I am constantly having to re-tune...

I have now had to buy new Tuning Machine Heads and replace the originals. My thoughts would be, install better at the manufacturing stage and then raise the price accordingly. On the whole though, a wonderful budget guitar for those with only limited funds.

Spectacular Value for Money!

I genuinely wasn't expecting this guitar to look or sound anything like as good as it does, but it is superb! The sound - especially with coil taps available on both pickups, and the fact that it has 2 volumes and 2 tones, makes this a real workhorse for the studio, and at the price an absolute must have! Seriously guys - this is exceptional!

SC-450Plus GT

well first off, Its more like a coppertop then gold, the machine heads are snot green. Ipicked it up to examine it just to check and I cant find a blemish anywhere, this thing is perfect. No mis matched binding no runs in the paint,no sharp frets this thing is perfect. Quality wise This guitar is as good visually as some of my other guitars that cost nearly ten times the price. Its heavy, just like the model its based upon..Plugging it in It sounds and does everything its meant to do,I play blues /rock usually no bass hardly any treble lots of reverb and high volume. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite guitars.Love it.
