Harley Benton SC-450Plus HB Vintage Series

I would like to be able to give a higher review

I do enjoy the sound and look of the guitar quite a lot, and the coil splitting feature is totally fun and sounds pretty good, the issue is more around certain basic things... The tuners aren't really the greatest, it's pretty difficult to get your guitar in tune because they have something that feels like a 1:6 ratio. The nut isn't the greatest either, it grabs the strings when tuning and makes it only more difficult. My last issue is the most significant and also seemingly one that should have been noticed in the QC, the frets are sub-optimal, and that's using some very kind wording. They are flat on the tops in certain areas which throws off the intonation, and they give you a grinding feeling when you bend. I can't say I was expecting a premium guitar, but I certainly was hoping for one that didn't grind the strings when you bend.

WOW!!!

This arrived today as promised. Bit worried, as some reviews said poor build quality. I didn’t need to worry, this guitar is excellent, the action is low, intonation perfect, and the sound range from the coil tapped humbuckers is amazing. I had an epiphone les paul custom many years ago, for me this new guitar is better for my old ( and now sore ) fingers, and the finish is perfect. Amazing value for the price, I am going to enjoy my playing again.

Amazing guitar

I love this guitar it feels great to play and the sound is amazing. There’s lots of different sounds you can get from it and each one is great. All the materials and everything feel great as well

Better than expected

Arrived in great shape. Abs no faults. For the price it's outstanding. Stayed in tune straight away. Decent action and worth investing in some quality strings. Beautiful finish. Flawless apart from a small amount of smudging between the fretboard and neck. Very pleased all in all. Recommended.

Incredible guitar at an incredible price

I'm a proponent of super budget guitars, and I had been considering a Harley Benton guitar for a long time. The only thing stopping me was the high shipping cost to America. I couldn't resist any longer, and finally bought this one.

I've been playing a really nice low budget Strat from another company for 3 years, and I love it, but I've gotten into recording, and I wanted a guitar that offered an alternative sound to the Strat, something with more punch and power to counter the slinkiness of the Strat, and a Les Paul style with humbucker pickups is the perfect choice. After agonizing over color choices, I chose the Honey Burst, and pulled the trigger.

It arrived quickly, in only a few days, packed in a guitar box, inside of a larger box with a top quality gig bag that I also ordered. It arrived with no damage, other than a broken high E string.

The finish was perfect, everything worked great, and I couldn't find a single flaw, it seemed to be set up fine, and was playable out of the box (other than tuning it of course). I've had it a few months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. Switching between the LP and the Strat is like going from a high-powered SUV to a Ferrari. Both are great rides, but offer completely different experiences.

In short, I am 100% happy with my Harley Benton purchase. I've got a list of guitars I'd like in my collection, and plan on buying from HB when the guitar-buying bug bites me again.

good

good guitar, sound incredible. for this price - must have

super guitare pour le prix

Juste un détail ! le chevalet monté à l'envers, après avoir changer le cordage quand j'ai reçu la guitare j'ai remarqué que l chevalet était monté à l'envers, il faut faire une gymnastique pas possible pour avoir accès aux vis de mise en accord d'octave, Au prochain changement de cordes je ferai la rectification et réaccorderai le tout ....
