Harley Benton SC-450Plus HB Vintage Series 4-stars Reviews

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.

Good product

Really nice looking guitar and plays well

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 ....

Great guitar for the money.

Great Guitar

Started using using this guitar for stage use - at the price - not too bothered if it gets bash about a bit. BUT for the price it is an amazing guitar! Just needed to tweak the setup of the truss rod and the bridge height and the guitar is great to play. Some excellent features like push pull Volume pots for coil tap on BOTH pickups. Guitar was well packed and arrived in excellent condition. One thing I might do is change the machine heads, they do feel a bit cheap but a new set of grovers or schallers still mean you have a great guitar at a very cheap price. Can't go wrong.

Great Guitar But Needs Work

The shipping was fast. About a week to get from Germany to Texas. I ordered 2 other instruments and honestly, I was not impressed with how it was packaged but thankfully everything survived in fact the body on this guitar looked perfect. No dings or dents or marks that others have said to have. The main issue was the frets, strings, and tuners. The frets were rough and had some grime on them. I immediately took the strings off and polished the fretboard. I then put on a new set of Ernie Ball strings. Readjusted the pickup placement and knob placement. I then set up Intonation as best I could which honestly was pretty hard. Although it has a the tunomatic style bridge I never could get the intonation that close. This might be due to the tuners which are the worst part of this guitar. If you don't plan on ever using this live. It is not an issue. Overall it is an amazing guitar. Beautiful finish and a good feeling neck. Feels like a instrument 3 times its price after the small work I put into it. Out of the box it's fine but not its best.

Perfect for beginners

As a beginner I found this guitar to be the perfect match. The price for what you get is astounding. After doing some basic setting up, this guitar plays great, even my more experienced friends were surprised by how great the guitar looks and feels. The tuners stay in tune and the guitar sounds great, enough for any beginner. Only drawback is that a good setup is important as the guitar didnt play well out of the box. I recommend this product for anyone who wants to learn to play guitar.

Not bad...

I no longer play live or record so this guitar is for home use only. Nice body finish, very pretty. A heavyweight guitar - that's a large chunk of mahogany. A little setting up required: the fretboard was dry and needed oiling but fret ends were tidy. Holds tune and plays very well. Overall, I like this guitar, especially at this price.

Great allrounder

Nothing to dislike about this guitar, it was set up and playable right out of the box, major dislike are the stickers on the pull push knobs, change them to paper ones that pull off, we know what they are for but the stickers when taken off leave a terrible residue that takes ages to get off.....

Marvelous guitar! RECOMMENDED

I bought this guitar because I wanted a Les Paul styled guitar for a lower price so I resorted to this and I'm absolutely satisfied with this. The finish is awesome considering the price range, sound is great on all pickups and I'd just recommend this guitar to anyone who wants a great budget guitar.
