Harley Benton SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series Reviews

It is very good

How many guitars the world has seen, and les paul, always is and will be in the top of the best guitars. I remember when idols sang songs on this guitar as a child, and in those days it was a dream to buy such an instrument. But then I bought myself a Harley Benton SC-450 Plus VB vintage electric guitar. And I felt the full power of the rock musicians of the 80s. Great sound, comfortable neck, and aesthetic splendor. However, it turned out to be heavier than I thought. A lot has been written about this guitar, it is a legend, and I would recommend it to all novice musicians.

I love this guitar

This is just like buying a Gibson Les Paul for 1/10 of the price and the quality is just superb. I highly recommend this guitar. You can't go wrong with this one!!

Amazing budget les paul!

In compare with epiphone around 500 bucks - Harley Benton made a fire. Amazing quality , amazing look. Sound: if u wanna classic les paul - that babe for u. Neck is classic LP sound like old man british with big nose. Bridge is bright and powerful rhythm sound

It’s good

It’s my second guitar and it’s a very good affordable guitar but you do get a little bit of fret buzz

Plays Exactly how I expected

I was looking for a Les paul body in the vein of Travis Stever from Coheed & Cambria from early music vids. It fit the bill once I got it I played along with many songs and I love the single tap. very versatile for rock and clean tones! excellent purchase!

Awesome Les Paul style guitar!

Excellent, neat detailing, well-functioning fittings. The sound of the humbuckers and single-coil cut is a sea of possible positions.

I've only one taken this guitar to the workshop once to get the first fret fixed. Otherwise it's the best you can find in this price range. Truly a pleasure to play an instrument! 🤌

Amazing!

Great guitar. Buy it now!

good for your money

at the time of purchase, it was the cheapest les paul, it would be a miracle if it even looked like a musical instrument, but it is also comfortable, vintage tuners do not get upset, which I think is unique. Good tool. There are flaws in cosmetics, but for such money, it’s a sin to complain.

SC-450 plus VB

It is a beautiful-looking guitar, loved the 50 style neck, Tones, and the versatility of the option of the split coils the only reason for not giving it a 100% score because of the sharp fret ends which were a bit disappointing but overall well made good value instrument.

Best single cut, for sure

Awesome and versatile coil split guitar, love it.

Great starting guitar

I was lucky to get both this and the Epiphone Slash AFD LP Performance Pack for xmas. Both amazing guitars for a starting student.

Easy to setup from the box and the experience was very great so far.

10/10 would buy from both Harley Benton and Epiphone again

good for that value

Out of the box in gemeralnot playable until alot of fretwork done to eliminate buzzing the magnets are good but not the pontesiometers tunning keys are just ok.I have chnge everything except the wood part witch haw a very good paint job .Overall for that money if you are a handson person its a beautifull instrument.

Great deal

Great deal for the price.

Incredible!

Just discovered I can get HB in my country and sure enough it is true, the guitar I would say is more accurately at a level 3 or 4 times (at least) it's price.

Everything is perfect

Set up was perfect, the workmanship is outstanding.

7 years later (older version)

I bought this back in 2015. I do have the older version with the Wilkinson Pickups which sound great for the price. Mine also doesn't have the push/pull. Even while my older version is less feature packed it still holds up well. Few small issues like the plastic plate around the input jack is cracked and the input jack is prone to loosening, same with the pickup switch but if that's the only issues I have from a guitar at this price 7 YEARS later, that's great.

This guitar is too good for the price.

It is well made with no visible blemishes.

Looks good and plays well. The neck relief was fine at .010”. I lowered the action a tad with no buzzing evident.

The colour is much redder than the stock photo, but I rather like it.

The tuners are adequate, and I may change them, but the pickups sound great.

This is my seventh HB, and third HB SC.

Love them all.

Well set up out of the box

We’ll set up guitar, slight blemish on the neck near the headstock, otherwise nicely finished

First But Not Last

The SC-450 Plus was my first Harley Benton, but it won't be my last. I wanted a guitar with coil split and found the SC-450 Plus for a price I couldn't believe, so I decided to try it. I have not been disappointed. The guitar arrived packed well and in great shape. Just a little tuning, and it was ready to play. I liked it so much that I told two friends, and now they are happy owners of Harley Bentons too.

Beyond Impressed

Hi everyone! First time Harley Benton buyer here. I ordered the SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series and had it shipped to NY. It only took 5 days and arrived very well packed. Right out of the box the guitar sounded great. I didn’t even need to adjust the action. It’s been a week now and I haven’t missed a day playing it. I’ll definitely be ordering from HB again.
