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

Unbelievable price and quality!

Great guitar, even if it was double the price i would be satisfied. Buy one!

great musical instrument

since this is my first guitar, I did not find any flaws.

I was very surprised by the quality of the instrument, the assembly. I was satisfied with the sound, too, I had no complaints. I am very pleased with the purchase. I was also pleased with the price of the guitar. I am undoubtedly ready to recommend the product and the store as a whole.

At this price range ? You can get nothing elsw as this guitar !. The looks and the finishing is perfect, the pickups are more than OK! ,you can surely keep them on, it has split coil(with some small tweak you can have dissent single coil sound). The fretboard has some minor issues but nothing that makes the guitar not playable (guitars with double the price have more issues). For beginner or intermediate player just perfect!

Nice

Great tone and playability. Thank you

great singlecut

ive got 5 HB singlecuts, the only con on this one are the pickups, but once replaced, you have a great looking guitar with an awesome neck!

The tuners are very cheap (a gear inside broke when I was replacing strings), that's the only place where they've cut corners, the rest of the guitar is perfect. Just buy better tuners and you are golden.

Another Great Buy

Love this instrument. Amazing for the price. Sounds as good as the old Les Paul Deluxe I used to have. Everything is clean with no clumsy glueing or grating frets. Set up nicely and is beautiful.

The LP Gibson is scared of!

Originally I had gotten this guitar as a present for my brother, I assumed it wouldn't be very beginner-friendly (which it isn't) and advised against it. Like I thought he didn't play it, the neck was too big and it just didn't sound the way he wanted; lucky for me though, I found it stunning, my hands though small, can play quite comfortably for a long period of time, and the finish on the neck wasn't too sticky, there were no imperfections other than it needing a slight fret polish and set up which I could do myself.

The one draw I personally have is the coil-split, it's fine and the humbuckers otherwise sound kicker for the price, but the tones from the splits were just not there for me, maybe it's the pots or some wiring but it's just not all there for me.

The neck joint is bloody perfect, the frets had no sprout and the binding was wrapped almost perfectly. Now, this isn't going to always be the case, but even with minor imperfections, these guitars are perfect little project pushers.

If you're a new guitarist looking for a sweet axe, I'd tell you to look at another model, however, if you're experienced enough, I'd dare say that the big G would be shaking in their boots with the absolute killer value that follows this guitar.

better than i expected

The guitar looks amazing out of the package, the details are really great!

the guitar itself is quite heavy, the neck is really comfortable and easy to move around. the strings and tuners used could be better but still not bad at all! would definitely recommend

Good product, but little problem with one of the keys...

Sc-450 plus

Gives me the Les Paul experience at a fraction of the cost. Looks Great, sounds great but most importantly it plays great! I love the chunky neck. Very traditional. I also own 3 of the 550's slim neck as well as vintage Gibson Les paul guitars (3) and others. Honest opinion is....Every bit as good.

Harley Benton SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series the best guitar ever I played

I found out about this guitar about two years ago. Began to study it. I watched many reviews, read even more articles and reviews. The problem is that there are very few such guitars in Russia. And finally I have the guitar. I am incredibly happy with the purchase. Build quality, looks, sound - everything is at a height of 5/5. I've been playing for several hours now and I can't stop. The guitar was packed well and securely too. Delivered relatively quickly, but there is a problem with Russian delivery services. Summing up, I want to say a big thank you to the Tomann store.

You cant find another Guitar of this Quality for this Price!

This Guitar has a great Tone. The pickups sound real nice, the overall quality and finish is outstanding. No setup was necessary out of the box.

Way more guitar than I expected.

First, I was blown away getting my guitar in two days (after the order was processed), Germany to Florida, U.S. Surreal, I suspected witchcraft might be involved.

Second, the guitar was equally surprising. I had seen all the You Tube videos showing a flaw in the finish here, a run in the binding there, and was prepared for that at this remarkable price point. What I received was a one piece (no glue joint-none!) mahogany body, perfectly intonated, perfect neck relief, flawlessy crafted instrument. Which weighs a friggin' TON, but you should have already been prepared for that if you bought this style guitar. I have truly fine tooth combed this instrument and cannot find a single ding, scratch, run, screw unset, tuner out of alignment, sprouted fret,, nothing. Neck is true and flat. Frets are level. Plays beautifully, But did I mention that it's heavy? Because it is. Seriously heavy. Just sayin', get a good locking strap for it, 'cause you'll need it. But lugging that weight is worth it when you discover how it plays and how it sounds. Great guitar!

More than I expected

I purchased based on the reviews. Had to change a couple of things, but I am very satisfied. Replaced the nut with a graphtec for tuning issues. Kept breaking .09 e when bending hard, so I went to .10 set and wrapped strings over tailpiece to reduce the angle to the bridge while keeping tailpiece tightened down to the body. Frets were not polished, but bending with the original strings did the job. No other polishing needed. Very versatile with coil splitter volume pots. Overall, the best money I've ever spent on a guitar.

This guitar sounds great, it is very well made, it is elegant. My congratulations to the master who created it. Also my huge thanks to the store staff. The guitar was well packed and was delivered to Moscow in just six days.

Brill guitar not cheep looking or feeling perfect for me

Great Jams

I've been playing on this Guitar on Rocksmith and it is has been very compatible so far. I have yet to test out the smaller features on an actual amp because Rocksmith already provides all that. The guitar quality was almost there but I noticed the guitar nut was not smoothened out which may cause problematic buzzing sounds in the future. I have not tinkered on the guitar since I want to see how long it can go before requesting assistance via warranty. I'm also getting mechanical sounds from the strings when I play loudly (this is without being amp'd).

Good guitar

Very good guitar. It's my first electric guitar and I can't be an expert, but what I see is what I see. Quality is perfect, everything works, colour is better than in the pictures. I couldn't find any weaknesses. I'm happy now and recommend to anybody this product.

My first LP guitar. Before that, I only played on ST. The workmanship is excellent, the build holds perfectly. The sound is deep and rich. Great price! Fast shipping and delivery
