Harley Benton SC-500 BK Vintage Series 5-stars Reviews

Harley Benton SC-500 BK Vintage Series

I've bought this guitar 2 months ago it came by 2 days even though its hundreds of kilometers away. It came well packaged without any damage. It sounds perfect only thing is that its little bit microphonic but you can use it maybe for your advance.. Few bolts were skipping but its not that big problem. It doesnt have any noise its perfectly set up no buzzing at all. Tuning works perfectly fine and smooth and everything is from good material. Its not that heavy at all. I totally recommend this product to you if you dont have much money.

Nearly the equal of Gibson Les Pauls!

This was the first of the eleven Harley Benton guitars I’ve bought in 2024. This, as well as my second, the same in Gold, 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!

İlk gitarım

Gerçekten mükemmel ve hatasız geldi. Çok güzel paketlenmişti. 14 günde elime ulaştı. Görünüşü çok hoşuma gitti.

Exceptional quality

Truly amazing level of workmanship on such a cheap guitar. Beautiful frets, smooth neck, great paint work. Only the binding is a bit less precise at the pointy junction of the lower horn, but that is really no big deal - overall this guitar feels great, much more expensive than it is.

The hardware is slightly on the flimsy side but works fine. It is an easy and cheap upgrade, and anyway most people will probably change the pickups. The stock pickups don't sound bad but I replaced them with EMGs 85/60, soon changing them for Fat55s so I can get a more Les Paul vibe.

The tuners are decent, but I replaced the cheap plastic nut with a Graphtec for better tuning stability.

All together, a great guitar as-is, but probably even better as a modding platform. A solid base to get a premium sounding, feeling and looking guitar with a few upgrades.

Really beautiful piece that produces a great sound

Awesome

This model blew my expextations out of the water! I may very well start a nice collection of Harley Benton Guitars and Basses.

Can't Be Beat

Well made of high quality components. Great craftsman ship. Plays great and sounds great. I like my Harley Benton guitars

Best at any price

This guitar is EVERY bit as good as a classic Gibson and at a fraction of the cost!

Begginer Review

Amazing review for a begginer guitar!

Classic single cut.

Great head stock design. Love the gold hardware and that the guitar is bound front and back.

Great guitar for such a low price

The guitar plays very well, there are no frets sticking oit the sides.

The pickups are humbuckers so you can't go wrong for hardrock or metal.

Overall a great guitar.

Pleasantly Surprised

This was my third Harley Benton and I love it! Arrived quickly, no issues whatsoever, customer service was superb, and it was ready to play right out of the box. Takes higher gain tones like nothing and the cleans are something else. Very glad I bought this.

Beginners and collectors will love this guitar

Very well put together guitar and great features for the price. Set up and tweaking needed to set the action. Both, beginners and collectors will love this guitar. I'm happy to have this guitar in my collection.

Awesome Guitar

I was dubious about buying this as I recently bought a Jackson Adrian Smith SDXM. This was sort of an impulse buy as I wanted to try a Single Cut Style guitar. Wow, it looks and plays awesome for the money. It sounds sweet with good sustain and is totally different to the Jackson in terms of sound and feel. If it had cost more I would not have taken the gamble but having played it I would happily have paid more for it. I will be recommending it to my work colleague who is in the market for an inexpensive guitar.

Don't let the price fool you!

I've been playing guitar for 30 years,these guitars are very good quality!

A lot of guitar for a little money

I have always been a massive bc rich fan and currently own 8 mockingbirds plus one I built myself from scratch. I bought this guitar because I also love the les paul custom but couldn't quite stretch to the nearly £3000 for a Gibson! I was amazed at the build quality of this guitar for the money and have to say it stands up well aqainst my more expensive bc rich collection. Main downside for me was the pickups (which I kind of expected). I have since changed all of the hardware to wilkinson chrome and the pickups to wilkinson hot humbuckers, the guitar now sounds awesome in my opinion and I love it!

A great guitar

It sounds oh so good. and, much important, no aestethic damages have have been reported due to the shipping. Fantiastic details, all mechanics are pergectly orking.

A great guitaar!

Nice guitar overall

Strings are bad And have some stretches but it’s okay , I love it

my precious)

Hello.

Yes, this is a wonderful guitar (examples of sounds below).

Delivery to Russia is super, I was very worried that the guitar would not arrive, or it would arrive with damage (due to the war, this is not relevant now)...

I have not played for a long time, my old guitar was made from a bass guitar (cut off the neck and re-glued))

I can't professionally give a decision on the sound ... on the quality of performance - 100 out of 100 ...

special thanks (many thanks) to Svitlana Brukhlii, the manager who worked with my order.

if, in some fantastic way, I win something, transfer the winnings to support the red cross.

SORRY(

all my music is here (updated)
