Harley Benton SC-Custom II Vintage Black 4-stars Reviews

Smooth player, decent sound

I always wanted a LP style but never could find one at the price I could afford. The matte finish and gold hardware looks straight up metal, fretwork is nice, neck is decently fast. My only complaint is the pups, all crunch and no smoothness with a rectified high gain. Blues type stuff is on point. Tuning stability is questionable I don’t know if I need a string butler or maybe lube the nut. It seems to go out of tune just slightly often. But the price beats all.

Good guitar

The guitar came in an improper state.

With a very high string action: 4-5 mm for the bass string.

And with a VERY dirty fretboard.

Fortunatelly, it was needed only to lower the bridge. The truss rod was already properly set up. Now the guitar sounds almost without buzzing.

Pros

- the sound is just good

- good playability, comfortable neck

- nice look

- lightweight

- machine heads

Cons

- 2-3 working days between ordering and shipping

- improper state on delivery

- flaws of finish that I don't realy care

To sum up

- it's a very good guitar for beginners and advanced players

- it costs every cent

- perhaps, it's worth of replacing pickups later

Overall Great guitar for the price

Body style and build are fantastic, a real breathtaking guitar to look at from the body and neck to the hardware.

Tuners could use some work, i may switch them out. The bridge pickup throws out some nice gain but in my experience it isnt as crisp as I'd like, sticking to the mid-low range.

Great guitar for the cost, although I had some cons, you really can't get a better guitar at the cost.

Just great

This is a serious good guitar. For the price, you have an excellent LP style rock guitat that gets the job done.

I would take this on stage anytime. It delivers the goods!
