Oh my God.

Just F***ing buy it!

See my review of

Harley Benton SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series

It says it all and the same applies.

This is even more beautiful and can be played straight out of the box. Lower the bridge a bit, adjust the truss rod to your liking, and it will be even better.

Closest thing to a real 1958 Flying V Neck you can get

My 5th HB and so far favorite of the bunch overall. Perfect balance no nose diving, weight 3.3kg, arrived in tune and perfect action, no corroded frets this time, no fret buzz, pickups sound good and the height was adjusted almost to my liking... absolutely no blemishes in the finish or the gold hardware. Despite the crazy shape of the flying V this is one nice comfortable playing guitar, great for any style you play, clean, blues, rock or metal this does it all. Highly Recommended and for the price insane not to have one.... "IF" you like guitars with chunky necks. this is one wide fat neck, 54mm wide and 25.3mm thick at the 12th fret, the HB CST-24 has 52mm and 22.7mm thick at the 12th fret. Think I got to buy another one to go with a set of Duncans I have laying around somewhere ;)

Wow

I had recently heard from HB guitars and how they were pretty nice and unexpensive. I wanted to buy another fixed bridge 6 string and decided "What the heck, let's go for it". I went for a mahogany set neck model since I only owned basswood bolt-on guitars so far (with and without Floyd Rose), and wanted to try something different.

I don't really know the brand very well, so I wasn't expecting much from the pickups. The knobs, bridge and parts looked pretty solid from the pictures.

Once I received and tried it unplugged I immediately noticed the guitar's huge resonance.

I then plugged it in to my POD HD 300, and maaaaaaaaan!! The sustain on this thing is sick!! It sounds better than any of my other guitars. The pickups are really clear! It's pretty lightweight too.

There are some aspects which I don't really enjoy that much, but they're mostly a matter of personal taste. The neck feels thick and narrow for what I'm used too, also I'm not very fond of the 2 volumes 1 tone knob configuration. The finish isn't perfect, it has minor details.

Overall, for it's price it's amazing! Would buy again!

Wow! Just Wow!

Harley Benton have done it again! This is my 4th Harley Benton and I've been blown away once again. I purchased this guitar for use in live playing with a band and for my YouTube cover channel. I also had never actually played a flying V before and was always very interested in playing one. At a price like this, what did I have to lose? :)

When the guitar arrived, I was once again baffled by the quality of the guitar based on the price! Everything from the workmanship to the action on the strings was absolutely perfect. All hardware is of exceptional quality and electronics are also perfect! After give the guitar a physical once over and being overly satisfied with the quality, it was time to plug this bad boy in.

Upon plugging the guitar straight into my amp, I was instantly blown away by the quality of the sound. The output is very nice and clarity is amazing. The Wilkinson pickups are fairly bright but have a lot of power behind them also. The guitar is actually an amazing "All Rounder" and extremely diverse whether you are playing ballads/punk/metal! Everything sounds great through those vintage style pickups.

Physically the guitar plays like butter and is incredibly sturdy and well built. It holds very comfortably and rivals my more expensive guitars all round! I also love the no frills knobs - 2 volume and 1 tone. Suits my needs perfectly! Definitely an instant favorite! If you are considering purchasing this guitar, consider no more, just go for it. You won't regret it!
