Electric guitar: Harley Benton SC-550Plus EMG PAF, front view

Introducing the Harley Benton SC-550Plus EMG PAF, a classic-looking single cut guitar that delivers the iconic tone to match its looks thanks to a duo of original EMG active pickups. Alongside its powerful sound, though, the solid-body SC-550 also features a flamed maple top and a slim-taper neck profile that ensures a comfortable playing feel along the guitar's entire 22-fret fingerboard. Of course, the latter would not be complete without the characteristic block inlays and ivory-coloured binding, which nicely complement the other synthetic parts of this Harley Benton. And despite the affordable price, no corners have been cut when it comes to the hardware: A classic Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece combination together with a set of locking machine heads ensure reliable tuning stability at all times.

Can you hear me rocking?

The central components of this handsome single cut are its okoume body (a wood also known as Gabon mahogany) and set nyatoh neck. It's an instrument that is especially well-suited to Rock in all its forms, i.e. wherever powerful sounds are called for. The combination of woods used in its construction harmonise well with the two EMG Retro Active FAT 55 humbuckers, governed by the familiar three-way toggle switch to offer a tone spectrum that ranges from warm cleans to gritty overdrive. As one would expect from active EMGs, there are plenty of characterful dynamics to play with, and scarcely any noise: On top of that, each of the pickups has its own volume and tone control, letting guitarists personalise their sound or adapt it to the situation. Fans of slim, 60s-style neck profiles will also love the rounded shape of the neck's back; the Harley Benton SC-550 Plus EMG PAF is incredibly easy to play from the first fret to the last, thanks also to a graduated profile that goes from 20.5mm thick at the first fret to 22.5mm at the octave.

Not just for beginners

At this affordable price point, the Harley Benton SC-550 Plus EMG PAF is primarily aimed at those just starting out, as well as novice guitarists looking to improve their sound - after all, their budget also has to cover other essentials, like an amplifier. Certainly, the money invested in an SC-550 is well spent, with plenty of guitar for the price – especially the powerful pro-grade, brand-name humbuckers. This feature, which in particular makes the SC-550 a respectable all-round backup instrument, will also appeal to more experienced guitarists who have spent time on stage - as will the reliability and playability ensured by the guitar's solid hardware. Lead guitarists in particular will find the SC-550 very easy to play in the higher registers, thanks to the contoured heel at the neck joint, which isn't a feature always found in guitars of this design.

About Harley Benton

Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of countless guitarists and bassists. In addition to an extensive range of stringed instruments, Thomann's house brand also offers a wide choice of amplifiers, speakers, effect pedals, and other accessories. In total, the range includes over 1,500 products. Built by established names in the industry, all Harley Benton products combine quality and reliability at attractive and affordable prices. The continuous expansion of the range ensures that Harley Benton always provides new, exciting, and innovative products that keep players perfectly in tune with the musical world, day after day.

The epitome of Rock

Quality doesn't have to have a hefty price tag when it comes to guitars – as proven by the Harley Benton SC-550Plus EMG PAF. This solid-body's traditional look makes it an ideal way to get started in the world of single-cut guitars, and its powerful sound (thanks to the output of the two active EMG pickups) is sure to impress beginners and pros alike, the latter perhaps choosing an SC-550 as a backup instrument. The humbuckers are powered by a single 9V battery, which can be easily changed on the back of the guitar, and their active design means that they are even less susceptible to noise than passive humbuckers, which is especially beneficial when playing music that requires a lot of gain. Because the battery starts providing the pickups with power as soon as the cable is plugged in, it's best to unplug the guitar when it is not in use – this should ensure that the battery will last for a long time.

Highly recommended

RijkB 15.02.2025

Last year I bought a Fender American Ultra Stratocaster which I am very happy with. It costs a bit, but then you really have a top guitar. So I thought it was quite exciting to go for a “budget” guitar, which I couldn't even hold in my hands beforehand. The reviews on YouTube about various Harley Bentons eventually removed the doubts. And it is of course quite interesting to compare a Harley Benton with a guitar from the higher segment. I have now had the Harley Benton SC-550 Plus EMG PAF for a few days and I am not disappointed. I think it is a top instrument, especially compared to the cost. The finish is of a very high level and the guitar simply looks beautiful. What I was pleasantly surprised by is the tuning of the guitar. It is just fine and I know that is certainly not the case with every budget guitar. I may make some minor adjustments to get it completely to my taste, but that was no different with the Stratocaster. The EMGs are fine, from clear and clean to nice ripping and everything in between. In my opinion, the locking tuners are a must have and are well made. Is there nothing to complain about at all? Certainly. It is more pleasant if the cable of the 9V battery is slightly longer, which makes it easier to change. Now it's all a bit tight and it requires some fiddling to replace the battery. The covers on the back of the guitar are also made of simple plastic, but for the price of this guitar I hardly dare to find any. All in all, highly recommended!

Almost perfect

rumaso 20.03.2022

With one initial exception this is a 5 star guitar. Finish is beautiful with absolutely no flaws, action is low, fretboard and frets are level with no buzz anywhere, fret ends are excellent and intonation is spot on. Now, the only issue was that the low E locking tuner was stripped. A quick email with a video was sent and two days later a new tuner was on the way. Excellent service response! It arrived international in 3 days, just like the guitar did previously. Replaced it yesterday and now everything is perfect. I absolutely love the guitar and the active pickups.

Great guitar!

Jorode 10.03.2021

The guitar came with a very good setup, only minor tweaks to the intonation but it was not really needed. Finish was flawless, could not find any problems. Only con was that the truss rod cover was missing, it has been there so i think it was removed during setup and forgot to put in place after. But i have contacted thomann and i will get one.
Great guitar with awsome pickups, they have very good clarity and does work well whitout battery but i will use the active function with battery because it sound great.

EXCELLENT

Glon 03.02.2025

This guitar for this price is just a bargain! EMG's, stainless frets, locking tuners and really perfect finish. Nice tone, low string action ( 1.14mmE6 and 0.83mm E1) and no fret buzz (and honestly they don't look to be leveled just proper installed). Price could be easily doubled and still be a no brainer for me. I don't care about name on headstock and am sure if they will keep that quality, the future of this company is bright! And thanks fot Thomann for solving small issue, always helpful.
