Harley Benton SC-Custom III P90 Black

This is a very nice update to the HB single-cut range. It plays well, sounds good, came set-up out of the box very well too! Props to Thomann for binging this kind of quality at this price point.

I actually got a little flyer with mine with a photo of this guitar in it. Stating it was the model used in one of the photo-shoots. And it is actually the very same guitar in the pictures on the site. Very cool touch!

As far as the guitar goes, the nut is cut well. The frets are finished well, no sharp edges and they are nice and smooth. The finish and binding looks good. There are a few little spots in the binding to be found here and there, but that's when i really go looking for them. The fretboard material on mine is not as red as some pictures make jatoba look. It's more of a brown hue. The figuring on it is nice too. I'm sure it'll darken up a bit over time and with some more lemonoil applied.

Overall, well worth it!

Received flawlessly. This guitar is a real beauty, impeccably finished. The sound of the P90s is superb, with the midrange coming out a little more.
The neck clean sound is sublime, and the drives are excellent too. Suitable for many styles except for very heavy metal, in which case I'd recommend big, fat humbuckers. That said, it's very comfortable, no neck dive, very comfortable neck, the weight is right (I don't like guitars that are too light). It has nothing to be ashamed of when compared to the big brands, not at all! Excellent value for money, supplied with straplock, but you can use a traditional strap without any problem. The frets are well polished. Nice look, nice feel, nice finish, nice sound !
