Not a toy!

Harley Benton ST-Junior HSS SBK Electric Guitar

Despite its compact size and a scale length of just 492 millimetres, the Harley Benton ST-Junior HSS SBK is far from being a toy - quite the opposite, in fact: It represents a fully-fledged short-scale electric guitar with a familiar feature set, including 21 frets, a humbucker in the bridge position and single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions, plus a five-way switch and dedicated volume and tone controls. This model is tuned five semitones higher than the full-sized equivalent, yet it retains the feel and versatility of larger models. Its size makes it an excellent choice for beginners taking their first steps on the guitar, but it will also appeal to more to experienced players seeking a travel-friendly guitar or experimenting with alternative tunings, delivering genuine musical performance that belies the ST-Junior's diminutive size and affordable price tag.

Pickups on the Harley Benton ST-Junior HSS SBK

A real short-scale guitar

The Harley Benton ST-Junior HSS SBK plays almost like a full-size guitar in the upper registers, with a tuning that is only shifted up by one string compared to a standard guitar, making it quick and intuitive for players to get comfortable. The pickup selector switch and the volume and tone controls also operate just like those of a full-size model. The strings in turn run through the body, while the black die-cast machine heads at the other end of the guitar's maple neck keep the factory-fitted .009 - .042 strings firmly anchored, and the poplar body keeps the instrument lightweight and easy to handle, even for younger players. With a humbucker in the bridge position, the instrument delivers powerful tones that are ideal for Hard Rock and other heavy genres, and the two single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions provide a wide range of clean sounds, from bright and twangy to warm and balanced, all accessible via the pickup selector switch.

For young and old

The Harley Benton ST-Junior HSS SBK is first and foremost a junior electric guitar designed for children and young beginners, with a lightweight poplar body, a suitable scale length, and reliable electrical and mechanical components that help make learning a smooth and frustration-free experience. After all, nothing holds a beginner back more than a guitar that is too heavy, too large, or constantly going out of tune. At the same time, the instrument will also appeal to adult guitarists, offering many of the possibilities of a full-size guitar while delivering a distinctly different feel and sound in a more compact form and, at a modest price, providing a wide range of impressive tones that make for an entertaining and engaging performance on stage.

Holy s**t

For a half scale guitar, this is so playable and so fun, it's crazy. Forget getting it for your kids, get one for yourself, you won't be able to put it down. Pair this with a portable mini battery amp and you can just throw it in the backpack and go! It will stick out of the backpack ofc, but still. Awesome fretwork for a 99$ guitar, I didn't have to file anything down. The value for the money pretty much blows my mind :) Put some heavy strings on it to be able to tune it in standard.

A great choice for a little beginners 5+ yo
Mayne 25.11.2025
I bought this guitar for my 5,5yo son. He enjoys it very much. I'm really happy that the Thomann consultant Moses talked me over from buying bigger more expensive Ibanez micro with two humbuckers, because the bigger guitar would be less convenient for small hands. Bless him. He saved me from kid's disappointment. I'm really happy you have such professionals.

I had a tough choice between a classic travel Kremona with nylon strings and something electric. I followed my son's wish, because for me his passion and wish is more important than easiness for play. If he wish, he masters anything, I thought. It seems i haven't mistaken yet.

The box contains:
- The guitar itself
- The necessary toolset for fixing strings and fret height.
- Poor 3m cable that is better than nothing
- documents
Pros:
- Awesome fretwork: flawless. Doesn't need any fixes with a rasp.
- Prepared well: strings height is good, The scale is well fit. All screws are tight.
- The dark-gray paint looks absolutely amazing.

Cons:
- I noticed that sometimes plug is disconnected: had to disassemble the plug socket: it turned out the plug sometimes touched the internal wires. Now fixed.
- No tremolo machine: a bless for beginners.
- Sounds like a cheap one. But it could be perceived as a joke if I said that it's unexpected. 99 Euro! And it sounds! I heard some guitars 5 times more expensive and they sounded worse.

Cons:
- It's small, so the tune is A-based (while normally it's 2.5 tones lower -- to E). But this fact is articulated well in the description.
- The pickguard doesn't look so impressive as the rest of guitar. And also my son made a lot of deep visible scratches on it on the first day of play. Probably that's intended.

Experience of 5,5yo player:
He is amazed by how the guitar looks and it is felt in hands. The sound is pretty good for a cheap one and is absolutely enough for a young beginner. The belt had to be remade for him. If you are taking a belt as well, you need 20 cm shorter versions than a standard adult one. Probably, for the one for ukulele.

I also got an attempt to change the strings from 9ths to 12ths under my kid's pressure. He wanted to have the same scale with my guitar. I asked several times and warned that probably the strings will be too tough to play for him. He confirmed and reconfirmed he is sure. I spent 1.5 hours to change the strings and tune the bridge. When it was ideal, the little player said it's impossible to play and cried very loud. =\
Changing back to nines.
Do not make such a mistake. 12ths are too tough even for me.

Overall: it's the best choice for little beginners. Very satisfied with the good buy.

This guitar is a beginners dream. I would recommend parents to buy it to thair kids as a first guitar. (if the parents know how to show use of the el. guitars; if not buy a nylon acoustic). But mine has problems with the pins (that hold the strings) falling out when changing strings. (That can be fixed with a little glue) It has issues with the bottom string (6th) when hitting to hard (It flobs). It could use locking tuners, the electrics sound great. It can be tuned up to Bb but a controlled touch is needed. I use it mostly in the G# standard tuning with a set of 9-42 and a light pick (0.70). It's very resonant and very fun.

Perfect beginner electric guitar
addz 13.02.2024
I have been playing guitar for 30 years and I'm shocked at how good this thing is. For 85 quid it is a gem.
I got this for my 7 year old for her first "proper" guitar. She has only just started and she absolutely loves picking this up and playing. It is the perfect size for her.
Sounds great, set-up wasn't bad - action and intonation was pretty good out of the box and I think it looks great. 85 quid!?!?
I might "borrow" it for a gig ;)
