In the finest hollowbody tradition
)
Harley Benton guitars have earned an excellent reputation for impressive quality at an affordable price, and the BigTone Vintage White continues this tradition, with a well-crafted hollowbody design inspired by the elegance of the 1950s. With a resonant maple body and two deluxe humbucking pickups, this instrument, in its eye-catching Vintage White finish, delivers a warm yet punchy tone suitable for many styles, while the attractive 1950s B-Style Deluxe vibrato system lets the player add a subtle and expressive touch to enhance every performance. Combined with Harley Benton's thoughtful, budget-conscious approach, this creates an inviting introduction to the world of traditional hollowbody electric guitars, where classic tone and style meet remarkable value.

Perfect for Blues and Rock
A combination of a maple body and a maple neck gives the Harley Benton BigTone Trem White its powerful, resonant sound - a character equally suited to Blues and all facets of Rock & Roll, from clean and smooth to down-and-dirty, while the pleasantly slim neck profile and 20-fret laurel fingerboard promise a comfortable playing feel in every register. The versatile and prominent sound served up by the two powerful Deluxe double-coil pickups can in turn easily be adjusted to taste via the three-way switch and individual volume controls, master volume control, and single tone control, the latter of which shapes the overall character with simplicity and precision. In addition to the vibrato, which instantly calls to mind legendary vintage hollowbody instruments, the BigTone's gold-plated hardware includes a Tune-o-Matic roller bridge with an ovangkol base and a set of Imperial-style Deluxe machine heads.
Genuine hollowbody sound at an appealing price
The Harley Benton BigTone Trem White combines all the classic advantages of a genuine hollowbody guitar while remaining true to Harley Benton's well-known, affordable pricing. This makes it a particularly attractive option for anyone making their first forays into the fascinating world of semi-acoustic electric guitars, where quality and affordability meet without compromise. Its sound is rich, warm, and full of character, naturally suited to everything Rock & Roll has to offer, from gentle rhythms to more powerful tones, yet still offering plenty of depth and personality to inspire creativity across different genres. Seasoned players, meanwhile, will appreciate the BigTone Trem White as a versatile addition to their setup – an instrument that expands their sonic palette and delivers that distinctive, full-bodied sound – all without a major investment.

Precise tonal control
A completely hollow electric guitar like the Harley Benton BigTone will naturally find its place in genres such as Jazz and Rockabilly, but is also wonderfully suited to Blues and even certain Rock styles, offering a warm and expressive character. Some caution is advised at higher volumes and with higher gain, however, as the large hollow body can resonate more freely; however, this is counterbalanced by a slightly thicker top compared to traditional acoustic archtops, which helps keep everything under control without losing the open, lively response. The control layout provides additional flexibility: Three volume controls allow a precise balance to be achieved between the two humbuckers in the middle switch position; once set, this balance can remain unchanged, while the master volume control offers a simple and effective way to tweak the overall volume.
