Mighty axe for little cash

Dazmulls, 14.08.2017

Use - Just for messing about at home.
Fancied a LP as I was interested in a guitar with humbuckers.

For the money this is just amazing. Matt finish looks cool and is very smooth to the touch. There seem to be some light scratches on the back of the neck in the wood before the finish was applied. You can barely see it but you can feel it, this does not however have any negative effect when playing. No big deal. Fret board is fine. inserts are a little untidy in places. Frets seem to be level and no sharp edges. Could do with a polish as they are just the slightest bit 'grainy' and can be felt on some frets more than others when bending. Pick guard was sharp in places and could do with a sanding. Apart from these niggles It is amazing what just over £100 will get you from Harley Benton.
Order placed on Friday, delivered Monday. Well packaged and unbelievable delivery again from Thomann. Thanks guys.

Im not really a pickup snob , I usually find I can get the sound Im looking for with a bit of fiddling on the Amp (Vox VX1), so yeah, pickups sound fine to me.

Everything is well put together and seems to be built like a tank, a heavy shovel for sure.

Will prob change the strings at some point but what is there are fine. I am HUGELY impressed with my first HB and will def be purchasing again if I can hide them from the wife lol.

Anyone looking for a usable, 'wallet friendly' instrument , you will not find better in this price bracket.

Great LP for the price

DHink182, 22.04.2020

I've had my eye on this particular Benton for a while, and since we're in lockdown right now, I figured now would be as good a time as ever to test one of these out. I was surprised by how quickly it came given all the current circumstances -- ordered on March 31, and arrived on April 19. Not bad for international shipping, let alone during a global pandemic.

I've been playing it nonstop for the last two days now, and I don't regret ordering this for a second. I had my worries about it getting beaten up during the shipping process, but upon inspection, there were no issues, aside from a bit of the finish rubbed off near the headstock and first fret. The factory setup is great -- a very low comfortable action, with no fret buzz present. The pickups are quite serviceable, and running it through the Boss Katana, I was very impressed.

Kudos to Thomann and the Harley Benton brand for making this guitar available for a super affordable price. You really can't go wrong with this one.

Stealth Classic

AllJaktUp, 17.05.2020

Pro: Matte black finish is so nice and with a swap of the tuners to a black version it looks even better. Set up was great, no fret sprouting. Inlay work is all fine and no dead frets.

Cons: Tuning keys feel cheap but swapped them out with some black ones that are a bit better. Pickup toggle switch seems a bit loose but seems to function without falling out of selection. The nut seems a little rough and is plastic but seems to function fine.

Overall: The bridge seems to be a standard setup and functions fine. The finish is nice, no binding but that's fine with me. Fret work was fine out of the box, no sprouting and no dead frets. The action isn't the lowest but is completely playable. Overall I would totally buy again and recommend to anyone either starting out of looking for a solid second, third, fourth or fifth guitar to add to the collection.

Wanted a Matt LP with Humbuckers......

Jan Strydom, 13.11.2017

Perfect right out of the box and for a 100bucks, just shut up and play it.

Love the Matt finish but it needs a little more care, not a single mark or flaw on this guitar, Frettboard needed a little oil, needs a little setup but what can you say for the price, marvelous value, great looks and plays just fine. I have owned much more expensive guitars and fancy names that were far worse................I have several new HB's guitars in my Cart, that should say it all....Do I recommend the HB SC 400................Yes!!
Must say that Cory Mura and Henning from EytschPi42 are great ambassadors for HB.........
