A single cut with EMG pickups

The Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus EMG TBF electric guitar

Over the years, Harley Benton instruments have gained a great reputation for their excellent quality and reasonable prices, and with its modern "single cut" look, the SC-Custom Plus EMG TBF is no exception to the rule. This guitar combines a solid okoumé body with a set nyatoh neck and jatoba fingerboard, and its carved AA figured maple top features a stunning "Trans Brown Flame Gloss" finish, making it a real eye-catcher. The two original EMG Retro Active Hot 70 humbuckers in turn produce a sound that is both versatile and powerful, while the sturdy nickel hardware on the top and the locking machine heads guarantee reliable tuning stability.

A fat sound and a slim neck

The okoumé body and nyatoh neck – two types of wood similar to mahogany - at the heart of the Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus EMG TBF mean that it is truly in its element playing Rock, i.e. where power and conviction are crucial. Made in the USA, the two original EMG humbuckers harmonise perfectly with this combination: Thanks to a robust three-way switch they provide a vast range of sounds which can be tailored to personal taste, aided by the separate volume controls and master tone control. Fans of modern playing techniques will really appreciate the slim C-shaped neck profile, which starts at 20.5mm at the first fret and ends at 22.5mm in the guitar's upper octave. And to top it all off, the guitar comes strung with a set of high-quality D'Addario strings right from the factory.

An ideal choice for beginners

With its affordable price tag, the Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus EMG TBF is mainly aimed at keen beginners on a budget, but also at savvy more experienced players who are looking for a second guitar at a great price. The price tag can be deceptive, however, as this single cut model boasts a wealth of features despite its affordability: It sounds cool and looks great – love at first strum, so to speak. Even more seasoned musicians who are looking for a high-quality second instrument which offers both a powerful sound and a stylish appearance will find a faithful companion in the Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus for many an adventure on stage or in the studio.

A guitar for any style of music

The Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus EMG TBF will definitely shine in any musical style, from Metal to Blues and from "clean" sounds to Rock in all of its many guises, and its duo of EMG humbuckers will mesh seamlessly with a wide range of sounds - from singing leads using the neck pickup and crunchy rhythms with both pickups engaged through to full-on riffage with the bridge pickup, players have the whole palette to choose from. The transparent sound of the two active pickups is also complemented by plenty of headroom and low background noise, so the sound is never excessively compressed, even at maximum saturation, and will sit perfectly in a band context. Last but not least, this guitar's great playability and its eyecatching transparent brown flame finish and flamed maple top make it a serious competitor to significantly more expensive guitars.

Very Happy

I am impressed with the guitar overall. I am very happy with the looks, sound, and feel. It plays like a much more expensive guitar. I like it so much I ordered another Harley Benton guitar after having it less then a week. The only negatives are there's a little fret buzz on low E due to the low action setup, and the B string doesn't hold a tune like the other strings. These are minor and easily fixed. Love the guitar overall.

Best sound I have

I have several guitars, HB and Fender. This is my favourite. Selector Switch is a bit iffy, but I think this'll work out fine eventually.

EMGˇs are good, binding is better than on previous models SC Custom, neck heel is much more comfortable. I was very surprised by the weight of the body it is much lighter than SC Custom but although it is much lighter the guitar is out of balance. Balance is towards the neck which I donˇt like. In my opinion it would be rather heavy but have more stability. If youˇre playing mostly sitting thatˇs not an issue. Played one gig with guitar out of the box and I was satisfied in overall

Very nice instrument
Ray K. 15.07.2021
The build quality and and finish are perfect on my guitar. The setup and playability was perfect out of the box. The action was comfortably low with no bussing and the intonation was perfect as well. The guitar plays so well that I can't put it down some days. My only 2 gripes are: 1. the EMG Hot 70's don't have the bottom end I like for heavy palm muting. 2. The weight balance is off as another reviewer has mentioned. Neither of these gripes changes how much I like this guitar. I can dial in more bottom end with the amp and I've added some weight to the rear cavity cover to help the balance. I don't play standing up very often so it's not that big of an issue. To me this doesn't look, feel, play or sound like a budget guitar.
