A vintage-style single-cut

electric guitar Harley Benton SC-450Plus VB Vintage Series front

Harley Benton has always been known for offering top-quality instruments for musicians on a budget. The Harley Benton SC-450Plus is no exception and comes with the typical "single-cut" looks - complete with a solid mahogany body, a flamed maple top with flamed veneer, and a high-gloss "Vintage Burst" finish: An absolute eye-catcher! Two humbucking Roswell pickups with chrome covers provide a warm and powerful sound with plenty of growl. Beginners in particular thus have the perfect opportunity to buy an affordable guitar with an iconic look and vintage sound.

Classic looks with modern features

A body made from tried-and-tested mahogany and a set neck made from okume form the basis for this single-cut model. The two Roswell LAF AlNiCo-5 humbuckers are triggered by a three-way switch and deliver the powerful vintage sound you would expect from this type of guitar. The wide range of tonal options is completed by two volume controls with a push/pull function for single-coil operation and two tone controls for dialling in your preferred tone. The narrow C-profile of the neck and its flat body joint provide a pleasant playing feel all the way to the upper register. The laurel fingerboard with its 12" radius and trapezoid inlays is also pleasantly flat and allows fast playing for modern techniques. The DLX Kluson-style machine heads are a truly classic touch and, in combination with the chrome-plated DLX hardware, keep the guitar reliably in tune.

For beginners and single-cut fans on a budget

With its low price, the SC-450Plus is aimed primarily at beginners who have to get by on a small budget - after all, a successful start also requires an amplifier, which also has to be paid for somehow. In return, you get a feature-packed guitar and the feel of an authentic SC-style model, so that you can emulate the sound and look of your idols and start your own sessions. However, it is not only the vintage sound and the classic look that make it appealing; the more modern features - such as the neck's slim profile and flat body joint - also make for a pleasant start. In addition, the tonal flexibility provided by the splittable humbuckers also makes the guitar interesting for single-cut fans who are still looking for a second instrument or backup at an affordable price.

Flexible Rock sounds thanks to splittable humbuckers

A single-cut guitar like the Harley Benton SC-450Plus feels especially at home in Rock music thanks to its two powerful humbuckers. In particular, all of those classic vintage sounds with a lot of sustain can be produced with this guitar. The humbuckers' coil split function makes the guitar even more flexible. Genres like Jazz, Country, and Reggae can also be tackled, as well as a variety of softer sounds - partly thanks to the range of settings available via the two volume and tone pots. This guitar can thus also be used as a flexible and inexpensive backup on stage. In addition, the SC-450Plus can be played for a long time on stage and in the rehearsal room, because it is relatively light despite the solid mahogany body - a feature that might appeal to beginners as well as to most other single-cut fans.

Good Value for Money
Anonymous 19.10.2015
I was not impressed with the quality of Harley Benton?s old-shape LP copy, but they seem to have learnt from the past. This is a quality guitar. The body is a two-piece mahogany with a nice flamed top. The neck looks to be three piece, but feels good in the hand. Unlike the first generation, the binding and frets are smooth, with no sharp ends, or the binding coming off. The action is low out of the box and plays well without any setting up. The sound can be a little dark, and the pickups a touch harsh. Rolling back the volume takes some of the bite off the output. Quality wise, the guitar is as good as one would expect for the money. There are some minor imperfections under the lacquer, and around the binding. The plastic feels and looks cheap. Taking the pick guard off really improves the aesthetics. The tone and volume knobs sit several millimeters above the body, which isn?t a good look, but unlike the previous generation, there?s no play, and they turn like they should.

I would recommend this guitar to people who want an introduction to LP style guitars, but don?t want to spend a lot of money.

An absolute bargain
Michael8252 10.11.2015
This is probably the best £115 I have ever spent.
This is my second Harley Benton I have purchased in a couple of weeks. I received it yesterday expecting some issues but I can't find a thing wrong with it. Intonation was spot on , just lowered the string height a tad, tweeked the neck relief and been rocking for hours.
My previous purchase a CST 24 Tol has the same pickups which I found a little too warm so changed them out for brighter pups.
I was expecting to do the same here but in this guitar they sound perfect so will be keeping them in place.
The guitar has a nice weight and neck profile , practically the same as my Les Paul Classic and not far off in terms
of sound. Have been playing it through a cranked up Marshall and can't put it down.
It makes me question the thousands of pounds I have spent on my guitar collection. I will definitely be buying some more HB guitars, just got to find some room.

Incredible guitar for the price!
Ingemar A. 02.09.2015
When the new Harley Benton SC series was introduced I was a bit put off that they changed the shape of the body and the heel but now I love it! The high notes is far more accessible than it is on my L-500 that has the fat Les Paul style heel.

The finish is really god with just some minor flaws around the binding.
The threaded inserts is not counterbore into the body which I already knew before ordering so I took it with me to work where I could do a perfect counterbore which really enhanced the look. In the process I noticed that the flamed maple top seems to be a veneer glued on to the maple top but that was expected for such a low priced guitar.

The nut is some kind of delrin/nylon that is made really good. I intendet to put on a tusq nut as I did on my Harley Benton L-500 that had cheap plastic nut. I ended up putting the delrin nut back on after using the tusq nut for a few days since tuning the guitar was smoother with the delrin nut.

The neck has a really tiny twist in it which gives i a tiny bit more relief on the low E-string side but it´s so small it does not affect how it performs and it´s so small that a little fret levelling would do the trick.
The fret job seems to be really good with all the frets seated as they should.

The pickups sounds really good and warm and is great for clean to hard rock sound.

WOW
David4993 02.09.2015
What can I say, I ordered this guitar on a Friday afternoon and I had it in my hand the next morning the fastest delivery ever. They say a guitar is all about feel and I have to say I have owned a Yamaha RGX420 which is a very well made guitar and I've had more fun with this SC 450 than the the last year and a half with the Yamaha. This puts a smile on your face, sounds good ( for the money ), is well made and looks beautiful.I was expecting a cheap guitar and got a bundle of joy!
