Good job Harley Benton. You are keeping the budget segment happy and forcing other big names to lower prices. I am very happy with this Custom III (Desert Burst). The paint is superb, overall a beautiful guitar with a powerful sound. The only complaint is that the freetboard is a bit dry. Power to the people 🤘

Probably THE best budget SC guitar
Martin Rotter 12.09.2025
I have owned several SC guitars before and even some Bentons like SC-450 and SC-550.
Let me say one thing. SC-Custom III is much much better than SC-550. It has one of the best non-locking tuners I have ever laid my hands on. The tuning is such a pleasure now. Also, the neck somehow feels nice a thin.
Body ergonomics is spot on, all the carvings are great. It is just well-balanced guitars with unbeatable specs which could easily cost 3 times more.
The only downside is the nut which is OK-ish but definitely not great and I will replace it over time - the string spacing on it is unnecessarily too narrow, this strings are just a bit closer to each other than needed.

Sorry folks this thing plays better that any Les Paul I've ever, played and sounds so good going through my Fender Twin Reverb and my Boss Katata 3rd gen., and I've played quite a few.

The Best HarleyBenton Guitar
Giovlog 27.08.2025
When i saw this guitar i fell in love with it from the start. That glossy finish with the dessert burst is so stunning to watch. I hanged this guitar on my wall and it makes whole room glow from the beauty. The sound is just magical and the passive magnets are so shiny and high quality. The headstock with that nice logo is just fire. I gotta say harley benton outdid themselves this time.

Harley Benton SC-Custom III Desert Burst/ Amazing Guitar
Blondie. 20.11.2025
I`ve actually purchased this as a gift for my 15yr old son for Xmas, this will be his first guitar but was recommended by my brother who owns guitars of the same brand. My brother has tested it out and is now somewhat reluctant to part with it haha. My son will love it. I was torn between the Desert or Purple burst but i`m so happy with the Desert burst.
