Really cool guitar for the money

Evilalve 01.09.2024

So... Let's get started.
The first thing I noticed was that the guitar was packed pretty well, so nothing broke off in shipping.
Shipping from Germany to the US took 2 days. I have more often than not had longer shipping to the US.....
There are no complaints about the workmanship. Paint is even, fingerboard is even, fretboard is steel. Groover pickups. Electronics are not bad, soldered correctly. Tesla pickups are Korean, electronics are also Korean. The guitar has D'addario strings installed. The nut is plastic, easily replaceable with bone, when changing strings.
As to me, the guitar will be on the same level with options for 400-500$. But steel frets and pickups are better for me (but it's a matter of taste).
The guitar is definitely worth money, I can recommend it to everyone

Lovely piece of kit.

Johnny was here 27.02.2026

Another hugely cost effective, great looking, playable bit of kit from my fave guitar place. I buy local when I can, but these are just so good.
Tesla Pickups. The name alone gives ya shivers... haha.
But it is indeed a very smart looking thing. And as with other HB's I've bought almost nothing to do when it arrived but bask in its glory. Give that chap who made it a hug from me. If it was a lady, give her two hugs.
Not a mark on it, fabulous stainless steel frets, stays in tune. Honestly, it is embarrassing to the big names how good this is for the cash. I only knocked off a tad for the sound as I thought it was actually a little quieter than my other guitars. Not a biggie by any means, but thought I'd mention it.

Harley Benton SC-Custom III VBK

IrishPaul 03.04.2026

Got my new Harley Benton SC-Custom III VBK today and it is absolutely phenomenal, easily one of the best purchases I’ve made. The craftsmanship completely blew me away, far exceeding anything I expected at this price. The matte finish looks stunning in person and pairs perfectly with the gold hardware, giving it a truly premium feel.
It’s an absolute joy to play, thanks to the incredibly comfortable C-shaped neck and flawless fretwork. The Tesla pickups deliver rich, full tones that sound amazing, I genuinely can’t get enough of it. Every time I pick it up, I don’t want to put it down.
Honestly, I can’t fault this guitar at all. It’s inspiring, addictive to play, and feels like a real gem. For the price, it’s an unbelievable steal, I feel lucky to own one. If you’re even considering it, just go for it, you won’t regret it!
