Harley Benton SC-25th Anniversary - Review

A short review of the Harley Benton 25th Anniversary edition (single-cut) I purchased last year, with a little playing thrown in. It looks like the model is no longer available, so not linking out for this one.
Happy to answer any questions and hope this helps!

Just ordered this one (by writing to Thomann customer service, as they will probably have another final batch coming by February 24), but hearing it again I have my doubts on the pickup situation. Chose it over a HB SC-550 II, and I may to have to reconsider my choice (already own an ST-25th which is just so much better than the HB ST-62DB). So thx for the video!

Thanks for the comment! And let me know how it goes - always possible that the one I received is an outlier. Overall I like the brand and the build quality on this series is pretty great. I have a HB acoustic I ordered at the same time that's excellent so still optimistic about what HB is producing. Best of luck!

Yeah, coil spit is just not balanced you are correct. I have the same guitar, it tends to be more dark as well. I might have to do some mods later maybe put in some burst 3 so I can get a a more original sound. Mods are the way to go. I have a USA strat and PRS, but was missing the Gibson sound, but I guess the way it is just won't cut it. I will either Mod it or sale it and get a tribute or the Epiphone 59 reissue which sounds amazing. Thanks for the information, I wish I would have just saved up and got the Epiphone it is likely the best bang for the buck.

Thanks for sharing and agreed. It's not a bad guitar - the bones are there - just needs something different in the pickups as you mentioned. I'm deciding what to do this this one - modding is an option; just not sure if I have the time :) Good luck with yours and thanks for posting!
