Harley Benton has announced a comprehensive refresh of its flagship single-cut series, presenting its third generation SC-Custom III with stainless steel frets as standard, and with a suite of spec options that could well position it as one of the best electric guitars under 500 bucks on the market.
This launch might be based around the brand’s familiar single-cut format, an LP-inspired six-string with a 3x3 headstock, 24.72” scale length, each with a solid meranthi body and glued-in meranthi neck, with roasted jatoba fingerboards and stainless steel frets as standard, but there is something for everyone here.
