Harley Benton instruments have long enjoyed a reputation for delivering outstanding quality at an affordable price, and the brand also offers numerous guitars for Metal players. The EX-84 Modern EMG - shown here in its black finish - is part of Harley Benton's Pro Series and gives musicians on a budget a chance to get their hands on a high-quality instrument that doesn't compromise. This guitar features a nyatoh body and a slim-taper nyatoh set neck complete with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard that is ideal for those lightning-fast solo runs, together with a pair of original EMG humbucking pickups. This combination makes for an extremely powerful sound, while the robust hardware ensures reliable tuning stability.
As mentioned above, the use of nyatoh for both the neck and body of the EX-84 Modern EMG gives the guitar a punchy and powerful sound with plenty of sustain, and its no-nonsense circuitry - two EMG humbuckers governed by a single control each for volume and tone together with a three-way toggle switch - eliminates unnecessary hassle. The body's deep cutaway and ergonomic neck joint provide unrestricted access to the upper registers when soloing, which is made even easier by the extra jumbo frets, and the solid Tune-o-Matic bridge gives the player's picking hand a comfortable support for effortless riffing.
Fans of heavier musical styles will find in the Harley Benton EX-84 Modern EMG everything that players expect from a Metal guitar: A body that sits comfortably against the player's body and a comfortable neck profile, combined here with a pair of high-output EMG pickups that will push pretty much any amplifier into saturation and deliver a powerful and nuance-rich sound. Despite its wealth of practical features, however, the EX-84 Modern EMG is available at the kind of budget-friendly price for which Harley Benton is known, which makes this classy black guitar a very interesting proposition for those who are new to the instrument.
Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of numerous guitarists and bassists. In addition to an extensive range of stringed instruments, Thomann's house brand also offers a wide choice of amplifiers, speakers, effect pedals, and other accessories. In total, the range includes over 1,500 products. Built by established names in the industry, all Harley Benton products combine quality and reliability at attractive and affordable prices. The continuous expansion of the range ensures that Harley Benton always provides new, exciting, and innovative products that keep players perfectly in tune with the musical world, day after day.
It goes without saying that the EX-84 Modern EMG is built to unleash full-on Rock riffage when paired with a powerful amplifier and the right speakers, but players looking for clean and crunch sounds will not go short here either, thanks to the guitar's combination of an EMG 81 bridge pickup and an EMG 60 neck pickup, which offer a sonic palette that is impressive even for guitars at higher price points. And also worthy of mention are the guitar's classic EX body shape and high-gloss black finish, which ensure that it will always be an eyecatcher on stage and leave no doubt as to its Metal pedigree.
