Harley Benton has long enjoyed a reputation for offering instruments of outstanding quality for musicians who don't have a fortune to spend, and the SC-450 P90 GT from the brand's Classic Series is no exception. This stylish SC-style guitar combines a poplar body with a set maple neck that has a slim C-shaped profile which, together with the 22-fret blackwood fingerboard, will ensure an extremely comfortable playing feel, perfect for those just starting out on the instrument. The guitar's attractive Gold Top finish is offset perfectly by its trapezoid fingerboard inlays and chrome-plated hardware, which includes the time-honoured combination of a Tune-o-Matic bridge and stop-bar tailpiece, while the two P90 pickups deliver the perfect sound for Blues and Rock.
The SC-450 P90 GT's poplar and maple construction gives the guitar a punchy and powerful tone, which combines perfectly with its duo of Classic P90 Ceramic Single Coil pickups when amplified to deliver the unique sound with which guitars with these pickups are synonymous. The pickups are governed by the simple but effective control layout of a three-way toggle switch and a dedicated volume and tone control for each pickup. Harley Benton has also not cut any corners in selecting high-quality hardware for this guitar, so players can rest assured that its Tune-o-Matic bridge and diecast machine heads will deliver excellent tuning stabiliy and many years of reliable service.
The Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT is the ideal instrument for beginners, who more often than not have to get by on a restricted budget but, quite understandably, still want to get their hands on the best instrument possible. Newcomers to the guitar can look forward here to a cool P90 sound and - thanks to the guitar's appealing Gold Top finish, cream-coloured pickups and matching neck/body binding, and chrome-plated hardware - start those first jam sessions with full confidence, safe in the knowledge that their single cut looks every bit as great as it sounds, whether it's at home or on stage.

SC-style guitars with P90 pickups have a sound and a character all their own, and this is very much the case with the Harley Benton SC-450 P90 GT, making it perfect for Blues and Rock & Roll in its many guises. By pairing it with a good-quality amplifier, players can enjoy a broad palette of highly usable sounds with excellent dynamics and only a minimum of noise or hum. Besides being a perfect choice for those just starting out on the guitar, the SC-450 P90 GT is also an attractive option for semi-professional musicians looking for a solid-quality single cut guitar to serve as a backup instrument.
