Offset baritone with P90 pickups

Guitarists who are on the hunt for an unconventional baritone guitar that won't set them back a fortune need look no further than the Harley Benton JA-Baritone model, which combines an offset-style poplar body, one-piece maple neck, and 21-fret purple heart fingerboard with a pair of P90 AlNiCo Vintage Style single coil pickups, resulting in a distinctive sounding that oozes character. The guitar's slim-taper "C" profile ensures a comfortable playing feel, while the robust hardware, which includes a set of Kluson-style machine heads and string-through-body bridge, promises a highly resonant sound with plenty of sustain - making the JA-Baritone perfect for Stoner Rock and Surf music. And to ensure that it has the looks to match its sound, the guitar's body and headstock are finished in high-gloss black that is complemented perfectly by the black hardware.

Plenty of low-end punch

Baritone guitars have thus far found only a niche market, but that is changing as more and more players grow to appreciate the expanded range and new sonic possibilities that these instruments give them. Compared to a regular guitar, the Harley Benton JA-Baritone's 762mm (30") scale length provides a tighter string tension at a lower tuning, which gives the sound a tight response and plenty of clarity that definitely come across when it is amplified thanks to its two P90 pickups. The electronics in turn have also been kept simple but effective and comprise a three-way selector switch together with master controls for volume and tone - all within easy reach on the guitar's pickguard, which provides an attractive visual contrast to the body finish thanks to its three-ply (black-white-black) design. The JA-Baritone's fixed bridge and high-quality machine heads promise reliable tuning stability, while the "strings-through-body" design will also deliver an extra dose of power - something that will always come in handy.

From Stoner Rock to Surf

The Harley Benton JA-Baritone is sure to find particular favour among fans of Stoner Rock and Surf music who are on a restricted budget but still want a guitar that combines excellent sonic versatility and a high level of playing comfort. That is precisely what players can look forward to here thanks to the JA-Baritone's twin P90 pickups and deep cutaway, which provides unrestricted access to the upper registers, and as players have long grown to expect from Harley Benton, the build quality on display here is on a par with that of much more expensive instruments and promises many years of reliable service. Players can additionally rest assured that the guitar's striking black finish and contrasting pickguard outline mean that it will always grab people's attention, whether it's on stage or at home in the sitting room.

About Harley Benton

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.

For clean, rhythm, and lead

As mentioned above, baritone guitars are tuned significantly lower than their standard counterparts, with perhaps the most popular tuning being B1–E2–A2–D3–F#3–B3 (low to high). The powerful-sounding tone that this produces is enhanced by the Harley Benton JA-Baritone BK's fixed bridge and strings-through-body design, while the versatile P90 pickups ensure that when amplified, the guitar can deliver everything from clean tones with plenty of warmth and dynamics through to powerful chunky riffs and even singing leads, making this a guitar that will capably handle the whole range of Alternative Rock styles and more. A suitable amplifier that will handle the guitar's impressive low-end response is of course recommended if players want to exploit its full sonic potential - and not surprisingly, Harley Benton has a range of high-quality, budget-friendly amps on offer that will fit the bill perfectly.
