For a long time now, Harley Benton has been offering great-quality instruments for beginners as well as for musicians on a budget. The SC-1000 SBK from the Progressive Line is no exception and features a modern single-cut look with a solid mahogany body, a set okoume neck with an amaranth fingerboard, and a matt black finish, making it a real eye-catcher both in the living room and on stage. Two actively operated high-gain humbuckers provide a clear and powerful sound, while the deluxe gold hardware delivers complete reliability and perfectly complements the guitar's design at the same time.
A mahogany body and an okoume neck are the basis of this single-cut guitar, which feels particularly at home in the Metal genre. The two HBZ humbuckers work well with the combination of woods used, and with their high output, they offer a powerful and nuance-rich sound. Each pickup has a separate volume control, and the shared tone control allows the sound to be further adjusted to suit your personal preferences. Those who favour modern playing techniques will certainly appreciate the slim C-profile of the neck, which, along with the 24-fret amaranth fingerboard, guarantees comfortable playability - even for those who are just starting out.
As its very affordable price suggests, the Harley Benton SC-1000 SBK Progressive Line is primarily aimed at beginners who have to get by on a small budget. After all, a successful start also requires an amplifier - and that has to be paid for somehow. With this matt black single cut, you get a lot of guitar for your hard-earned money, and your first sessions can definitely start with a cool sound and looks to match. But even semi-pros who are looking for a reliable second instrument might find the SC-1000 SBK an ideal and reliable companion for both the rehearsal room and the stage.
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.
The SC-1000 serves up a sound and performance that makes it perfect for Hard Rock and Metal. Whether you are using the neck pickup for playing lead, both pickups together for crunchy riffs, or the bridge pickup for parts that require a lot of precision: The SC-1000 will do it all. The high-gain HBZ pickups deliver a clear sound and plenty of headroom, which ensures that the sound is never compressed, even at the highest distortion levels, and is always well-balanced. The active electronics are powered by a 9-volt battery, which can be easily replaced via a quick-release cover on the back of the body. Tip: To prolong the life of the battery and do both your wallet and the environment a favour, unplug the instrument cable from the guitar as soon as you have finished playing.
