  • Harley Benton R-446

    Best For: Metal & Shred



  • Harley Benton Fusion-T HT EMG

    Honestly? This guitar plays like a mid-tier Schecter, something like the Sun Valley Super Shredder, but at less than half the price. If you covered up the headstock and handed it to me blindfolded, I’d swear it was a $1,000+ guitar from Schecter or Charvel.

    Best For: Metal, Rock & Thrash

And yet, this is exactly what the Harley Benton SC Custom VBK delivers…
