Harley Benton has long enjoyed a reputation for making excellent-quality instruments available to players on a budget, and the SC-400 SGT is no exception. This timeless-looking single cut guitar combines a solid basswood body with a set maple neck and chrome-plated hardware, which together with its "Satin Gold Top" finish gives the instrument an understated yet eyecatching look. The SC-400 SGT comes loaded with a pair of Classic open humbucking pickups that will capably handle everything from shimmering cleans through to full-on distortion, while its slim C-shape neck profile also ensures a smooth playing feel that will make life much easier for beginners taking their first steps on the guitar.
La combinazione del corpo in tiglio americano, del manico in acero e dei classici pickup humbucker scoperti dona alla SC-400 SGT un suono pieno e caldo quando amplificata. I pickup sono controllati da un sistema semplice ma efficiente, ormai sinonimo delle chitarre single cut: il selettore a tre vie con controlli per tono e volume separati per ogni pick-up. Ad accompagnare questo formato di facile utilizzo c'è una tastiera in acero termotrattato a 22 tasti decorata con inserti a trapezio. Nel selezionare hardware di alta qualità per questo strumento, Harley Benton non ha lasciato nulla al caso: chiunque prenda in mano questa chitarra può contare su anni di affidabile servizio garantiti dalla combinazione ormai collaudata del ponte Tune-o-Matic e della cordiera stopbar con le meccaniche in stile Kluson.
The Harley Benton SC-400 SGT 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 classic Rock sound and - thanks to the guitar's sleek gold finish, gold-coloured knobs, 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.

Roseacer
Rosewood is a particularly hard wood that has long been popular as a material for making guitar and bass fingerboards. This wood is now considered endangered, however, and resources are scarce and expensive – which is why guitar makers have already spent several years searching for alternatives. The wood that Harley Benton has chosen as a fingerboard material for its SC-400 and many other guitars is a type of thermally treated maple known as “roseacer” (a word coined from “acer”, the name of the genus to which maple belongs). The heat treatment to which the wood is subjected reduces its water content to around three percent, which prevents subsequent shifting or warping and increases the wood’s stability while also giving it a visual appearance similar to that of rosewood.
