Harley Benton updates its ever-expanding lineup with new semi-hollow electric guitar and bass
Harley Benton has released two new semi-hollow models: the HB-50 bass and HB-35 Plus six-string electric guitar.
Arriving in Cherry Red and Vintage Orange colourways, the HB-50 pairs a semi-hollow design with an arched top, with a Canadian maple body and neck, 22-fret Amaranth fingerboard and a cream binding on the body and neck for a touch of visual class.

Elsewhere, the bass boasts two Artec MMC4 Vintage Alnico 5 humbucker pickups for smooth, warm tones that emulate vintage records, and a control layout comprising a volume knob, a tone knob, and a three-way switch. The DLX chrome hardware keeps the tuning stable, too.

As for the HB-35 Plus, it has a vintage-style tremolo system and a semi-hollow maple body with an arched top and an Okoume sustain centre block to reduce feedback. The nato set-neck and laurel fingerboard give it more tonal richness, while the vintage-inspired Roswell LAF-N and LAF-B Alnico 5 humbucker pickups offer a wide tonal palette.
The TS01 B-style tremolo gives you a classic ‘shimmer’ sound, while the DLX TOM01 Tune-O-Matic bridge makes sure of tuning stability, while also sporting an eye-catching design. Other visual appointments include a Satin Olive Drab finish and cream multi-ply body binding.

In July, meanwhile, Harley Benton shared its new SC Custom III guitar, the latest edition to its SC line. It’s available in a whole range of finishes and variations, and, per the company, was “crafted to deliver exceptional performance” and “designed for players who demand a rock solid instrument that is versatile, whether it’s for laying down smooth grooves or unleashing fiery riffs.”
