Harley Benton 8 String Jazzmaster - Andrew Baena Sig

[lattjeful]

Looks pretty cool! Single EMG 81X in the bridge (and at the correct spot!), a nice seafoam green, and a roasted maple neck. It's a Harley Benton so it'll be like $2. Might grab one as a dumb riff stick.

I'd never get it but I must appreciate such a simple (and comparatively cheap) instrument, an 8-string multiscale Jazzmaster no less, even being made and offered.

Black body and headstock binding on the sfg are meh... Waiting to see more about the other one

 

[Pietjepieter]

This thing is cool

I'm not a fan of Andrew Baena's music or even really 8 strings, but I kind of want one of these if they're cheap enough.

My thoughts exactly. Other than that, not too, too bad...

idk what harley davidson's cost these days but I'd buy it for tree fiddy

Literally nothing about this is a Jazzmaster

I mean sure electronics wise but the silhouette is pretty unmistakable

Looks like a Jaguar to me

I can't tell if you're joking or not lol

The Jag and Jazz have their obvious differences but the body shape/silhouette look pretty much the same.

My only real concern about this would be a double thicc neck. I've played a few harley davidsons and their necks were always thiccer than I liked. One of them to be fair was about the cheapest guitar they offer and the neck must have been close to a full inch like a warmoth boat neck.

Have they slimmed down or are they still using tree branches?

Yeah. This is an offset, not a Jazzmaster or Jaguar.

 

[Emperor Guillotine]

That thing looks like an abomination. But I guess that is just par-for-the-course with Harley Benton after all since HB is a budget brand that makes guitars for $2, and all of their “endorsed artists” with signature models are YouTube “content creator” shitlords.

 

[somethingsomething]

For some reason the alignment of the bridge and pickup looks just slightly off to me and I can't deal with it.

Honestly, at the price point I'm sure this'll be at, I'd just sand it down myself

I'm definitely interested. Might be a cool addition on the cheap to mod and make a beast out of...

no

 

[Lada The Great]

Not sure if I hate it or like it. I feel like it would look much better in gloss black. For some reason the sfg underlines its' amoeba like aesthetics.

SHHHHH! Someone finally made a guitar that wasn't gloss black. Don't ruin this for us, man!
