This Harley Benton kit is a seriously cool project for intermediate builders wanting a vintage-voiced guitar. The P90s give you that raw, snarling tone, and the Rengas body offers a unique sonic signature waiting to be unlocked with a finish. It’s a fantastic way to get a quality instrument at a budget-friendly price, as long as you’re comfortable with a little DIY.

Frequently Asked Questions

A clear coat or a thin, even layer of lacquer will work well, but thorough sanding may be needed to avoid any pore filler issues with staining.
While not as tonally integrated as a set-neck, the bolt-on design allows for easier adjustments and replacements, offering practical benefits.
The shorter scale makes bending strings easier, but can slightly alter the string tension and intonation, which may require adjustments.
