This left-handed Harley Benton is a seriously cool package for the budget-conscious 8-string player.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted maple is kiln-dried to a lower moisture content, making it more stable and often resulting in a slightly brighter, more resonant tone and a smoother, less sticky feel, particularly in varying humidity.
The transition is relatively gentle on this model, but you might notice a slight change in string tension and feel across the fretboard – it's generally considered a positive adjustment for playability.
It excels with modern high-gain amps for metal, djent, and progressive rock, but the pickups are versatile enough to handle heavier rock and even some clean tones with the volume rolled back.
