Frequently Asked Questions

They exhibit some characteristic single-coil hum, but it's manageable and part of the vintage charm – not excessively noisy.
Harley Benton’s quality control is generally good, but blonde finishes can occasionally show minor inconsistencies in the wood grain – it’s part of the aesthetic.
