Harley Benton's previous Satin Black electric guitar models have proved very popular for metal fans looking for a bargain or a project to mod, and the new JA-20HH Active SBK is going to be of special interest to fans of Slipknot man Jim Root's offset signature model. And there's no tone control in sight. 

It's also joined by the Victory Active SBK V-shape. Both feature HBZ active humbuckers are are priced at just £140 for the JA-20HH and £175 for the set neck Victory Active.

Check out the full specs below.
