Harley Benton's HB-35Plus semi-hollow electric guitar has proved a popular model since its launch five years ago and for £215 we're really not surprised. Now the series is expanding with four vibrant new finish options.
You can now buy the HB-35Plus in Metallic Plum, Metallic Green, Metallic Blue and Black .
The 24.72"-scale models feature a maple body with arched top, mahogany sustain block, Canadian maple neck and pau ferro fretboard and 12" neck radius. Nut width is 42mm.
There's some real versatility here with a pair of Roswell LAF Alnico 5 humbuckers and push/pull coil-splits on the two volume controls and a three-way pickup selector.
Gold Hardware, tune-o-matic bridge and Die-cast tuners round out a very solid spec. Check out some demos featuring the more established HB-35Plus finishes above and below.
