A perfect crossover

Harley Benton ST-Acoustic Black Thinline Steel-String Guitar

No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you: It’s a black Harley Benton acoustic in an ST shape! This design possesses all of the inherent advantages of the ST design, such as the double cutaway and slim maple neck for pure playing comfort – and its sound is also unique. Amplification is provided by an integrated pickup and the tone can be modelled to suit your taste using the guitar’s 4-band EQ. Though the ST’s spruce top and bridge are reminiscent of a traditional acoustic guitar, its thinline body is constructed largely from plastic (ABS), which makes it very light. Put it all together, and you have an interesting hybrid and a definite eye-catcher. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag with external accessory pockets and backpack straps.

Pure ST feeling

The Harley Benton ST-Acoustic Black is the perfect cross between an ST-style electric guitar and a traditional acoustic guitar – both in terms of looks and in terms of feel. The modern D profile of the neck lets the player’s hand glide up and down the fretboard with ease, while the double cutaway (a characteristic feature of ST-style guitars) provides effortless access to all 22 frets. Its surprisingly light thinline form sits perfectly against the player’s body and allows hours of comfortable playing. Although this guitar can be played acoustically, it really feels at home with an amp, and the comparatively low volume of the ABS body means that feedback issues are reduced in comparison to larger-sized acoustic guitars. The built-in pickup and the 4-band EQ provide the ST-Acoustic with all the necessary power and versatile sound adjustment you will need.

Well, I only play electric guitar…

One could argue that the Harley Benton ST-Acoustic is a perfect compromise for electric guitarists who normally have little enthusiasm for conventional acoustic guitar designs, such as the dreadnought. The ST-Acoustic is a lot slimmer and thus far less cumbersome than most acoustics, and the neck alone ensures that it feels much more like an electric guitar. This design also makes it possible to play on stage for a long time. The Harley Benton ST-Acoustic is very inexpensive and offers the perfect introduction to the world of acoustic guitars for purely electric-oriented guitarists. At any rate, this guitar will make you stand out – so if you are looking for something out of the ordinary, satisfaction is guaranteed.

Harley Benton ST-Acoustic Black with Multiply ABS Corpus Binding

Your lightweight performing partner

As mentioned already, the ST-Acoustic is the perfect on-stage companion – largely due to its lightness, its ergonomic shape, and its built-in pickup and 4-band EQ. This affordable guitar is also ideal for practising. Besides conveying the feeling of an electric guitar, it is also far quieter than a large dreadnought, for example, when it isn’t amplified – which is perfect for practising at bedroom volume, especially late at night. The guitar gig bag included in the bundle has sturdy backpack straps and allows the instrument to be stored and transported securely – whether you want to stow it among your other gear in the back of your car or maybe carry it on your bike. The accessory pockets also provide space for all manner of extra items, from tuition books through to tuners and spare strings.

In the spotlight: Roseacer

Rosewood is a particularly hard wood that has long been popular as a material for making guitar and bass fretboards. This wood is now considered endangered, however, and resources are scarce and expensive – which is why guitar makers have already spent several years searching for alternatives. The wood that Harley Benton has chosen as a fretboard material for its ST Acoustic series and many other guitars is a type of thermally treated maple known as “roseacer” (a word coined from “acer”, the name of the genus to which maple belongs). The heat treatment to which the wood is subjected reduces its water content to around three percent, which prevents subsequent shifting or warping and increases the wood’s stability while also giving it a visual appearance similar to that of rosewood.
