Musical instruments and equipment

Guitars and basses

Stringed instruments—primarily guitars and basses—and amplifiers account for most of Harley Benton brand revenue. The product lines target those who are purchasing entry-level and intermediate level instruments. The entry-level guitars typically have basswood bodies. More expensive models typically other woods, such as Sapele and figured Maple, and better hardware.

Amplifiers

Harley Benton offers amplifiers for electric, acoustic guitars, and bass guitars.

Other instruments

The Harley Benton brand also includes banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, diatonic harmonicas, electric violins, electric violas, and lap steel guitars.[2]

Guitar OEM vendor

Harley Benton guitars are manufactured in around 20 factories in the Far East in China, Indonesia and Vietnam.
