Musical instruments and equipment

Guitars and basses

Stringed instruments — primarily guitars and basses, as well as amplifiers — account for most of the revenue for the Harley Benton brand. The product lines target entry-level and intermediate musicians. The entry-level guitars typically have basswood bodies. More expensive models typically have maple tops and more advanced hardware by manufacturers that include Grover, Gotoh Gut Co.,Ltd., and Trev Wilkinson.

Amplifiers

Musikhaus Thomann offers Harley Benton amplifiers for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars. The amplifiers have amp heads and combos, which sometimes are coupled with amp modelling technologies. Musikhaus Thomann sells Harley Benton low-power, all-tube guitar-amplifiers configured as amp heads or combos — and can be coupled with amp modelling technologies. Musikhaus Thomann also sells Harley Benton amplifier cabinets.[2]

Other instruments

The Harley Benton brand also includes banjos, ukuleles, diatonic wind instruments — such as harmonicas — electric violins, electric violas, and lap steel guitars.[3]

Guitar OEM vendor

Harley Benton guitars are manufactured in China by the Saein Musical Instrument Co., Ltd., a South Korean OEM vendor who, in 1991, successfully launched an independent factory in Gaomi, China. Saein also manufactures its own brand of guitars, Shine, and also manufacturers guitars for Ibanez, Epiphone, and Peavey.[4]
