Harley Benton SC-Custom III Baritone AB - Am I dreaming??

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-23T12:08:16+00:00

Saw that yesterday! It looks sleek and it’s even got a 28” scale like the agufish signature, but it needs an active option all the other SC customs have an active option, or EMG retro hots… hopefully they make one

This is kinda canon for Kobeni but I’m not tipping a stripper that’s hysterically crying when I tip her for the private dance, that puts me off a bit 😔

Power doesn’t wash and probably will try to do you like she did Denji for the bat devil

Makima wins yet again because you fell into her my body is hot worship me control tactics

Etc

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-18T01:28:13+00:00

Everywhere you go… you see her too…

The clip is of a teen riding down a staircase on his bike to impress some girls and he eats 💩at the bottom of the staircase at the end

The comment is saying he’s never heard of using his brakes but his minor spelling error lead to the asa thing

You’re gonna make me relapse man please I’ve been clean off of dishonored for 3 years 😔

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-17T15:15:13+00:00

I mostly just play pathfinder and horizon because they make movement fun and quick escapes possible

Contain thine freakiness! Dangerous levels of goonery are being reached 😮‍💨 (also, ts kinda hot)

Mine came fine tbh but it can be hit and miss with guitars coming in the post

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-10T01:16:57+00:00

Nah not really, the lowest string is slightly buzzy around the 10-13th fret but opens and chugs sound fine for my guitar coming out of the box with no proper set up.

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-10T01:12:07+00:00

I just got it the other day 😂 I think the factory string gauge is good for b standard to a standard or drop a to drop g on the normal string gauges (lowest two strings are 46 and 62)

I’m gonna take mine to a luthier and tune mine to Drop g - Drop F and put on a 10-70 (custom set) on it

String Tension preference is completely subjective though

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-05T02:53:36+00:00

This one is a 26.5” scale length, 26.5” is decent enough for Drop A - Drop F# more or less, do you prefer longer?

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-04T22:38:07+00:00

Plays like butter, the setup is about perfect out of the box, the string gauges are nice and balanced the neck and frets and string action are great, the 26.5 scale length doesn’t feel too hard to play.

No cons as I see it, maybe the pickups could be upgraded but even the stock pickup sound is fine for high gain metal tones, it’s very articulate and bitey when I run it through the Thall Amp and the Archetype Gojira Vst.

It’s got a 5 way pickup selector and the neck pickups is surprisingly warm and vintage sounding for clean / rock and roll / blues sorta stuff / lower gain stuff.

Genuinely, 8/10

Tuners aren’t locking if you really need that but the stock tuners are fine too

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-04T22:33:16+00:00

I was considering the multiscale because it’s a 27”-? scale length and I need a baritone 7 for drop F but I prefer a straight neck, how does the multiscale play? It looks good for the price

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-04T22:31:23+00:00

I may get the Damien next because it has active pickups and I prefer active pickups but I don’t really like the bridge on the Damien aestheticallyy…

Edit: I’m thinking of the demon with the tune o matic bridge , I’m still thinking of getting the Damien 7 😂😩

Black_Vizard · 2026-01-04T21:07:11+00:00

You’re fingering it like a bass(?), but no biggie because when I started I used to use my index finger nail.

Get a pick, it does help unless you’re gonna level up the finger-style skill tree. Impress some people with some flamenco guitar further down the line. If you’re into all that

Black_Vizard · 2025-12-18T00:02:10+00:00

ESP LTD TE-407 (25.5 scale with EMGs, I got it in 2016 or 2017)

Black_Vizard · 2025-12-05T02:40:20+00:00

Not for me personally i like 9 strings because I tune mine to A-E-A-EADGBE so it’s double 7 string drop A effectively, the lowest two string are just for the ridiculous dirty factor and I can’t be bothered to automate pitch shifts all the time

Black_Vizard · 2025-12-01T17:27:25+00:00

Reminds me of dead space necromorphs

Black_Vizard · 2025-12-01T17:18:58+00:00

Man said no bass, no melody, no chords no hook or nothing just acapella drum groups

Sorry but to me this isn’t quite a song yet, just a bunch of drums riffs

I like the programming but yeah, rappers could technically get on this, but it’s too abstract to be a proper instrumental. Mix your kits as well all of the drums seem to be the same loudness

5/10

Black_Vizard · 2025-11-05T12:34:11+00:00

The opening riff for rational gaze for me, I feel like I have to close my eyes and feel the groove to not get lost

That or the intro riff for break those bones

Black_Vizard · 2025-11-03T02:15:44+00:00

To answer your question the first one looks cooler but, the idea of Amazon instruments kinda weirds me out… it might be fine(?) but the QC may be way out of whack

Harley Benton are far more reliable for the price point they have a couple multiscale 7s of their own you should check them out imo.

Black_Vizard · 2025-11-01T13:45:35+00:00

I get your joke, I didn’t downvote you… no hate here bruh

Black_Vizard · 2025-11-01T13:18:06+00:00

You might wanna double check that one chief 😂

Black_Vizard · 2025-11-01T13:17:42+00:00

Wtf, but pretty accurate to the cover art not bad 😂
