Harley Benton is making waves again with the DC-Custom II, a series of electric guitars that deliver classic double-cut style at an exceptional value. Available in single 6-string and head-turning 612 double-neck configurations, these guitars offer a perfect blend of affordability and performance for guitarists of all levels.
DC-Custom II – Classic Design, Modern Playability
The DC-Custom II boasts a beautiful meranti body for rich tonal resonance. The set C-shaped neck with a roasted jatoba fretboard provides a comfortable and familiar playing experience. At the same time, the 24 medium jumbo Blacksmith stainless steel frets ensure smooth string bending and playability.
Tonal Powerhouse
A pair of Tesla TM VR-Nitro Alnico-5 humbuckers provide the sonic muscle for the 6-string DC-Custom II. These pickups, controlled by a 3-way selector switch, single volume knob, and single tone knob, offer a versatile range of tones, perfect for everything from bluesy cleans to roaring rock leads.
Hardware You Can Trust
The DC-Custom II comes equipped with top-notch hardware for reliable performance and exceptional tuning stability. A graphite IV nut, DLX gold (White model) or chrome (Cherry model) hardware, a DLX Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Grover tuners all contribute to a playing experience that feels as good as it sounds.
Double the Trouble, Double the Fun (DC-Custom II 612)
For players seeking the ultimate in versatility, the DC-Custom II 612 offers a double-neck design featuring both a 6-string and a 12-string neck.
This unique configuration allows guitarists to seamlessly switch between the bright, jangly sound of a 12-string and the punchy power of a 6-string, all on one instrument.
The 612 model utilizes Tesla TM VR-60 Classic Alnico-5 pickups for the 6-string and Tesla Opus-G1 Alnico-5 pickups for the 12-string, ensuring optimal tonal performance for each neck.
Additionally, it features two separate 3-way pickup selector switches for independent control over each neck’s pickups.
Case Included!
Unlike many double-neck guitars, the DC-Custom II 612 conveniently includes a fitted case, making transportation and storage a breeze.
A Dream for Jimmy Page Fans
The Harley Benton DC-Custom II series offers an attractive option for guitarists seeking the iconic double-cut look and sound without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, these guitars provide exceptional value and inspiring playability.
