Ok, I've been singing the praises of the Harley Benton guitar line over at Squier Talk. One of the fellows over there pointed out that the Guitar Center in NYC had a SC550 for $99. I couldn't whip out the credit card fast enough. $108 with tax. Looks like it's in great shape. I'm going into the city tomorrow to pick it up. Can't wait !!! Happy Guitar Day to me. (BTW ... how do I insert a picture from my computer??) www.squier-talk.com/media/sc550.10498/

Ignore - trying to insert a picture. It's not working. Most on here upload photos to post image, there is a sticky on how to do it. In the FAQ section. Congrats on the new guitar.

Hi Eddie there's an app on mobile phones and iPad called Tapatalk that's used by a few members here to upload pictures. Download the free app to your phone search Harley Benton Club, sign in, load photos on thread. Very easy to use.

Congrats - what a deal if it is really a SC-550.
You could use imgur.com and paste the link here in the post. That´s my preferred way of doing it.
Which color is it?

See if you can hit this link? www.squier-talk.com/media/sc550.10498/How can I complain about $99? Smokes. Plus, it's a nearby Guitar Center. I have to drag my wife to come get it with me, as there's no parking in TImes Square. The last thing I want is to get a parking ticket or my car towed. Then the $99 Harley Benton becomes a $400 Harley Benton. ha ha I'll take more photos when I get home I'm excited. Lots of people in the USA trying to sell their HB's on CL and FB for the at or above the new price. People aren't stupid. It's the internet age. A google search can instantly provide a new price. Someone is trying to sell a used SC450 for almost $400. Others are pricing used HB's close to $300. They'll be keeping their HB's for the rest of their lives.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Wilkinson is most certainly a POSITIVE! I really dislike these new Roswell pups. So if its an old model maybe you got lucky and got a Rosewood fretboard with it instead of the Roseacer! Congrats!

This is good. I really like the feel and tone of this guitar. It's got the weight that I covet. Feels like a real LP. How do you pull the knobs off? The knobs are recessed into the body. But it's a thought for the future. This is a nice one stock. Came spotless ... but I was the dumb dumb who scratched it while trying to pry open the back cover plate. Argh !!!

Not sure how to remove those knobs as those are recessed into the body. Check you tube land or even send email to Thomann, as their guitar department is sually helpful and answer within 2-3 days.
