Harley Benton - Aeolus -

Our Aeolus guitar feels at home in so many musical arenas across blues, jazz, rock, pop and beyond. Combining the polished character of a semi-hollow with the rock’n’roll DNA of a single cut design, the Aeolus has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. The body is crafted from mahogany for tonal depth and warmth, paired with a smooth-playing roasted maple neck with a snappy response that feels amazing to play. A pair of Tesla VR-2 Alnico-5 humbuckers deliver rich, textured cleans, with plenty of growl on tap for hotter rock tones; if you need even more variability, use the coil split feature for first-class single-coil sounds. The Harley Benton - Aeolus is an awesome package of refined tones, superb features and a great playing experience that will leave you wanting more.

YOUR STYLE. YOUR GEAR.

Cool guitar, I'd love to hear one in a jazz context!

[SwainBjornstrandt]

You seriously stepped up the game, lookswise. Props to you guys. These instruments are really beautiful.

[AlexandruCojocaru]

This and the new SC-550 II are on my list. Glad to see Harley Benton releasing higher-specs models. Hopefully the quality will be a bit more consistent, too.

Oh wow!!! Just wow!!! I'm lucky guy if I did not spend money for new guitar before I watch this video! Most beautiful guitar from HB!

FINALLY. A Semi hollow guitar with backplate access. Could never pay for a guitar that needs to have the electronics squeezed through the F - Holes. Not enough patience if repair was needed. Probably going to have to get one of these now...

Maybe on the next new style of guitar, Harley Benton should try doing a guitar that you normally wouldn't see as a semi hollow. Potentially a Jazz Master or SG Style semi-hollow guitar. Get wild with it. Harley Benton is doing great stuff.

[ManfredElsingBielefeld]

Hi folks!Thx for your presentation from this HB´s!I own such a guitar and i will keep it!Such good instrument, very good pickups!!realy!Very good tuners!!Nice woods and a very nice looking guitar!You can play Rock;heavy, jazz/rock, funk, indie ..means you can use the aelous for many styles!! Only the change i did is to overwork the neckprofill!Now it is been thinner and more to a real C-profile;the result is amazing!!!The price with 400 euro is mere then ok;thanks Harlay Benton!

I've never liked semi hollow guitars. No brand. No shape. Not ever. However this satin aeolis is absolutely stunning. I'm a metal head, but have been considering something like this to make pretty music with. This is hands down the winner. It's gorgeous, and sounds just as good. Just wow! Harley Benton is killing it. I have one of their kit guitars and it's the best $75 I've ever spent. I can't imagine how good this guitar is, but I'm going to find out. Thank you for existing Harley Benton.

I can heartly concur on the back plate access being a sanity saver. I loved it at first glance, so I grabbed a Frost Flame. My Epi "clownburst" Alleykat is now starring daggers at me ...

[davidmoss]

Absolutely fantastic in every aspect can’t wait to play one for myself, it’s looking very promising we’ll done who designed it.Nice demo too.

[michaelhockney]

A Swiss Army Knife does everything really quite well. Pickups are strong. Kind of like buying a used Jaguar (Ford) S Type, fast, powerful, nimble and just as good as a Beemer at a fraction of the price. You can also get at everything, there are rear cavity access plates! Very impressed, and I do not impress easily. A great all round stage guitar.

Bravo Benedikt.. Belle revue de cette Aeolus qui me plait vraiment ! Nice review of this Aeolus which I really like!

[nikkmorse]

Now that's a stunning looking piece of kit, I love the frost flamed version especially..sound epic too 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼 (now I need to beg my wife for 1 more guitar)

[steffenschmidt]

Hallo Team Thomann, gibt es eine Review mit der Sc550 Paf mit den Tesla Opus 1 Humbuckern?Oder sind das die im Video 🎶 Hören sich übrigens sehr cool und speziell an✌🏽🎸💯 Vielen Dank und Grüße

[aidantod]

Frost flame is great. Great design and look. have to get one…..

[chrisredding]

Love it. As soon as you offer one in 'natural', I'm in. :-)

[DMSProduktions]

Nice. I saw this on Richie's channel last week!
Sounds good, but those F holes are a tad OUT of proportion with the guitar!

[NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Stainless steel frets are always the best choice

[Caziolin]

Semplicemente bellissima, un suono stupendo!

[AlainChatignon]

Thanks Benedikt. I'm waiting for the money to give it to me
