An offset classic with a modern twist

The Harley Benton JA-60CC, shown here in its Inca Silver finish, is aimed at guitarists who are in search of a true legend at an affordable price. This guitar features an offset-style basswood body and a roasted maple neck with a slim C profile and 21-fret laurel fingerboard that ensures a comfortable playing feel, and it comes loaded with a pair of Roswell single coil pickups that provide a full sound even in the bridge position. The combination of a classic early 60s-style finish and chrome hardware (complete with Kluson-style machine heads and a Tune-o-Matic bridge and stop-bar tailpiece) also ensures that it has the looks to match its distinctive and characteristic sound.

Perfect for Indie and Co.
The Harley Benton JA-60CC pays tribute to some of the classic guitars of the past and, while it will capably handle Jazz, will feel most at home in Indie and Alternative music. Its simple yet effective circuitry includes a three-way toggle switch for pickup selection as well as master volume and tone controls to allow guitarists to adjust the sound according to their personal preferences, and both the conveniently placed controls and the two Roswell pickups are installed on a cream-coloured pickguard that covers about half of the guitar’s top. Speaking of the pickups: Despite their similar appearance, these are not P90s but rather “conventional” single coils, albeit with wider, flatter windings that provide a richer and deeper sound than their taller, narrower counterparts. The fixed bridge and the reliable machine heads that adorn the natural-finish headstock in turn ensure reliable tuning stability.

Alternative sounds on a budget
Fans of Alternative or Surf music who have to get by on a small budget will certainly appreciate the Harley Benton JA-60CC’s affordable price. The guitar offers a great sound for Indie music thanks to its particularly flat, wide single coils, while the offset body’s deep cutaways mean that its impressive playing comfort does not end at the 12th fret. The JA-60CC’s excellent build quality can rival that of more high-priced instruments, so players can rest assured that they have made a solid investment and can enjoy the instrument for many years to come. And alongside the guitar’s distinctive sound, the authentic 1960s Inca Silver finish will also make it a guaranteed eyecatcher both at home and on stage.
