HB Custom Line HBJ-45E
The HBJ-45E comes with a solid Sitka spruce top that gives it a warm, balanced sound. This model comes in the round shoulder dreadnought format, a more traditional body shape that, in combination with the Satin Black finish, gives this acoustic a timeless and classy vibe.

Its mahogany body and neck create beautiful-sounding resonances and endless sustain. In addition, the Ovangkol fretboard with a 14″ radius offers enough room, both for chord strummers and pluckers. Furthermore, the 20 frets with added dot inlays make getting your fingers in the proper position easy. The 25.5” scale length and 1.7″ nut width make this guitar comfortable to play.
A Stylish design with loving details
The cream binding on the body further underlines the guitar’s classy vibe, while the Ovangkol bridge and graphite saddle ensure it’s stable and sounds great.

The open-gear, aged nickel tuners give the guitar a vintage look and ensure precise tuning. To make sure everything sounds perfect live, the HBJ-45E also has the Harley Benton HB-03 preamp with integrated tuner.
The preamp also includes a three-band EQ. That way, you can shape the preamp’s sound to suppress feedback or adapt to different PAs or room acoustics.

The Harley Benton Custom Line HBJ-45E Satin Black is the perfect companion for any type of music, whether you play folk, rock, blues or country. It’s ideal for solo performances in your living room or in the studio, as well as for your next gig.
