Welcome to SkunkWerx Guitars, USA!

Home of "The Better Benton"!

At The SkunkWerx Labs, we definitely have the "Better Benton"! Check our feedback, and see why nobody does Harley Benton better than SkunkWerx! Looking for something special or hard to get? DM Spanky today! And now we feature many other trusted brands and gear as well!

The copycats just can't match our experience and expertise, because nobody on Reverb has imported, tweaked on and set up more Harley Bentons than we have! At SkunkWerx USA, we have been hands on with over seventy five different Harley Benton models, almost four hundred HB guitars to date, so we have the knowledge to find the right Harley Benton (or other guitar) just for you!

So, what makes a SkunkWerx Labs USA Harley Benton better than a stock, out-of-the brown box Harley Benton?

Here at SkunkWerx Labs USA, we likely spend more time improving your guitar the best it can be than the manufacturer did building it in the first place. Two to three full hours of USA-made-and-paid elbow grease and effort goes into each and every guitar before it leaves our shop, and each guitar endergoes multiple quality control checks along the way, ensuring that your guitar reaches you playing, looking and sounding better than it did the day it left the factory. All of our listed guitars include our comprehensive in-USA FretWerx Process (TM), ensuring that you receive the most playable, best sounding, and most inspirational guitar you can get for the money.

Every guitar includes your choice of Ernie Ball Slinky String gauge, and your choice of tuning. String upgrades are available, (EBMM Cobalt, StringJoy, Etc.) at extra cost when applicable, and may increase shipping time by up to three days.

You can count on SkunkWerx Guitars USA to do what we can to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase, and the next. We pride ourselves on making things right! Your positive review means everything to us, let us earn it!

We REFUSE to send out any guitar not meeting or exceeding factory specs! If we do, it will be due to the guitar itself, fully disclosed, mutually agreed to, and documented thoroughly. No surprises.

SkunkWerx Guitars USA always recommends a full set up by a qualified technician in your city or town, as temperature and humidity can affect playability during shipping. We recommend waiting 24-48 MINIMUM hours (ten days makes a huge difference), after receiving your guitar BEFORE performing any setup to allow the guitar to acclimate to your local humidity and temperature. This often alleviates issues without the need for additional setup, or having to retunr the guitar to our specs now that it has accimated properly. Guitars may show some signs of very light play wear due to handling during our processes, some small tooling marks may be present, and condition is reported as accurately as possible.

Most instruments are VIDEO RECORDED during both FretWerx process and packing to ensure you have accurate images in case of damage during shipping, or dispute. Returns are allowed up to three days after sale. Both initial and return shipping is at the BUYER'S expense, so please review all photos carefully, and ask questions before you buy. We strive to provide as accurate information and descriptions as possible, nobody like surprises!

Requests for "partial" refunds accompanied by threats to destroy our reputation will be ignored and/or reported, as this has become the Reverb norm. You are killing small businesses with your nickle and dime scams, and we don't play. Scammers will be publicly exposed, we've had enough, we are a small shop, we work hard, and scammers cost us all more. Honesty is the best policy. FAAFO. NO out of country banks or shipping, your transaction will be cancelled, and we do not ship to secondary countries.

SkunkWerx USA is not affiliated with Harley Benton, nor do we receive any special treatment or pricing. We are simply providing top quality, hand selected, fully sorted Harley Benton's for stateside buyers for a nominal fee.

Thanks for trusting your purchase to SkunkWerx USA!
