Harley Benton 25th anniversary strat(modded) 2023 - Firemist gold

2023 Harley Benton Anniversary Strat – Heavily Modified Project Guitar (Firemist Gold)

Up for sale is my 2023 Harley Benton Anniversary Strat in the Firemist Gold finish. This guitar has been heavily modified and is best suited for someone who enjoys dialing in a custom setup or finishing a solid project build.

Mods & Upgrades:

• Installed Stay Trem system – super fun and adds a lot of expressive playability
• roller nut Installed, works fine but needs to be shimmed/set up.
• Includes brand new Graph Tech Un-Lock nut (not installed) to improve tuning stability. Was going to sand this nut Down to fit and then install but never got around to it. included for free.
• Guitar Fetish active single-coil pickups (2 gold, 1 red)
• Guitar Fetish active boost system installed on a black diamond pickguard:
  
• • Bass boost
  • Treble boost
  • Mid boost
  • Gain boost (4 total knobs)
• Come with original soft case/all case candy still in mint condition.
• Brand new Set of Ernie Ball Cobalt slinky top heavy bottom.
  

Optional Add-On:

• Set of Lace Sensor pickups (burnt chrome / silver / blue) available for additional cost. Id Prefer not to sell these but if you want them we can discuss it.
• Any original parts - I’m not sure I have all the original parts, but if it’s important to you I don’t mind trying to find them.

Condition:

This is not a mint guitar. There is visible cosmetic damage on the headstock from a slipped chisel (see photo), along with a few smaller nicks around the body. Functionally, it still has a lot of potential, but it does need some final setup work to really shine.

This would make a great project guitar for someone who wants a unique Strat-style build with upgraded electronics and trem system already in place. The maple neck feels great, and with a little time and attention, this could turn into something really special. Or you can stip it down and make it into your dream strat.

Selling because I just don’t have the time to finish it and could use the cash. Hoping it goes to someone who’ll get it dialed in and put it to good use.
