Harley Benton, in collaboration with Hunter Engel, creator of the Agufish YouTube channel, have announced the new Harley Benton Agufish Custom Signature Series.
The launch features two models, both with a Purple Blast finish: the Harley Benton Agufish Custom Signature PB standard-scale, and the Harley Benton Agufish Custom Signature BT PB baritone version.
The Harley Benton Agufish Custom Signature PB has a scale-length of 25”, carved ash top and a weight-relieved Nyatoh body paired with a roasted Canadian maple, while the Macassar Ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets are designed for “a smooth playing experience”.
Powering the Agufish Custom Signature PB are two Roswell Seraphim Custom Wound Alnico V and Alnico V/Ceramic Flanker pickups in the neck and bridge positions that offer a wide range of tones.
According to the official Harley Benton statement: “Players can dial in to glassy cleans or gnarly high-gain tones using the individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with the 3-way pickup selector. Locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut ensure reliable tuning stability, along with the DR Strings Dragon Skin coated electric strings (10-46) the guitar ships with.”
The Harley Benton Agufish Custom Signature BT PB is aimed at players “seeking deeper, lower and more aggressive tones”.
This model features a 28-inch scale length, and like its smaller sibling it features a carved ash top on a chambered Nyatoh body. The set roasted Canadian maple neck has a Macassar Ebony fingerboard with 22 extra jumbo stainless steel frets and the same smooth U profile.
The Roswell Seraphim Custom Wound Alnico V and Alnico V/Ceramic Flanker pickup combination is designed to ensure articulation and clarity, while locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut maintain stability for intense, downtuned playing. The Agufish Custom Signature BT PB also ships with DR Strings Dragon Skin strings, but this time with a heavier 13-62 gauge and tuned to A-standard.
