HARLEY BENTON DC-JUNIOR TV YELLOW ELECTRIC GUITAR

Originally conceived as an affordable guitar for learners, this stripped-back rock guitar design was later seized on by rockers who loved its classic, raucous tones, simple layout and full-on sound. Billie Joe Armstrong, Johnnie Thunder and a certain Mr K Richards have all been associated with the model that inspired our DC Junior TV Yellow guitar. A mahogany body and neck with an amaranth fretboard that’s exceedingly accessible thanks to the two cutaways are the basis of this guitar. But the real action is going on with the single “dog-ear” Roswell P90 pickup at the bridge position that generates a throaty sound that cleans up nicely when you roll back the volume. Loads of fun to play and simple to set up – that’s the Harley Benton DC Junior TV Yellow!
