Harley Benton has revamped its lineup of headless electric guitars with the release of the Dullahan-FT 24 and Dullahan-AT 24 models.
Building on the brand’s existing Dullahan headless range, the new-and-improved offerings sport a series of bold burst colorways and sleek sonic finishes, and boast a hardware upgrade that promises an “unparalleled playing experience”.
Seeking to combine classic tones, contemporary playability and modern aesthetics, the refined models are dubbed by the company as “the perfect platform to experience the world of headless guitars for the first time”. Of course, price tags starting at $457 don't go amiss, either.
