The electric guitar SC-400 by Harley Benton, Its pickups are passive, which consist only of the coil that "translates" the movement of the strings into an electric signal. This type of pickups is widely used and the most common compared to others.
The arrangement of the pickups equipped on the guitar SC-400 is HH, which describes the number, position, and type of the pickups. Specifically, the combination of the letters H and S stands for humbucker and single, respectively. For example, if we have an HSS pickup configuration, then the guitar has 1 Humbucker pickup and 2 Single coil pickups. Additionally, the order of the letters determines the position of the pickups, with the first letter representing the bridge position, the last letter representing the neck position, and the middle letter, if present, indicating the middle position. However, if the configuration has only one letter, then the pickup is usually placed in either the bridge or neck position.
Finally, the bridge of Harley Benton SC-400 is fixed. The bridge, or saddle, is the part where the strings start from the body of the instrument and go towards the tuning keys. The strings simply pass through the metallic frame that resembles a bridge, which is screwed onto the body. Changing strings is simple and quick, and does not require any special attention.

I have had the guitar for a while now. I am a beginner, so my opinion is purely from that perspective.
I had seen various reviews before purchasing it, mainly regarding the build quality and finish. There were various issues with the color or the buttons of the guitar. Generally, there are many irrelevant comparisons with guitars that have a much higher cost, which don't help a beginner much.
Knowing that it is a cheap product, I didn't have high expectations. After all, I wanted something to start playing with, and my criteria were simple, such as shape and color. I will discover the rest along the way.
As a guitar, it is beautiful, but the gold color as advertised looks more like brass. Personally, I prefer it that way.
In terms of build quality, the piece I have is flawless. Maybe I was lucky. Everything seems to be properly placed.
The fretboard and neck are generally easy to play. In terms of fret buzz, I noticed very minimal, mainly because I still produce buzz from the wrong finger positions. I would prefer the action to be a bit lower. The tuning on the G string easily goes off on the tuning pegs. I will send it for a setup, and I believe that the above-mentioned issues will be resolved.
As for the pickups and electronic parts, I can't say anything because I don't have knowledge about them. They are basic commercial ones. I have paired the guitar with a Boss mini katana amplifier, and the sound covers me for now.
It is a heavy guitar, but personally, it doesn't bother me.
Finally, I gave it 4 stars based on the guitar's category and my knowledge in this beginner stage.
