Introducing the JA-Baritone for left handed players


Launches 23.03.2026
The JA-Baritone has long been one of our most popular guitars, known for its deep baritone voice and distinctive offset design. Now this fan-favorite model is finally available for left-handed players.

For years, the Harley Benton JA-Baritone has been a go-to choice for players looking to explore the massive, low-tuned world of baritone guitars – with its striking offset body and unmistakable tonal character, it quickly became one of our most loved models.

Now left-handed guitarists can finally join the party! The new JA-Baritone LH brings the same recipe that made the original so popular, now built specifically for left-handed players.

At the heart of the instrument is a solid poplar body paired with two P90 AlNiCo vintage-style single coils that deliver a raw, characterful tone full of bite and clarity. Whether you’re chasing gritty stoner rock riffs, spacious surf textures, or simply exploring lower tunings, the JA-Baritone offers a sound that stands out immediately.

The bolt-on maple neck features a comfortable C profile and a purple heart fingerboard with 21 frets, providing smooth playability across the extended 762 mm baritone scale. Combined with Kluson-style tuners and a fixed bridge with string-through-body construction, the guitar offers excellent tuning stability, strong resonance, and plenty of sustain.

Finished in a sleek high-gloss black with matching headstock and black deluxe hardware, the JA-Baritone LH keeps the classic look of the original while opening the door for a whole new group of players.
