Harley Benton Double Review! ft. Deakon lekross (HB Fusion Series) 

all of the above i guess, i just hope his hairline doesn't recede too much xD

Yes

He is a guitarist, a shampoo advertisement, a bodybuilder, and a pilot. Oh yeah, a RU-vid virtuoso par excel lance

LeeYinPo He’s the reincarnation of Glenn Danzig.

I have a lot of respect for Max physique as a hobby lifting man myself but that's not Bodybuilders muscle. It's more casual gym lifters physique. Impressive hell yeah, but not competitive lifters physique.

Same here man….ha ha ha. 😂

Thanks! But how was the sandwhich?!

Aaaaayoooooo!

Excellent! I think you'll love it, it's a great guitar!

Think it comes with a Woohan Wamy, to help you music go viral.

@@anyhoot47 where do you think your microwave was made? Or that cup you just drank out of? Or that plate you where eating off of. Lol seriously

Hey @some1fat I have the same Harley Benton - got a B-stock for 300euro and after adjusting the badly setup Floyd it's great , but the Floyd is still not 100% to my liking - which of the tremol-no did you install and was it difficult to install and most important do you think it's worth it? Greetings from Belgium - and keep on rocking

@@oklive4021 small clamp tremol-no. got it from thomann.

And now up to $75...

He's an incredible guitarist!

@@GuitarMAXMusic your a very Nice Guy Max Thumbs up

Nice frets, no sharp ends on both guitars! Nut was good too.

wait, is the Amarok 6 a new range ? They look awesome

I do not know about a noise gate but I saw the guys doing quick volume turn downs and strings being muted quite zoomily after shredding out some of the rift/phrasing demos on the guitars ! ! ! Had to edit man my laptop puts words in that are in place of what I type in at times and I do not always catch the mistakes and get them edited out of a post. Cheers ! ! ! 😎🤘

Stuee your kidding? Sorry to hear that. I was lucky then with mine. Plan to put some Suhr ssv ssh pickups in mine as I think the Guitar itself is worthy of them

Basically just a few upgrades and bug fixes. The main one being to lose the string retainer bar on the mark 1 (which was a disaster) and replacing it with staggered locking tuners, which work great with the Wilkinson trem and are a huge improvement.

I like Max, always have and I wish him well in all his endeavors. And I don't mean to slam him, but rather offer constructive criticism. But man, you hit it on the nose - something about how Max dials in or prefers his high gain tones does sound overly brittle and buzz-sawy. He needs to dial back the high end and sweeten things up on the mids. The difference is quite apparent here with Deacon's tone - equally high gain, but far less grating on the ear. As for the HBs, they really can be incredible value guitars for the money - I own two HB models and am delighted, those guitars fitting in nicely with my multiple MIJ Ibanez JS and S series guitars, my PRS, my Suhr HSS superstrat and a few others. Are HB guitars the greatest guitars ever? Don't be ridiculous. But for the price, they certainly punch well above their weight. Be aware that as with all mass produced, lower-priced guitars, QC can be up and down - I got very lucky with both of mine as they were literally perfect out of the box. So you need to temper your expectations. Good news is that Thomann offers world class customer service - any and all problems you may have will be taken care of with no hassles at all. Great axes for the money and in many HB guitars, even compared to guitars costing 2-3X as much. Cheers and stay safe!

@@joesatchton212 me too. Big fan of the channel but not the tones.

@Joe Satchton Yep, Joe is on to something here... Max is an experienced player and the channel is great, though the dialled-in tones are consistently mid-dipped and hark back to the eighties which is Imo only so successful cause the end result is... 80‘s mid-dipped shred metal

They are similar in some ways, although I think I prefer the Fusion II overall. It has nicer frets.

I've ordered from Thomann three times in the last two years, delivered to Los Angeles. Each order took 10-11 days. I'm guessing with the pandemic, delivery times might be a bit screwy.

"Yes your honor, these two youts"

lol

European tax....

I assume no, and the fact that they don't divebomb them testifies to that I say. also the wilkinson doesn't have a locking nut.

Yes, provided you have quality locking tuners and a good nut.

I want to know how well it works on this guitar.

I wish they had a HH - 24 fret with non locking trem. And a HSS as well. All with recessed bridge. They'd fight directly with much more expensive guitars if they did that.

I wish they would do hum at bridge, single at neck, no middle, 22 frets, non locking trem. I would buy at least 3 of them!

Well said!

An Ibanez?

Indonesia I believe.

@Sunflower Seeds Thanks for responsed

@@joebodynobody764 Thanks for responsed

We have a band called "Raptor Command - The Heavy Metal Tribute to Elon Musk".

I mean, yeah, the pickups are not top notch that is a sure thing. But if you swap them with some Seymour Duncans or pickups of your taste, it is a killer guitar for not a lot of money

-5 points.

@@GuitarMAXMusic -5? Damn

The Blackstar amp may be trebled up taking away some of the more chuggy tones on the lowend, but if not the electronics can always be EQ'd or Switched out in the guitar if you are wanting more low end & chug. It could just be your media devise causing the trebled up tones on the low end. I know my laptop does this because I do not have my media devise running to an output that has a wider tonal EQ-able tonal range in the low end range of the tonal mix. I got various cabs and heads and also modeling types, so I am set for playing just about any Guitar type and features and electronics. I believe that G-Max plays through vintage 30 Celestions as being his speakers favorite choice in tone, as he he said in another post thread of his. I would like the HH NAT or the HSH in the Blue withe the locking tuners and the Wilkinson Tremolo rather than the Floyd Rose Tremolo. I gotta go check out this line of guitars. I really like the AIO brand Tele as well. So much gear, not enough time and space to house and play all the great gear out there over the years, the years when all you could afford were strings and pawn shop specials to mod up. I still do that with gear for myself and others. I just bought a Schecter Exotic and a Schecter C1 Platinum EMG 81/85 pups in the Blue Satin and already got other gear picked out but will wait on some bargain promos and pricings here & there. WOW, the move called, " This Is Spinal Tap" just came on the Tube man Heh Heh Heh, so I am gonna go and have some laughs since it is raining a Covid19Virus still got us shut down here. Peace & Play 🎸 On . . . 😎🤘🎸🙏👍.

He is much better than me, no doubt!

Well I have been playing the crap out of superstrat for 30 years (Ibanez jem) that I got by swapping a 1978 fender strat. So that's where the vintage strat is. Out the door.
