In this video i'm going over the Harley Benton ST-62SB Vintage Series.
The guitar is an s-type instrument and one of the more affordable ones. But don't let the price tag fool you, cause this guitar is pretty well build, and plays really well!
This video is not paid for, however i did recieve the guitar from Harley himself.

40 years ago one could dream of getting a quality guitar like this....for the price. I paid 1700 skr (2024) for the Hot Rod modell. That's exactly what a completely unplayable crap guitar cost me....1982 !? Now...consider inflation for those 42 years. It's crazy !! My new HB was by the way flawless out of the box. The neck....5 stars, and way better than my expensive Gretsch. We do live in the golden age of good affordable guitars....enjoy it. Thanks for the video 😊

For $145 US, I couldn't not buy a ST62. I pay more for pedals. It is a great guitar. I love mine. I need to get a standard series, too. For $78 US. Insane! thanks for the review!

I customized mine very very carefully but mindfully as i went along and I didn't hardly take to much of its originality away as i, worked very hard and diligently NOT ever being in a rush. And by God?? It really paid off! ! ! It Looks exactly like it came very customized from Fenders Custom shop No kidding at all ... If y'all stay pretty cool and follow the easy caring rule then?? You actually PAID yourself a 100 fold more when customizing but with care and respect to your new Harleys out there. Well? Wish y'all good luck 👍😎

That's a great neck pickup strat sound. The open string buzzing is concerning but perhaps can be adjusted out. Maybe the nut slot is cut too low.

@resqgear1918 3 года назад

I did adjust it later, and now there's next to no buzz 🤗

@emlynkhelicopter6975 Год назад

These things never feel or play 100% great straight out of the box, but if you can do your own setup and roll the fingerboard edges and frets with a sanding block you'll get a superb Strat for pin money. I loved mine so much I bought another for modding the same week.

@MrTestallica 3 года назад

I got the St-62 VW as a Gift for Christmas. Surprised me really. For a lower end Guitar they play as well as more expensive Brand names. A steal at these prices. Heard some of issues with other Models. Yet I would buy these Guitars. A little moderate adjustments for personal preference. Action. Ect ect... I think it still has the strings on it that my friend bought it with. I believe he had it for a little bit before he gave it to me. I love it to be honest gonna keep the bridge as a hardtail. Not a big fan of terms. May shield the inside myself for interference.

@donalddemille5910 3 года назад

@@PegeCovers are you familiar with Vintage Brand? RU-vid got me hyped up to buy a V6, and waiting on it to show up. it is supposed to be the same way, a lot of guitar for a little money. not as cheap as HB, though. I also bought a Harley Benton SCT24. it is a PRS clone. It was $245 US and you would swear it was 3 times that much! HB has an HSS strat for $88 US. I pay more for pedals, I think I said once before. I heard CNC machines and Thomann is also the distributor keeps the prices WAY down.

Can you do a sound comparison on this Harley Benton St-62 Vintage series and the Harley Benton St-62?. I can’t decide which one I want based on the sound because there aren’t any comparison videos on RU-vid. I would really appreciate it if you decided to do it.

@@resqgear1918 Hi again! I reached out to Thomann and asked them what the biggest differences between the guitars are. And they said they are the same but just different colors. Even tho it says 3 Roswell STA Alnico-5 Vintage ST-Style Single coils on one of the guitars and the other says 3 Roswell STA Alnico-5 ST-Style single coils on the other in their website. So I guess the comparison video doesn't have to happen.
