In my excitement over getting a new guitar, I forgot to say this guitar came rather unplayable right out of the box, with a back bowed neck, and high action. It would not be a guitar setup good enough for someone who can't do the setup himself.
Welcome to my channel where I share my journey in learning to play guitar. I started to be serious about learning in November 2019.

Cool guitar, happy NGD Carsten! Love the vintage vibes.

Thank you, Marco. It's really nice, although I did some work on it today. I worked 6 hours on the guitar. - Leveled and polished the frets - shielded the cavities. - wired the bridge pickup to the tone control. - Replaced all the plastic. - made a new bone nut. With better string spacing. - And finally gave it a setup.

@@thegaindane boah. Now it plays like buttet I guess ;)

@thegaindane 3 года назад

Yes, I just noodled for about 20 minutes. It feels amazing now 😀

A Clean house is a happy house, my house is kinda pissed cause I’m playing with my guitars all the time. Enjoy the new axe Sir

@thegaindane 3 года назад

I wish I could play like you... I'd take the pissed house for that 😬

Just keep playing man you’ll get there 🤘🏽, and once people can be around people again one on one lessons can lead an exponential gain in fretboard freedom 🤘🏽. Late 2023 is looking safe optimistically 😷 stay safe and just keep playing. I used to work on playing with my eyes closed or in total darkness, I’m not sure how much but it’s gotta help with muscle memory.

Thanks Brother, I have one ordered, they are on back order, for weeks,, so that alone says something. Means they cannot keep them in stock. I have two Fender Strats that I have modded, do not plan on doing anything to this, keep it all vintage. Even much higher priced guitar need tweaked, 'Right out of the Box', but have seen some other videos that they were in fact, playable. Regardless, I would change the strings, and adjust to my liking, and if anything really messed up would return it, or take it to my guitar tech. I have 2 other Harley Bentons and am very happy, although i did change pickups on them both. I played my CST 24 today at a gig, left my Les Paul at home. Rock On!

Greetings, and congrats on your purchase. I hope you're gonna like it as much as I do mine... I too had ordered an ST-62, one of the newer CC series (Custom Colour), and it arrived March 3rd. The one I bought is of the very cool shell-pink colour, as Thomann call it. It's an awesome instrument, not only in respect of the price. BTW, it's my third Harley Benton guitar, and even though I own a superb Danelectro, I play my HBs on regular basis. All the best, and thank you for sharing your impressions :)

@thegaindane 3 года назад

It's a great guitar for the money. And with a good setup it plays wonderfully too. Love the shell pink color 👍

@thenovicenoisemaker 3 года назад

It’s a beauty!!!

@thegaindane 3 года назад

It really is. It does need a quite a lot of fixing. But nothing I can't do. And I think it will turn out really nice 😀

@@thegaindane awesome! Looking forward to part 2 review! Glad you like it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@spaccatuttoraudo3110 2 года назад

Hi, I'm a beginner Guitar. You recomend this for rock metal too? I want to start with a versatility Guitar, and i don't know what choice. For you, I have to buy Ibanez grx 70qa or this?

@thegaindane 2 года назад

I would not recommend this guitar for rock and metal. You need a guitar with humbucker pickups. the Ibanez would be a better choice.

@zlobert9877 2 года назад

Would you reccomend this over a squier affinity strat?

@thegaindane 2 года назад

I haven't tried an affinity strat. But looking at the specs, I would prefer the new 2021 affinity strat.

@thenovicenoisemaker 3 года назад

You don’t need a reason other than you MUST have vintage white Strat with a maple finger board 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Right let me carry on watching

@thegaindane 3 года назад

Yes, when Richard says Jump!.. You say, how high? 😬

I had 4 Hb's they all had uneven frets.

@thegaindane 4 месяца назад

Well, it happens... Even my PRS SE Paul's guitar 7x the price of this HB had uneven frets.

Wau looking gear

@gnegnegne3 3 года назад

what are those riff you play? the clean ones mostly... thanks!

@thegaindane 3 года назад

The first riff I play in the neck pickup, is Victor by Jens Varmløse... The second riff on the Bridge pickups, is Apache by Hank Marvin.

@gnegnegne3 3 года назад

@@thegaindane Thanks! Tried to get some tabs but can't find any yet. Can you suggest where to find em?

@thegaindane 3 года назад

I'm sure there's tabs for Apache. But the Victor song, I'm afraid you just have to watch how other people play it on RU-vid.

@benallmark9671 3 года назад

What the differences between this and the T-20’s ?

@thegaindane 3 года назад

I haven't had a ST-20, but the difference would be: - Better pickups - Better pots - Better tuners - Vintage look and feel.

@gregcapuano2350 3 года назад

How many guitars do you need guy? Just one more! 🤘😆

@thegaindane 3 года назад

There's alway room for one more, right? 😬

@benallmark9671 3 года назад

You can tell he’s a strat man, that’s for sure. I’d love to hear is opinion on which are the top 5 ones that are not made by Fender , excluding the Squires
