I have the Fusion III ST for 8 months now, and besides the cheap pods, nothing to complain about. Very fun to play. Many high end features with a reasonable price, and decent pickups. A lot of value for the money.
I replaced the pots and switch with USA made and the pickups with Seymour Duncans. Thing is a beast. The humbucker wasn't that bad but the single coils were horrible on the clean tones.
I have heard that if you’re ordering a Harley Benton from America anyway, the shipping is the same for 1 guitar as it is for 3. So, you can maybe go in with a friend and order and save on shipping.
@@chilly6470 I said "ordering ... from America". I know that Landon is Canadian and I'm not sure what the shipping is like for him so I differentiated on purpose.
Hello from France ! mine is an FNT (natural) with a roasted flamed maple neck and it was a B stock so I think there are no more available on the site.. at the reception the locking tuners were crooked and the setting and the action of the strings was really bad and all the screws had to be tightened. after a good setting and adjustment and a major inspection it's a little rocket! for 250euro with delivery it's a bargain .
The only issue I've had on my Harley Benton Pro series Fusion T HH FNT (panting)...❤😂 Is the switch. It is indeed crap. The bridge loses power but it's not due to the split like you'd think. It's the PCB connection. Can bend it but I'd rather trade mine for a Strat variant. Even the modern hss But these are amazing. They will last way way longer with SS frets and excellent neck than most with nickel. Sadly.
I have the fusion tea from a couple of years ago. The neck on mine not as dark as that one but flamed and very nice. I got it in What's called the dark pink and it has a Wilkinson wvs50 whammy bridge on it. It's one of the best Harley Benton guitars I've gotten out of the many that I bought. Yes I changed the the selector switch to a real one, but that's the only modification I really had to make to satisfy myself
The top also reminds me of an Ibanez... not a prestige but an SZ520 in lapis blue burst. Ibanez also did the same thing with the body where they didn't use binding, but they left a portion of the maple top un colored so it looked a bit like binding.
I had that model a couple years ago and put in a pair of PRS pickups. I did sell it because I had to at the time, but is was a great guitar. Mine was pretty heavy and had a beautiful neck.
Stainless steel frets, push pull, satin finish roasted maple neck, three way coil split, locking tuners, made in Indonesia. I wonder if this has anything to do with chapman moving to India and switching to an all "High end" product range
Keep in mind that Harley Bentons would cost two or three times as much, if Thomann supplied dealersaround the world. Nothing against Chapman, but i wouldn't even consider them as long as there is HB. There are sometimes huge differences in weight however and apparently also neck thickness. I have 2 of the "exact" same singlecut, one is 2.9kgs the other 3.8kgs and the heavier one has a thicker neck....must be around 2mm at the first fret. I love both even though they sound the same...👋🏼 from Switzerland🎸🤘🏼🎸 BTW 5 of my 6 HB SC's are B-stock and at the moment my favorite players!👊🏼
I have had two HB guitars and I have been impressed with the both of them. One was the Vintage Strat and the other was the JA-60. The JA-60 was really nice.
I just got a Fender 60s vintera 2 Stratocaster they dropped the price to 999, and I got 10 percent off that so no new guitars for at least a month or so
Sweet teal Fusion T! As a Canadian I'm more curious about duty charges than CAD cost which Thomann estimates anyway, for Harley Benton guitar orders, cause duty fees can vary guitar order to order. It's Fall in Vancouver this weekend (Aug 24) but I'm still wearing shorts. Now I can't get a Harley Bentley out of my mind, if it was car it would just be a Bentley with Harley Davidson emblems stitched on the leather and outside, but if it was a bike now what would that look like (eg Batpod)? Let us not forget, "Take Off" ended with "..to the Great White North, it's a beauty way to go".
Only guitar for me a lefty to have some GAS for.HB has a black one. $366+ $105 shipping. Add another $60 for import, all in CAD, $531. Tough to justify, but ebony fingerboard and Jinho tuners, stainless steel frets , graph tech nut. Geez, I'm typing myself into it!😅
@@bradseward8342 I forgot to add 15.6% tax to it, making it $605CAD. Add 1 guitar shipping ups to $112. Used to be a decent deal. Now, the shipping kills it
I got a fusion III HSS replaced pots and switch with USA made and pickups with Seymour Duncans. Did a setup and fret polish. Overall i have $850 in it including guitar, and it will outplay my American made fender, also NO fretbuzz. I hate how much I love it.
My Te62 was a piece of junk. Well that's a bit rough but I had nearly doubled the cost by the time I'd replaced the tuners, pots, & pups. The control rout was in the wrong place! The neck is nice but I still couldn't achieve a good action.
A couple of months ago I was searching for a budget guitar and for a while was undecided between a Harley Benton tele and an LP style Michal Kelly. I eventually bought the MK LP, but now after seeing I wonder whether I should buy the tele, too.
I am German and I don't know what "Auftragzbezug" actually means. (the whole thing reads: Store with (or in relation) to order. Though in this case I guess it can mean that they have a special rack where they store the guitars they send out to influencers (i.e. that went through some sort of additional quality control so they don't send out lemons for review).
I had the TEQ90 (?) for a spell. Nice fiddle. Those Roswell P90s were actually better than my current Gibson Jr's IMO. Probably shouldnt have sold it lol.
Completely off-topic, but mine is the 333rd 👍! 😁 Would "Store (this) with order reference!!!" make any sense to you, in regards to the note on the box? 😀
My two HB (Tele's) are fabulous...neck/frets are exceptional. My lefty TE-62DB is flawless. Drop in a set of quality/boutique pups (go used) and you have a superb Tele that competes well with MIA...certainly as good as any MIM. As much as I love my two CV50's....the HBs are better made...and cost much less, even imported from Germany. I'm selling my TE-52...also 10 pounds...toooooo heavy!!
HB have come a very long way with quality and have really kept the price down. The great thing with Indonesian made guitars is that people in that country learn a skill and make a living and the rest of us get a really good instrument at a silly price. Also, there is loads of headroom to replace the cheap electronics with hi quality ones, and still have a great cost effective guitar.
$700 CAD is a difficult window- it’s a ‘no-name’ brand unlike a Fender, but several of the features are better than name-brands for similar and even higher prices
If Thomann supplied a dealer near you it would probably be around 1000.- from his shelf! These guitars are only "budget" priced because Thomann sells them directly, some models only the price is "budget" guitar territory!🎸🤘🏼🎸
16:07 ... I'm the same way. I keep seeing very positive reviews and some of them look quite decent but I'm just turned off by the name. I know it's dumb, but hey.
Re the comment on price. England being an island nation but still part of the European community is the only country still producing it's national currency, the British pound sterling. Euros are also excepted in England. Sounds like you got the pound price for that Harley Benton you were demoing.
Dictionary corner moment. Re the comment about language - 'English is an Indo-European language and belongs to the West Germanic group of the Germanic languages.' In truth, English is a cocktail.
Landon: that guitar is as smooth as your bare legs, eh 🦵 😅 Joking aside, that guitar looks eerily similar to Ibanez, in a good way. It looks great, especially with that shiny dark roasted neck. It sounds really good, too. Harley Bentley is really stepping up their game. And hey, what's wrong with Harley-Davidson?? 🤔
This brand is hurting itself by that that logo. No one wants a two name long branding that is new on their headstock. Same wkth Larry Carlton. That's just my impression
