For the price point of Harley Benton guitars, you are best off buying a few guitars at once. I purchased 3 a few years ago & had them all sent to Australia for the same shipping cost as one guitar. So I got my money's worth. I ordered on a Thursday and had them at my door the following Tuesday in perfect condition

Yes! Please do a comparison. This one obviously plays very nicely, and SS frets are.a bonus, but I thought the pickups sounded a bit dark and muffled. It would be good to hear it vs a known quantity, in case it was just the amp or pedals you were using this time out.

I was curious and recently purchase two HB Teles (lefty)...HBTE52 and an HBTE62DB...both quite the buy...neck/fret work is excellent...as are the body/finishes. Roswell pups are decent enough....I've upgraded them and now have two superb spare guitars that hold their own with far more pricey kin. Not brave enough to venture beyond a simple Tele relative to another HB....plus, I think 20+ guitars is enough for any avg player like me. Thanks for the review, Mr Bailey....keep making us laugh.

@SarahAndreaRoycesChannel Месяц назад

I came over an Emerald Green one from years prior when they still used Mahagony for the body, but a simpler material for the frets. You win some, you loose some ;-) (I mean PRS himself doesn't like Steel frets, so there is that), also still with Wilkenson pick ups. I jus tought it very cheap and planned to sell it after some maintenance. The design won me over instantly but at first I didn't like the (PRS like) sound all that much. Than I found the ergonomics so great I started to use it when I was mobile. After I did said maintenance; New strings, fresh string height and intonation due to thinner ones, I started to love it too much to sell it. Than I heard the sound in a mixed setting with other instruments and suddenly the sound clicked for me. By now I also adjusted the pickups perfectly and now I never want to let go of it. Especially since I cannot get the same guitar new, as visually the mahagony vs. the meranti makes quite difference, at least up close.

@TheRange7 3 месяца назад

That dirt pedal sounds terrible over here. Is it the pickups in the HB or is just not to my taste? How does it sound with the PRS

@ND._o Месяц назад

The pickups are by far the weakest point of this guitar. Idk why they made them so dark and bassy, they sound so muddy, lifeless and sterile under high gain. It's like they put jazz pickups in what is supposed to be primarily a rock guitar. They aren't outright terrible, It's nothing a bit of EQ dialing and playing with the gain knob can't solve, but personally I found a used set of DiMarzio Dominions for a good price and it sounds much much better with those.

Good old HB CST24 still alive and kicking, now at $345CAD plus mandatory shipping. The new PRS SE CE at $940CAD off the shelf at L&M. SEs are pretty good quality, and very few setup issues out of the box. Are they worth $600CAD more? For me they are. (Recently bought an SE SAS on the factory sale.) But anyone can have a wall of HBs for the same price as one SE I guess.

A side by side comparison would be interesting. I suspect this may be one of the HB party pieces that sails waaay under market to draw attention to the brand and get you in the door. Also, I wonder if the guitar turns out to be the real tits, how consistent is the Toeman/HB Quality Control OR if you could make a sound argument that you could reach "as good as PRS or better" with minimal expenditure. The real beans of PRS is excellent import guitars and industry leading QC.

@guitarzipandan 2 месяца назад

I have four Harley Bentons and each one arrived in perfect condition and with no QC issues, the weaknesses for me are the pickups and the tuners so all mine now have Gotoh tuners and Tonerider pups. With the extra cost of the upgrades they are all still worth every penny and in my opinion a hell of a lot more.👍

@GCKelloch 2 месяца назад

Lotta guitar for the money. Even the PRS SE's for 2x the price don;t include stainless frets. The woods are Asian equivalents of standards for that type. One difference is the roasted Jatoba fretboard should damp less than Indian RW. That and the Stainless frets will make it brighter sounding. Those pickups aren't bad at all. Magnet changes are possible if a lighter attack is desired via A2, A3 or A4, or swap out to something with the sound you'd prefer with the money saved over a PRS. Notice they also have wrap-over bridge models for a bit less. Aluminum bridges like that have a clear sweet tone. I got an HB 335+ from Thoman a few years back that's very nice. Fretwork and setup was great.

Some other models that came in meantime and are great for the value: SC 550 II - depending on spec comes with EMG or Tesla pickups. SC Custom - Currently on 70th year discount for 200€, being basically a ESP singlecut (256 and similar models) Fusion III - Charvel on a budget, amazing guitars.

I ordered the Ocean Blue as well. The vids floored me. When mine came in... it was an awful turd blue. I can't even describe it. Super ugly. A shame. I want yours!!

@andrewbecker3700 3 месяца назад

Because it's built in a factory that has the largest "in stock" parts bin in the world at its disposal. You've gotta take into consideration, that every part of that guitar is just leftover pieces of other models built in the same factory. I've noticed this on many Cort models also. It will end up looking like a weird amalgamation of various guitar brand's all thrown together. Depending on the specs, this can be a good or bad thing. No children or animals have been harmed during production of these guitars. Relax IRONMAN. This is a fairly common tactic used for knockoff models, exactly like this wanna be PRS.

@PaulCooksStuff 3 месяца назад

Multiple factors. CNC machines don't need a living wage. China has very low cost of living, so even it's regional minimum wage doesn't need to be much. Thomann have no global retail outlets and distributor middle men. Two chunks of the profit margin in the conventional (Gibson/Fender/PRS etc) retail distribution model are removed. High volume. Thomann are the largest retailer in Europe. They seem to consciously go for aggressive prices with lower margins, and make it up through sales volume. Volumes that give them negotiating power with factories. When they sell strats/teles for under £/$/e 100, including shipping them from China/Indonesia to Germany to you, it becomes less surprising they can do a PRS for this price.

@travissimpson7955 Месяц назад
