Great looking strat and some real feel playing there awesome mate keep it up 🤘🤘🤘

Great sound. You’ve improved. 👍

Very nice, Richard 👍

From the off that tone is fantastic :) Always a pleasure to listen to you play sir :)

Very nice mate 👍👍🤠🎸

👍 for another good video Rich! Nice sounds coming from that guitar.

Great tone from that setup Rich - smooth fingers too 😎

Nice guitar Rich. I've only has one HB strat (the red with gold hardware) but the tuners were just 'awful' so moved it on real quick. Not sure 12" radius is for me on a strat but that's how I roll.

It would be great if you were holding these two guitars and pointing to them. I for one like to see the guitars you talking about. Peace!

Artist Guitars wipe the floor with all of them.

Hi Rich, for left-handed players like me, the PRS SE Silver Sky has finally become available, presenting a new option. However, I find it too expensive for what it offers, especially given its plastic-style tuners. I own a collection of Harley Benton and Jet guitars, and with a proper setup and possibly a few modifications, they perform exceptionally well at a budget-friendly price.

Wow that colour is the DB’s and just the right amount of darkening to the neck - tasty looking guitar. I have three rooms full of guitars but I don’t actually own anything from Mr Harley & Mrs Benton, however I’m not a brand snob - they are probably responsible for getting more young kids picking up a guitar and that deserves some respect & recognition. Great time to be a player 🤟

I personally only buy cheap guitars, I’ve not got the urge to buy a big brand , Gibson , fender , PRS etc , mainly the price ( because I’m I’m tight fisted ) but also I couldn’t do an expensive guitar the justice , so I’ll be sticking to budget range stuff , and have to put up with squealing noises in and videos I do 😂,, 👍👍🤠🎸

lmao that intro. Reminded me of the boss i had back then. Great guy but sounded like Mickey mouse

Hey Rich, really fantastic take. I'm sick of so many guitarists pushing this narrative that expensive instruments are always better and if you don't have a brand name instrument, you're a bad player, it's absolute BS!!! My main guitar is a HB TE-62 that I did some basic setup work on and it feels and plays amazing - I don't feel the need to get anything better! Especially not the overpriced Fender player series that have as many if not more QC issues than budget brands!

Brand, you pay more for a brand it's as simple as that really. It's exactly the same reason why a Tesco hoodie is cheaper than a puma hoodie check ✔️ sorry Rich I had to crowbar that in 😂😂😂

I bought it n it had buzzing due to high frets. I returned it n bought a mexican fender

Hell yeah on the 1000+! :) For different presetty type things would highly recomend the line 6 helix stuff. I myself am absolutely awfull with all things tech but the line 6 is so easy with the desktop stuff or using it through the unit. Bought the floor to replace my old pedalboard and my interface all at once and it works flawlessly. You can split the signal path up to either allow you to swap the preamp on your amp or (like i do) run one side as the front of amp and one as the loop :) Its also a good recording tool and great for silent playing if you ever need to :) Would highly recomend :)

That neck looks well nice, interesting heel too dunno if its the lighting but it looks very angular :) i like look of that :) As I always say of these kinda geetars theyd make a perfect modder 😈 Great vid as always sir, hope your keepin well :)

Harley Benton make some tidy guitars for the money , but my performer strat takes some beating 🎸

Thanks Rich, it’s refreshing to hear from someone who understands that the most important part of playing a guitar is how it makes you feel. There is an equal amount of fun to be had from a £150 Harley Benton and a £9000 Gibson Custom Shop - music isn’t a competition, it’s a joy.

I bought the Squier Sonic, and the ST-62 (and I am NOT a Harley Benton fan) but The Harley Benton sounded more 'fenderish' and glassy then the Squier. Kudo's

For beginners who have a little parts swap savvy, change tuners, block, amd pickups if required amd for about $250 you get a decent guitar. Just my opinion based on owning inexpensive and mid range guitars and what you get for your money.

This is a nice color, Im a fan of vintage white but not butter cream. Im planning on possibly 3 Hb guitars in the very near future, the st modern plust, a premium model tele and possibly a upper LP model so thank you very much for showcasing these fine guitars, it definately helps when choosing new guitars! Thanks Rich!

I know you buy and sell guitars a lot. Would you mind answering all my questions 1.What made you sell the previous ST-62s you had? 2. Apart from the neck (obviously important) - has anything else changed on this guitar? If the pickups are the same - then I assume it won't sound any different to your previous ST-62's. In the title of your video - you say you prefer the ST-62 to a Jet. I have a Jet JS-300. It is £30-£50 more than the ST-62...but feels incredibly very well built. I've swapped out the tuners for locking tuners and considering a pickup swap. I'm not crazy about the ceramic pickups it ships with......but as ceramic pickups go they're nicer than normal as they are low output ones. Unlike many budget Strat copies the Jet-JS300 has a full size trem block. A mate of mine who buys and sells guitars like you do.......but deals in expensive models ( !! ) was very impressed with the JS-300 and was gobsmacked that it can be bought for around £160 - £180. He genuinely expected it to be in the £400 - £500 range. Long lead up to question 3.......but 3. What is it about the ST-62 you prefer over a Jet?? (Obviously I don't know which Jet you are referring to. But the JS-300 is the correct comparison as they are both SSS Strats). I would be very interested to know. Big thanks!!!

Ooooft! Over 1k vids! 🥳 Thats impressive mate - huge congrats 😀👍

Perfect strap pairing too 😀👌

Another nice one

How does that compare to the silver sky you had previously?

It’s a great looking guitar, that’s for sure 🤩

Afternoon rich that's an awesome looking guitar.. I was just looking at another strat style guitar on thomann.... For the new year thanks for sharing atb sam 👍

Nice mate, looks and sounds good, 👍👍🤠🎸

I bought the Boss Katana Artist MKII and download patches off sites which cover tones of artists. It's a great amp, easy to use. Like you I just wanted something I could flick on and go. As much as I love playing with pedals they really can just be a distraction.

before you check the tuning...give the bar a lift up...that can sometimes release a string stuck on something. A classic EVH trick.

Great work doing this many videos. 🙂 Sorry to be boring about the effects. I think you should just use your pedalboard to get the sounds… I know you can’t be bothered with another amp with the effects. It will not sound as good as your Blackstar anyway 😉

Nice milestone nonetheless. Well done sir!

Thanks for all the videos Richie !! I only had 1 x guitar when I started watching your channel. I now have 30 !!! (4 of those purchased directly from you ). Bank account savings are so over-rated, assets is where its at. I think you should buy a Zoom G5n multi pedal board. Heres why.... (I know you dont like these things but this board is very easy to use.) Just use it for the presets.... 125 presets will keep you busy for a while. You dont need to get involved with creating complex chains/sounds. You get a cool drum machine and decent looper. (80 seconds) Also - you will have greater control over your volume on your amplifier so you can get much, much lower volumes for night time playing. (Also has headphone socket) Zoom G5n functions as a USB audio interface. - For future recordings of all your hit songs.

Has anyone that owns this guitar experienced loud crackling when playing hard chords on a clean setting? I have the TE-52 and the TE-30 and both guitars do exactly the same thing. Playing through an Orange Crush 20 amp with an Ernie Ball braided cable, in Drop D tuning, playing clean lead and dirty chords are fine, but when really hammering chords in clean, both guitars crackle loudly...

Congratulations on surpassing 1000 videos mate! We are all looking forward to the vintage white guitar video! Cheers!

I’m sure there must be something out there that makes recordings simply, although if anyone is likely to find it, I’m pretty sure it would be you 😂, 👍👍🤠🎸

ZZ top sound came from the Les Paul and the amp. Billy had no tricks other than maybe a fuzz, lightly.

Have you tried the spark range of amps. I'm quite tempted especially someone like myself who is a bedroom player with the facility to add a cab for gigging. The fender gtx series seem to be pretty awesome in terms of clean to dirty presets.

Have your tried the nux mighty air, it's wireless for it's sound shouldn't sound that good and very easy to use. I use it with the phone app which is so easy but once you fine tune your channels you don't need the app. It's also a brilliant blue tooth speaker which I use to play music in the garden or so small you can take out with you. I brought mine cheap of eBay and the built in battery last ages, brilliant for home use for quick practice.

Sounding most nice there sir :) You always seem to get a great tone out of everything :)

Well Mr Rich outstanding young man!

Harley benton fusion T HH great guitar bro is great level instrument beautiful guitar

Sounding good Rich, and another Nice geetar

You are really bonding with the Blackstar ht5, its got to be a keeper. Have you ever tried a p90 guitar Rich, thats my next quest

Great playing Rich and immense tone from that HB - any pedals in there or was it all the Blackstar?

nice one Rich, keep doing what your doing as your deffo getting better.
