you say the same as my music teacher just told me: a good musician makes a cheap instrument to sound like an expensive one, and a bad musician makes an expensive instrument sound like a cheap one! and your HB guitar sounds amazing because you are a GREAT musician
I can't agree more, well said 👍👍
Amen!
HB are great guitars. The player can rock.
At the end of the day., we need a good amp
well said !!!! best comment , Jimi Hendrix play a Jackson , will also sounds amazing
You're such a peaceful person and that's the reason you're always welcome here on my living room television. Great playing, wonderful presentations Jonathan. Hope you're feeling better.
Thank you brother...for welcoming me to your living room...where's my drink? LOL🤓✌
Awesome. One moment you're this gentle soft-spoken guy, and the next minute you're a BEAST on the guitar! \m/
Lol... ✌️❤️
I'm 53 years old and just started on my guitar journey after 30 years first picking up a guitar. I bought a Harley Benton DC 580 , and although it's not a premium guitar, I was blown away by its quality and sound for the price. Just ordered a DC Custom which I know is very similar, but of higher spec. Cant wait to play it. In this day and age, especially for the beginner ( like me) , there's no reason to spend thousands on something you can get along with and make great sounds.
I love your reasoning for liking Harley Benton guitars, they do what you want, they feel great, and they sound great. I know this comment is two years after your video but it's still very relevant. Thank you for not being a brand snob, and thank you for this video. Happy Christmas to you, your family, and your followers. Huge thumbs up for a very honest review of budget guitars. 👍👍👍☮☮☮
Thank you so much Tim! And may you and your family have a a blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year!! ❤️
Variety and quality for a fair price. What better way is there to try different bodies and pickup configurations than HBs? Enjoy!
Exactly brother ✌️🤓
I'm 6 HB's (13 guitars in total) in and I am yet to be disappointed, they are fantastic instruments! PS your videos are great, love to hear someone who love the instrument talk about it 🙂
Thank you for your encouragement brother ✌️🤓
Jonathan yourplaying isoutofthisworld is there any way you could do a video on the way you are getting your sound I love what I’m hearing keep it coming please thanks a million Buffalo bob.
I love everything you do in this channel, Jon. It is amazing to see a musician of your calibre talking about and actually playing such affordable guitars that even I can buy. Thank you, Sir :)
Zs
Glad you enjoy it!✌❤
You present really useful information without gimmicks but illustrated with superbly tasteful guitar playing - and similarly, your music is free from gimmicks and exhibits real artistry. Thanks!
Thank you Lawrence! You are so kind :)
Great review and awesome positive talk. Thanks for keeping it positive and appreciating what you have and where you're going!
Thank you for your encouragement! Great name by the way!! ✌️🤓
its always a joy to see you play and doing demos! Please keep the videos coming... haha
Thank you ✌️🤓
Love your approach/playing style so much feel and emotion! Rock on!
Thank you..🤓✌️
I love your choice in pauses! Wow what a blast listening to your playing!
Thanks so much!✌️❤️
I really like the spirit of your passion for the guitar and also very much your style of playing .... very full of energy while being very musical.
Thank you so much !
Thank you!! ✌️❤️
Great video! That playing you did with each guitar was kick ass! I just discovered your channel a week ago and trying to catch up. The way you play is so much the flavor I love with some of the bests tricks I've seen. The fact that you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers is baffling to me. More people need to hear you. Thanks for all the great videos!
You are most kind...✌♥
Love your passion for the instrument. I only own 1 guitar for 19 years, MIM strat.
And plays with it with worn fret, have change all the pots, adding Treble Bleed n orange caps for the tone pots.
What u said is true, how it makes u wanna grab n play it 🤘
Dear Jonathan! I really like your videos - they are great. Your humble attitude and our objective point of view on HB guitars, and generally, is so refreshing. Great playing style too. Please keep on making such good stuff. Thanks and very warm greetings from Salzburg/Austria!
Thanks Phil!! ✌️🤓
Rockin’ it!!! Great insights about your continuing musical journey. Thanks for putting it out!
Thank you Douglas! ✌♥
I appreciate all your videos Jonathan. Your playing is really fantastic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with HB guitars.
Peace
My pleasure Stephen ✌️❤️
I really love the way you play, always simple(and that doesn't mean easy)and efficient.great tone, great rythm and melody,and I like harley benton too
Thank you Jean✌️❤️
Jonathan , I love your honest reviews and your playing (which is fantastic) but I very appreciate your humble take on stuff and probably life in general..thanks for sharing your insights ..live and best wishes .
Sure thing!! Thank you✌️❤️
You are such a cool person. Thanks for your honesty and the work you put into your channel.
Thank you Bobby 🤓 God bless ✌️
Thanks for this video. With your comments on their playability, now I'm interested in HBs again. And, magnificent playing, by the way.
Thank you for your comments 🤓✌️
Just love your down to earth style and demeanor. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 2021
Have a blessed Christmas!!✌️❤️
Your honesty is refreshing! Keep it up! You will convince me to purchase a Harley Benton eventually.
Hahahaha I don't soon to convince you to buy anything... Just to let ppl know that there are other affordable options out there 😆✌️
Hey Jon - Thanks for your insight on guitars I totally agree with everything your saying - The Harley Bentons are very appealing with there look and price and Performance. With proper set up (all brands for this) they do the job very well. I just purchased my 1st HB - 7 string fan fret installed Fishman Tosin Abasi pick ups had it set up properly and WOW what a guitar - it sounds and plays amazing. Cheers
You are absolutely right. I've played guitar for more than 20 years from classical and own more than 20 Harley Benton guitars as well as some other guitars like Fender, Gibson etc. It doesn't matter how much the guitar costs but how clever the person plays it and produces great notes. I admire you... Thanks...
Thank you Tommy✌️❤️
Great chat. In your hands those HB guitars sound fantastic!
Thanks for posting.
I’m glad this is helpful✌️❤️
As always your playing skills are just incredible!!
Thank you Greg 🤓✌️

What pickups are a good replacement for the st62 strat? The roswells are dull and lack chime I think. Any cheap options?
You’re soloing blows my mind it’s magnificent. I wasn’t expecting that from an acoustic review
Glad you liked it!
Im getting the fusion 2 for my 50th birthday .looking forward to playing it .thanks for the reviews.great playing by the way.. all the best.
Have fun! and Happy birthday!!✌❤
That CST 24 sounds just epic in your jam....... what a beast I'm going to get myself one...... next after that is the TE70...... keep up the great work , love your videos and your playing..... you have the touch ...... Thanks
Thank you kindly ✌🤓
Jonathan that was so well said. The tone of the HB, the art of the HB and the personality of the HB makes each one special and separates all HBs from YOUR HB. Their economy allows us to indulge ourselves to a point beyond where any other manufacturer even comes close.
Yes... But you know.. Snobs will be Snobs. They will always think the HB are cheap sounding guitars no matter what their ears tell them lol😆
Thanks a lot for your videos & great playing, Jonathan! Very inspiring video... Greetings from Barcelona!
Thank you David ✌️🤓
Really enjoy your videos and love your playing style and sound.
Thank you Brother ✌️❤️
I couldn't agree more Jonathan. I'm glad I found your channel. I like your playing first and foremost. Very tasteful! I like your insight and honesty, and I like the straight foreward no nonsense way you present your guitars. As you say. No right or wrong when it comes down to it, ultimately it's up to your own ears and your own feel that what is good. They key is learning how to develop that.
Welcome to the channel!!✌💚
OMG, I just recently found out about you.... I love your talent and honesty...Rock on Jon!!!
Woodbine to the channel! 🤓✌️
Great vibe. Love your playing approach.
Thank you ! ✌🤓
I saw the Harley Benton Fusion-T HH HT LH EB BK (Fusion Tele) for the first time last night and fell in love.
lol✌♥
wow you are starting to change my mind on the HB guitars. That Black Paisley sounds awesome.
Yes it does...but i've changed the pickups✌🤓
Thank you, Jon, for all of your great information.
My pleasure!✌️❤️
I bought two last week and cannot wait to get them. SC-Custom Honey Flame and a Custom Line CLA-15MCE VS. I have not bought a new guitar in over 10 years. Pretty excited.
Cool!! You're gonna enjoy them ✌️🤓
I'm with you Jonathan. My favourite guitars are the ones I've modded and made my own. I've bonded with them. I bought my first Harley Benton recently. It's a JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst fretless Jazz style bass. Great build quality. The most outstanding feature of this bass the Blackwood (Pinus Radiata) fretboard. It's similar to rosewood in colour but it's hard with a tight grain like ebony !! On a bass that costs 148 euro. Crazy. Thanks for the usual great content.
Cool!!! never tried a fretboard like that!! cant wait!🤓✌
Great video as always, Jonathan.
Got a HB 12 String which is great.
Planning on getting a FGN strat next week and after that, I'll be looking at the HB CST-24. Can't Wait.
Looking forward to your next video. Keep it up 🤘
Thank you for your kind words Morten 🤓✌️
I love your playing and no nonsense approach. Thanks for explaining your approach to gear.
Brilliant guitar licks!
Thank you for your encouragement! 🤓✌
Ordered the HB sc550 Amber paradise, won't get shipped until the 22nd May can't wait, seeing good things coming out of Harley Benton and good reviews from everyone
Enjoy yourself!’ ✌️❤️
Great video reviews, wonderful playing! And unusually well tuned guitars... that’s a bit rare, especially among the HB reviews.
Thanks!✌❤ Subscribe to the channel if you havent! Stay safe
A verry Good Conversation about his Experience , with Harley Benton ! Good LUCK !
Jonathan, I've just discovered your channel, and gotta say, i do love your playing. you're a GREAT player, not just good, and yet so humble. Love to hear you play.
Would love some instruction vids from you, your little tricks and flairs, I'm sure most of us would love to see that. Thank you. (80s big hair child here too btw).
Welcome to the channel!!🤓✌
Hi Jonathan Awesome playing awesome Demo Happy New Year Bro 🎸❤👍👍😊
Thank you so much for your videos. I as well am quickly becoming a Harley Benton fan. My first was a TE-52 Vintage , and it was so nice out of the box that I immediately ordered an ST-20 HSS. I have a Mexican Strat, a Gibson Les Paul, an Epiphone Wildkat, A Washburn, an Ibanez, a PRS Santana and a handful of cheapies, like Johnson, Washburn Lyon, and Squier (I LOVE modding up cheap guitars and experimenting with different tone), but the Harley Bentons are really impressing me RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!
The only thing I did to the TE-52 was replace the bridge saddles with a set of compensated brass saddles that I had from another bridge. If I hadn't already had those saddles I would have left it alone.
Nice!!✌️🤓
Incredible player... Love your channel Jonathan !
Thank you Judy ✌️❤️
I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel....I’m thinking about getting the 24 fret guitar..I believe it’s the cst 24t
Cool!! If you have subscribed.. Welcome to the channel!✌️❤️
I just ordered the black paisley TE-70 just like yours yesterday, now for the long wait to get it! Can't wait.
David Regnier enjoy yourself!!✌️❤️
My Paisley TE-70 (and my buddy went in to save shipping has a bass coming too) have left Thomann and are on the way to the USA!! I can't wait to become a member of the Harley Benton family
I am Groot! Cool✌️❤️
Awesome playing & excellent video as always Jonathan sir !!
Thank you so much Brother ✌️🤓
Johnathan you are by far my favourite youtuber. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Gary!🤓✌
Great video really appreciate your approach to guitars ......you sound playing and tone rock!!
Thank you 🤓✌
Shred on brother! Just bought my first (and second) HB guitar. Thanks for your help>>> cheers!
🤓✌
Jonathan you really are a incredible lead guitarist, there is no doubt!!!!! Superb!!!!!
Thank you Eddy!🤓✌
Always wondered why ! But the way you put it was convincing enough !
✌️❤️
The black paisley sounds amazing, and your unmodded cst-24.... wow. Great job Jonathan, you've made me curious about this brand.
Thanks!! It’s a no brainer.. their guitars are cheap and the quality of some of the higher range is really good✌️❤️
The usual great playing + wise words. I currently own three HB (dc/sc+/te)and I am planning to buy one more (cst/st/fussion/xt...).
cool!!! 🤓✌
Very nice playing Jonathan (as always) really dig your personal style. Agree completely on your hardware opinions. Lol those spandex eighties...great music back then, miss it.
Thanks Walt!! Welcome to the channel!😎✌
Modding makes the guitar your own. I highly recommend it. I have a few that came perfect as is but most are modded. Name brands are no exception
you are awesome jon, thanx for the beautiful vids. cheers
Thank you !!
I like your style of playing; very tasteful and it fits each song you perform! My only problem with Harley Benton is .......option anxiety,there's so many to choose from!
Lol✌️❤️
Really enjoy your playing and love of music. You are right, God is all knowing amen brother. I’m not a professional but I’m 60 yrs old and been playing since I was a teenager. I also like the fact that you look at sound and playability and not so much the name on the headstock. I have had and still have some rather expensive guitars but I have also ventured into the Harley Benton line. I bought the paisley tele after watching your review and for the money it’s unbeatable. I’m looking at the Fusion THH, such a pretty guitar. Thank you for the videos. Keep them coming.
You are most welcome David! Welcome to the channel✌️❤️
Thank you Jonathan i love my cst24 paradise flame and am looking into another possibly a tele style great playing guitars and as you stated great sound.
Thanks man :)
I think for most musicians its just great value for money. Sure they arent going to beat guitars in the $3000 price bracket but they would give any $800-1000 guitar an awesome run for their money and probably even more if you choose to upgrade some of the stock parts on the HB. Dress the frets to get them smooth and level. just small QoL improvements will make such a big difference.
Mr Koh my hat off to you, great playing, thanks for your professionall advice,
best regards.
Thank you Eddie✌️❤️
Man your my new favorite RUclips guitarist! I enjoy so much watching and listening to you play, so much emotion in your playing. Impeccable skills sir!
Thank you so much Jeff... Much obliged ✌️🤓✌️
You are an incredible player, man. I'm always amazed at your skills and good taste. I try to steal a few licks from you too. :)
steal away!!!✌❤
Great video Johnathan, I really do like your approach to everything, & I think you bring the best perspective on these guitars, because of that, I'm getting more & more interested in them, thanks for inspiring us all, stay safe my friend, Rock On & God Bless!!!
My Pleasure!🤓✌
Thanks for all the info you give and for your great playing.
Just for info I have just purchased a Fusion pro with a Floyd Rose, Grover’s, stainless steel frets etc. price is around 440 euros, put a more upmarket name on the head and you’d be paying €1000 minimum.
Keep posting brother, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you brother for your encouragement! Enjoy your new guitar!!🤓✌
What a fabulous player you are. Whoever questions that tone is the fingers has to watch this video.
✌️❤️
I recently subscribed and I'm planning to get the Harley Benton Mustang if things go well, great job on making good and quality RUclips videos, you have my respect.
Thank you John for your comments//Welcome to the channel!🤓✌
I own 19 Harley Benton guitars 🎸and is hooked on HB, sounds great playing great looks amazing thanks Jon for sharing 👍☯️💚
Most welcome!!✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoudJon Love your humbleness and presence, Thanks =) Love cheers
They are great guitars, with a little modding they can be awesome, I own a CT24 paradise flame, with a little setup work and pickup change, sounds nearly as good as my 2000 USD PRS
Yes...but still some are still convinced that cheap=bad quality ...✌🤓
My favorite part of your video is the intro song. Your solo is very beautiful. You should share a bit of your secret recipe for making a beautiful solo to us ;)
Back to the topic on this video, each guitarist has their favorite body shape, neck shape, radius, pickup sounds, etc etc. Can you explain your favorite ?
Regarding tone, my first electric guitar is fender strat. I couldn't make a good hi gain sound from it. I didn't like it so I put it in its case for more than 10 years. Several years ago, I learnt about that guitar and know why it couldn't make a good hi gain sound and how to fix it. I learnt anything that I could regarding tone and pickup. In the end, I changed all the pickups to humbucker. Now, I love my strat.
About your spoon, I think it's useful for you as a guitarist. You can tighten the washer on your tuning peg with it.
It's good to know that you finally got to play your strat again! My favorite guitar shape and neck has to be the strat.. But I would prefer a C shaped 7.25 neck.🤓✌️
I really like Harley Benton guitars. I don't own one, but I surely plan on buying 1 or 2...or 3. I'm mostly interested in the DC600 VI Vintage Series, but there aren't any good reviews of the current model anywhere.
Johathan your videos are so well grounded and common sense it was great to find your channel. You are providing a great service by doing these. Thank you for what you do! I started out on a broken down Squire that I had to learn to fix myself. I have learned to setup, modify and repair guitars much quicker and easier than learning to play them. I wonder sometimes which is the real hobby. Doesn't matter its all good clean fun. After buying 3 Gibsons I have gone full circle. I see greater value in the less expensive Guitars and enjoy the modifications. I am not down on my Gibsons but my appreciation for a nice affordable Guitar has increased since I see the great value they can be. Not to mention the variety of styles the lower price allows. As a working Pro do you see the real need for a $3000.00 guitar in your work?
Thank you for your kind comments! and welcome to the channel! No..I dont really see the need for a 3k guitar unless..I MUST have it hahah. That said...A good guitar depends on lots of variables..Wood type, Hardware, playability and style. So sometimes you do pay for what you get. 😄✌
All your HB guitar modding has been great (based on my subjective opinion). You and your guitar tech did a fantastic job. Such modding is also the reason why I like affordable guitars. I don't hesitate to "mess" with these guitars while trying to shape the sound and playability according to my taste (it takes often years). Why I am not buying many HB guitars (I have a few) is that the trend of today are 12" radius fretboards. Sure I could change the neck (to my preferred smaller vintage neck radii) but that is too much effort for me. But this was the only reason why I was going more for Vintage Guitars (designed by Bruce Wilkinson) or the more expensive Squier models (those with 9" inch fretboard radius) and not with more HB guitars. I assume that for most people HB guitars are just a fantastic option if your budget is limited or if you want to learn more about modding.
You are spot on brother! Fingerboard diameter is actually very important..🤓✌️
Hi j am Eugene from Venice, j have 5 HB and j am so great to you for yours work. You are a very important musician for me.
Wow, thank you! Stay safe!! I've been to Venice twice...Love it!✌♥
Man. I love your playing style!!
Thank you Scott ✌️❤️
That was a superb recording sound you have best I’ve heard 😮
Thank you ✌️❤️
Another good video as usual! Would you consider a couple of walk through one of (or couple) of your Helix presets what makes them so good? What tweaking needed to get an acceptable amp tone?
Hi Zoltan..I will probably do a video about it really soon 🤓✌
Wonderfully tasty playing, as always! Inspiring!
Thank you!✌😀
Hi Jonathan, Thanks for another Awesome video..
😄
hi been watching your channell for about a week ,new subscriber,i just love your style,tones,well everything and i also love harley benton guitars,i ended up getting sick so now that im on a lower income because of my health i cant afford the big boys anymore so im greatfull for HB guitars
Yes I agree!!✌️❤️
Love your video’s Jonathan! 😎👌🏻
Thank you!
Two far more important questions on that cup:
1. Are you a Star Wars fan/nerd?
2. Is it filled with coffee or tea?
And thanks for that video/thoughts ☺️👍
Lol!! 1) yes..a fan only..
2) just coffee on that mug. 🤓✌️
Thanks for sharing Jonathan. I bought 2 HB 335s for my son and I last Christmas. Absolutely love it! Way better than my LP Standard! Go figure?!?
Might consider swapping out pups ones of these days.... But until then 🎸👍
nice!!🤓✌
Received my first one yesterday its a fusion hh bengal burst can't find any thing wrong with it very impressed with the quality.it costs 348 euros wow.I own several high end guitars like music man esp ibanez and I really think that harley Benton has great value for the money.great vdeo
Thank you ✌🤓
Hi, You know it is so nice to listen to a man expressing himself as he feels it, and to do it with knowledge backed by experience is just cream on the cake, as opposed to guys on RUclips deliberately trying too hard to sound interesting, and driving you mad with their manic pantomine. Anyway I am trying to say love your channel keep on keeping on, oh and love your choice of music and playing, regards and subscribed Tom Adair.
Thank you for your kind comments and welcome to the channel ✌️🤓
I bought two Ibanez RG hard tail guitars with basswood bodies and maple wizard necks NOS for $300 each. Big buttery frets, easy and inspirational to play and awesome sound. The pickups were decent but I replaced all of them because I have specific tastes when it comes to pickups. I now have two awesome bar guitars I can throw on the back of my motorcycle here in Bangkok and not worry. Actually, I really love these things and don't want anything to happen to them they are so cool!
Cool..I love Ibanez guitars too... Owned a couple of them back in the days ✌️🤓
Just bought my first Harley Benton today, really looking forward to it arriving.
cool! Enjoy yourself!! 🤓✌
Hi what one did you get and how is it playing and feeling like 6 months down the line? All the best, James.
How is it, still like it?
@@Deliquescentinsight I do still like it Michael, a lot. More now than ever and think for the money it is an absolute bargain.
@@Crashed2023 Hi James, sorry for not getting back to you before now but I missed your message somehow. I got the HB 35 plus as I didn't have that style of guitar already. I love it, even more now that I've had it for a while and got used to it. I think HB's are great value for money and I'm now considering what one of their tele styles to go for :-)
Excellent playing, Jonathan. You certainly can lay it down!
Thank you brother ✌️🤓
that wrench spoon has been bothering me for a while as well. HAHAHA
Glad it wasn't an actual wrench!
Awesome video again bro!
Lol✌️❤️
Haha... Ive never once... Not ONCE... wondered why you were choosing Harley Bentons. I already know.
Ive been playing for a long time and ive thrown a lot of cash at guitars over the years.
Gibsons, Fenders, Heritage.
What it took me years to learn is that dollars dont equate to tone or feel or playing better.
There is no better feeling than when you buy something for very little and it rips.
Even if you have to do a few mods to make it "exactly" right....youve only spent 500 bucks on a great instrument...not $2000+.
To me its like the judge dismissing your parking ticket...getting something for free...and even better that it suits you perfectly.
Great video.
Thanks!
golly gee...i'm so glad I'm not alone!!! 😄✌
Right!! I own 3 now and will buy some more, actually like to have all their models lol
I agree. I built a Tele style kit guitar, never expecting much from it. Just did it for the enjoyment of building one. It turned out to be my favorite guitar! When I get the urge to play, it's the first one I grab. It's not about how much you've spent on a guitar, it's how it feels in your hands and how it sounds.👍😎🎸🎶
@@74dartman13 a tele and single cut kit are also on my list and of course Harley benton haha, and hope to do it good enough lol have absolutely no experience but have a friend luthier...
@@MrPoilleke It's great to have a friend like that! Good luck!👍😎🎸🎶
Day-yum son! Great playing...great advice. The 80’s did rock!
Yep.. it rocked big time ✌️🤓
