@@thenovicenoisemaker Harley Benton really have changed the whole guitar market amazing guitars not just for the low price but at almost any price I would put my Fusion III HSH up against almost any guitar at even 5 times the price looks at the new Fender ones came out recently £2000 and no stainless steel frets 🙄🤬Enjoy your channel keep up the good work 👍🤘
It’s great value for sure! I don’t like the HB flame necks, had a couple and they are quite chunky or look cheap somehow, almost like flame vaneer, really odd
Hell yeah new geetar day!!! The harley benton stuff is proper tempting :) You know its going to be a good day when your smiling :) Theres nowt boring about liking certain shapes, im always drawn to lp or tele single cuts :) Looks bloody awesome though sir :)
Hiya Rich. like the look of the flame body and that roasted neck, however I'm not keen on the sparkly pickgaurd I don't think it goes with the rest ot the guitar
my friend, very good video....I just want to buy this guitar, the st modern hss, since you have many harley bentons, do you recommend this one if I want a versatile one for various musical styles, yes, greetings
The more I tried to tune it, the tighter the strings got, it just kept lifting the bridge up higher and higher. Needed tightening. I’m always out of tune at the best time times and trems make life worse so I don’t use them
@@thenovicenoisemaker There are plenty of good videos on how to set up a strat tremelo- it is really easy. The rear of the trem should float about 3mm off the body anyway. Give the strings a quick yank as you tune to settle them.
@@thenovicenoisemaker Yes indeed sir 👍🙋🙂. I have no idea how Harley Benton can sell these so cheap as if you buy a basic Affinity Stratocaster that will be £200 pounds 😱
Wow its an stunner !!! Harley Benton have really raised the bar with this new range. That model must be the best budget guitar by far !!!
Absolutely right Dave! Burning can beat this for £168, not even a Jet
WOW! Harley Benton has raised the bar for others to follow. Too bad frets are nickel instead of stainless. Thanks for sharing, Rich!
The ST modern plus has stainless steel frets 👍🤘
It really is a great guitar

@markproctor3100 thanks Mark. Fender prices are nuts these days!
I've never had a Harley Benton think this might just have tempted me to change that 🤘🤘
Go for it Jamie!
I want one...or two! I think I'd pay the extra for the modern plus+. That would make a good comparison vid Rich.

Thank you John! Loving this so far
@@thenovicenoisemaker dont blame you its a stonkin geetar for the money :)
Wow! that is an amazing guitar for at that price. I think the flame is alright, looks the same on both sides.🙂
It looks like a £400 guitar. 👍
Thanks buddy, I agree, incredible value

I’m not a big fan of pearloid either but it’s not offending me in this occasion 🤣
Good looking guitar that and the price wow
Isn’t it just ☺️
It looks like a Chapman ML1 Pro Hybrid in Phoenix Red but with a pickguard. How is the neck compared to Chapman's?
It does a bit, yes. Neck is not as fat overall, it feels very good
I have the sea foam green arriving tomorrow.
How do you find the pickups ?
Nice!
I think they’re great ! Keep me posted
@@thenovicenoisemaker excellent. Will do 👍
Nice, is it heavy? I heard the plus version is 4 kilos, quite heavy for a Strat.
It’s not that heavy, definitely under 4kg by some way
my friend, very good video....I just want to buy this guitar, the st modern hss, since you have many harley bentons, do you recommend this one if I want a versatile one for various musical styles, yes, greetings
It’s a great guitar, go for it
The st modern hss ??? Yes my friend @@thenovicenoisemaker
Yes 👍🏻
I cannot understand what the problem with tuning it is. Floating trem? (just keep going- it should float anyway), high frets?
The more I tried to tune it, the tighter the strings got, it just kept lifting the bridge up higher and higher. Needed tightening. I’m always out of tune at the best time times and trems make life worse so I don’t use them

@steveworth544 thanks Steve, I’m happy not to use it though 👍🏻
Tune it!
Listen to what I’m saying about tuning it 🙄
Bargain

@ChrisAyres-do4fz yes absolutely!
