Dude, you are one of the best players I've heard on RUclips. Your phrasing and execution is impeccable...It goes to show 80 to 90% of what makes a guitar sound good is in the players fingers. I've heard a lot of other players on $2,500 guitars that don't sound half as good as you.
Thank you Alex for your kind comments!! ✌🤓
Your absolutely right bro,,, nothing can replicate the human touch,,, no pedal, no amp, no guitar !!!! 😁🖒✌
Well said man. It just shows how worthless all the expensive stuff is if you can't actually play. Jonathan is just amazing.
Totally agree 👍👌💯👋🎸🎸
Congratulations, your the first to properly demonstrate it's sound up and down the neck instead of banging away with distortion which doesn't allow for a real idea of it's range or capabilities. Thank you.
Thank you Mike✌️❤️
Your very welcome. You did it right.
I really enjoy you playing it. You sir are the reason why I bought this guitar. My first guitar ever. Thank you.
You’re most welcome ✌️❤️
Such tasty playing. So cleanly executed. I love Teles with Humbuckers. I still have my Yamaha SSJ-550 HR (bought it back in 1987!), and it still plays great, though now it has DiMarzio's in it.
Nice!! A Yamaha Tele!! Those Japanese made models are really good 🤓✌️
Jon is never too loud! ❤️
✌️❤️
So I just got a confirmation from Thomann that the fretboard is Blackwood✌🤓
Hello, the guitar where is it made?
@Erich Dennis are you sure about that?
Hi Jon, have you got around to modding this? If so, how does it sound and what were the mods you made? I'm thinking of getting this and replacing the pups for some Seymour Duncans.
Alfie Proctor no Alfie.. you probably missed out what I said in the video. The guitar does not belong to me. And it’s still in modded. Or sounds great as it is✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud haha okay. Maybe I should watch the whole video before asking a question 😂
Your playing is so fantastic! You make every single Harley Benton you review sound amazing. Well done!!!
Thank you Dave 🤓✌️
Man, I just love all of these guitars that HB is bringing to the table. They are Killing it !!! TY Bro for another review and great jam session as well !!! Its all good in the hood ! 😁🖒✌
Jonathan, you are an absolute boss of guitar demos. I love them. Love your playing, perfect phrasing, and your tones are so tasty, Helix Native is about the most attractive sounding software currently available. I want it all. Phenomenal.
Thank you for your kind words 🤓✌️
That playing and tone makes my heart smile great job brother!
I love your channel being a professional musician myself I have to say I love your playing from the heart and soul is easily felt!
Thank you for your kind words brother.. Much obliged 🤓✌️
I really like your channel you are soft spoken and amazing guitar player.
Rui Kade thank you! And welcome to the channel✌️❤️
Not for nothin' but Jon seems to make every guitar he reviews seem great!
lol

Gorgeous guitar and instrumental playing. I have two Harley Bentons with Roswell pickups and neither needed any modifications which is unheard of in the price range. If I bought the squiers instead I'd definitely be upgrading at the $100-$150 price range.
Enjoy your post Jonathan, good informative guitar reviews, researched, and thought out, with a little downhome nice guy vibe, and you play pretty darn good too.
Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoy the channel! 🤓✌
Hello Jonathan, Totally love your reviews. Like your laid back approach and your playing and tone is always amazing. You cover all the important things we have questions on a particular guitar. Keep up the good work. Greetings from El Paso,Texas
Thank you Billy!! Stay safe✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Likewise, stay safe my friend. 🎸
This is a very nice guitar. I really love the tone of this one.
This was a timely review. I have been considering purchasing this model. Thanks.
You're most welcome!!🤓✌️
The tone is absolutely fantastic!!! You’re really talented in guitar! Subscribed
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
I bought this guitar partly due this video. And I´m loving it. Thanks Jonathan! I´ll be seeing you in here at future as well. Great Channel.
Most welcome✌️❤️
Jonathan, I always listen to your reviews of Harley Benton guitars for one thing you can make the guitar do what it does best and if there was a problem with it you would say it. Plus you are in my opinion one of the best lead guitar players in the world but you are so humble you would never wear the crown but you could take it from most that are out there. Love your reviews cause I get to hear you play a pleasant song not a head banging riff with feed back. Thanks Bruce from Michigan
Thank you so much for your Kind comments Bruce ✌️❤️
Thank you for your review, Jonathan. This is a beautiful guitar after about a week I did notice the bridges had a little bit of an issue. I rotated the bridge having the tension reversed on the pins and this corrected the issues and improve the intonation and pins popping. This is a great guitar and a bargain at the price.
Great!! Well you solve that problem yourself!! ✌️❤️
I'm thoroughly convinced... I'm ordering this guitar... Been eyeing up the TE 40 for quite some time now, going through my due diligence, and from all I could gather Harley Benton is crushing it and this guitar is no exception
Hope you will enjoy your new guitar 🤓✌️
Jeff Elm how is it
Always great reviews! I watch your videos from start to finish. I spoted this guitar too and I think it looks great and sound good too… Thanks for your fantastic videos. Cheers mate!
My pleasure✌️❤️
I keep coming back to this review to hear your playing. I'm just learning at this point, but I aspire to have some thin, shadowy, reflection of your skills one day. Wonderful stuff !
✌️🤓
Go to the Laney Lionhart L5T-112 Demo. Here on youtube,, (with seymore duncan pick ups ) And listen to that guy play !!!
Thats been my go to get inspired to play channel !!!! Lol !!!! Some of these guys are better than the pros out there !!! Enjoy ! 😁🖒✌
Very subtle and tasty playing, love your style. I am waiting for my TE 40...and a roasted Fusion 2...you triggered my Harley Benton "fever". I am blown away by their price/quality (got already the CST24T). Thanks Jonathan.👍
Oh yea.. They are great guitars got that price range 🤓✌️
Stop !!!!!! I am running out of money and my wife out of patience..... your amazing reviews and beautiful playing is more infectious than any virus....
lol!!!! well..at least you wont have a dry cough/fever and breathing problems..unless you're running away from the beating your wife is going to give you!!! 😝
Jonathan Koh thanks for your encouragement 😳😳😳
Tasty playing Jon - Sweeeeet guitar looks freekin awesome. So impressed with these Harley Benton guitars so much quality for a very fair price. I'M waiting on my 7 string fan fret - In Texas (Austin area) taking a bit longer than Europe.
Yep..I was slightly taken aback at how awesome it looked and played🤓✌
Alright, I'll try one of those Harley Bentons now, you sold me :)
Beautiful playing as always!
hahahha...Thanks for the comments! 🤓✌
I just watch your videos for the playing. Absolutely stunning..!
Thank you Yaber for your kind comments!🤓✌️
Sounds absolutely stunning. I like your idea about alternate nut color. Great demo!
Vanity vanity...lol
Thank you for your comments Earl🤓✌️
you, sir, deserve more subs! well played/reviewed.
Thank you kindly! 🤓✌
Shydn Crumph well I just added one!
I bought one. Just received it today. Very satisfied
Cool👍
Love your videos Jon, A great help in searching a new guitar. Thanks
I’m glad to help ✌️🤓
Beutiful songs for this demo! Enjoy you new guitar day! This guitar looks and sounds pretty good! There's always another new guitar day in the future!
Thank you for your kind comments!! 🤓✌️
...you conviced me to get TE-40...next week is mine...can't wait to play it...hope it will go well...
Enjoy!!! ✌❤
It caught my fancy too... And now I have one 😎 Very satisfied with my purchase.
Cool✌️❤️
Love your video. Love the guitar. Your playing is awesome, too. Very tempted to buy one.
Thank you! 🤓✌
Fantastic playing by Jonathan. I love his reviews, he is so talented, helpful, and extremely modest. Keep 'em coming, Jonathan. Think I am going to get one of those TE-40's. I have a couple of HB guitars already. Not 100% perfect; the ST-62 had a poorly cut nut and the CST needed a little set-up work. But for the money? Ridiculously good value. Way better than any Squire or Ephphone I have tried (many).
Thank you for your kind words Tim✌️🤓
Thank you Tim ✌️🤓
Nice review. I am thinking about purchase this guitar.
Thanks Jonathan! Great video. I just ordered this guitar.
Hope you enjoy it!
Fabulous playing and i ordered this guitar cause of your review!
Awesome!!! Good for you 🤪
I´m a rock / metal player and i was thinking about buying this guitar and putting some emg pickups in it ;)
Great review, beautiful playing!
Thank you for your comments!!✌✌
Love the Clapton change the world version you did ....
Jon give me lessons!!!!
I would love to... But I'm so caught up in my work as it is... Maybe I'll have some down time after August??
Great playing and review, subbed!!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!!! :)
Your playstyle is so beautiful. I hope one day I will play as good as you. Im honored to hear you play.
Thank you… you will ✌️❤️
Love that flawless playing, Jonathan. Looks like a pau ferro fret board but it's difficult to be certain. A very nice guitar and a great modding platform.
Hi Buddy! So I just got a confirmation from Thomann that the fretboard is Blackwood✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Well that just shows what I know!! Anyway who would complain at that price. Nice work Jonathan.
@@bassmana2z686 hahah hey..me too!!! hahah you take care brother 🤓✌
I just love Your playing , thank you for Your posts .
Thank you Felix✌️🤓
Beautiful guitar with a great bold sound -- professional.
Thank you ✌️😀
Dude! That’s some steely Dan quality playing! Bravo!
Thank you kindly!✌♥
Been looking for an HH tele with belly cut and forearm bevel. This might just fit the bill!! Great playing as always!
Thank you Ian...This guitar is a joy to play on! 🤓✌
Amazing value for money, Great Video Jonathan! Subscribed! ;0)
Thanks for the sub! welcome to the channel!!✌❤
This is my next purchase, thanks for sharing bro!
I'd update it with Gibson Burstbucker Pro and Gotoh bridge.
Awesome!! Yea was thinking of changing that cheap looking bridge too😆✌️
Man! Beautiful playing!
Thanks a lot!
Guitar skills at 💯 great vid👌
Thank you!!✌️🤓
super, i will also buy it next time, it looks sooo good
Yes... For that price.. It's a bargain ✌️🤓
Ha Jonathan I did get the TE-40 back into the shop for a better set up and I am extremely pleased with the results this time. You can split the coils on this beast, I don't know how Hi-Tech did it but he did. Bad news on the neck it turned out to be a lot worse then anyone thought or found up to this point, I'm kinda in trouble and are in need of pray they is a growth on my brain stem so Gods got this.
Ok Mike... sorry to hear about this. Will be praying for you✌️❤️
Very nice playing! Really useful to know the weight of the guitar! Thanks
Thank you!! 🤓✌️
gorgeous guitar well reviewed
Thank you kindly Stevie!✌🤓
watching you make me thinks like you are the jack thammarat in senior years....hats off sir.
Thank you ✌️🤓
Subscribed for your tasty playing... the reviews are a bonus.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 🤓✌
Hey Jonathan great vid.. Looks like you were looking for the trem bar during the demo.. Lol
lol!! yea...you caught me!!🤓✌
Good review. Subscribed.
Thank you 🤓✌️
sir you made me buy my first guitar ever at the agee of 22
really? lol
Jonathan Koh yeah it’s coming in 8 days, and I can’t stress enough how excited i am
@@xFnkky I hope you are enjoying it young man.👍
Great demo ! Greetings from Mexico City !
Hola!!✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Hello Jonathan I'm going to buy the guitar because your demo , thanks !
I came for the review... quite good guitar for a beginner who likes T-shape and HH mics.
But I watched and rewatched the video for the tune you´re playing. Some parts... licks... put my jaw down on the floor. I´d give an arm, or two, to play 10% as good as you do. Well, it would be even harder without my arms, actually.😁
You won a subscriber... and a hardcore fan! 🙂
Best regards from a French old fart living in Peru. 👍
Merci ~ and welcome to the Channel ✌️❤️
Love the way you play 🤘🏽
WillyKDM thank you ✌️🤓
Finally got my TE-40 this week and I was shocked at how great it is. I've had a Harley Benton CST-24HB TOL Tobacco Flame for about 3 months. I don't really like the CST C shape neck and I've had to carefully file down the sharp frets. The TE-40 has better machine heads. The CST cost $208 compared to the $130 TE-40. The CST weighs a ton (Les Paul weight almost) which is surprising for a semi-hollow body. The TE-40 doesn't have the split coil but that is the only disadvantage if you want to call it that. If you're considering a PRS style guitar against a Tele style from Harley Benton save yourself $80 and get the TE-40. It's as much fun to play as my 91 Strat Plus Deluxe and I don't have to worry about it getting scratched or dinged....it's only worth $130 not $1700. The body contours on the Strat and the TE-40 fit you like a glove. (I wish the TE-40 had a tremolo bar). ****I bought roller string trees - Thank you for the tip Jonathan. Great video as usual.
I'm glad you are liking your TE40✌️🤓
Love your videos... Great vibes
Thank you! :)
I like that green/blue guitar!
Yea.. That guitar is just an awesome guitar ✌️🤓
Great stuff Jonathan
Thanks buddy ✌️😆
I just purchased the HB Les Paul gold top with P 90 s. See how the HBs are and like you have some guitars I won’t be worried about getting banged up a little. Thx for your great reviews
Doing good job playing the guitar too!👍👍😎
Mike Naykki thank you ✌️🤓
Hi Jonathan, your music/playing @ 4:04 is excellent as always! IMO the TE40 is a little beauty--indeed a very nice design. Are you gonna change the PUs? 😉 Thanks for sharing! Be good! 😎✌️
Hi Frank.. Hahahaha I'm always good...I think.. No.. I've decided to keep the stock pups on after hearing and seeing this video. I think they are nice enough to remain in the guitar ✌️🤓
Wauw... Thats a revieuw! Most players are just playing around(nothing wrong with it) but i perfer this kind of playing.. this vid convinced me to get one.
Thanks Sean✌️🤓
great reviews I enjoy them keep it up....
Thank you Bernie ✌️❤️
Great playing dude!
Thanks man ✌️🤓
Got to stop looking at your reviews,every time i do i buy a new guitar. Great review Jonathan i a'm going to order the TE 40 Lefty
hahahah ok...go for it!!😊✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud it's on it's way "Lefty of course "
mirecmusic cool!!
Love your phrasing! Reminds me of Brett Garsed. Great review too
Thank you Justin! Brett Garsed is a killer guitar player!! Love his work with John Farnham 🤓✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud i love his Farnham work! (And Nelson) I make the band I'm in cover Farnham songs, as an excuse to play his solos! (Being in Australia, everyone loves it)
I had the privilege of seeing Brett play every Thursday night in Melbourne with a band called Damage.
I've always been a fan of Humbuckers and i do love Les Pauls, but there's just something about a Tele body that does it for me.
Been looking for a guitar that would give me the best of both worlds but need both my arms and legs. I have an Ibanez gio H.S.H and was looking at buying a Tele body and neck and fitting the electronics from the Ibanez to it. But they are Ibanez , so ....
Then i saw this review and for the price of this H\B, I'm going to save myself time and money and go for it.
Have watched so many reviews on Harley Benton guitars and believe that price wise, they are probably the best on the market today.
Thanks for this review and will let Thomann know that it is because of you that they have made another sale.
Thanks again.
My pleasure ✌️❤️
Thanks for the info
Harley Benton should sponsor you Johnathan, you do such a great job demoing them :)
Hahahaha..I can only wish ✌️🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud you can always fill in the form become Thomann Linkpartner Jon :-)
Sweet guitar.
I bought this one, but I must of had a bad pickup or something as it rang like a bell. Every touch seemed amplified and if you knocked on the body you could hear the springs through the pickups. I didn't keep it, I sold it as returning it from Canada for replacement was as half much as the guitar itself. Aesthetically though.. it was beautiful, and felt nice to play.
Sorry to hear that✌💚
Sweet....Sweet...&..Smooth...Tone..i Love this
Thank you ✌️❤️
Nice review buddy, mine arrives Monday.
Awesome!! Betcha can't wait!!✌️😜
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Yep, I get it tomorrow!
Cool ✌️🤓
Hey Jonathan, loving your videos, especially the Harley Benton reviews. I purchased the HB TE40 TBK and I am loving it, it's quality is beyond me for the price. I was wondering if you will ever do a re visit on this guitar? Did you ever put in the graphtec nut? I did! Looks really slick all black headstock and sounds better.
Cool!!! The guitar I reviewed before to a friend. ✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Ah I see! Rock on!
I personally don't care for the tele shape. But Harley Benton are an amazing value for what your paid. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to play it's a great setup and very playable right out of the box
Yes it is 🤓✌️
About the fretboard, the old ones with the old logo used to have them in Pau Ferro, and they look quite reddish in colour. The new ones probably use blackwood instead as it says in the specs.
Thank you for the info!!! :)
Sweet playing! :)
Thank you 😆
lovely jazz rock blues fusion,,,
Thanks!
You have good taste!,, I want one!
You should!✌♥
Hey Jonathan, what is the type of music you are playing at 4:04. I would love to find myself some sheets. Also, amazing playing. You convinced me to start playing guitar again after 6 years. Keep up the good work!
Thank you ! ✌♥It could be considered funk rock....
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks for the fast answer
You're a great musician.
You're too kind ✌️🤓
You love that Guitar...
Yes I do!!🤓✌️
Very impressed by your playing throughout this demo, great video! And the guitar sounds pretty good too. The brightness of the humbuckers is surprising but I found it brings up the telecaster character to this dual humbucker guitar. At some times, I really thought that you had a split coil. But a bright chimy sound out of a tele is not too surprising I guess.
Yes Joel.. It does.. After all it's shaped like a tele.. Might as well sound a bit like one.. Thank you for your kind cooperation🤓✌️
Going with the gold look of this guitar I think HB missed a trick by not having brass coloured frets to match the gold finish everywhere else.
Thanks for the review Jonathan.
Good point! Glad you like it!
I like the red one they do with the p90s ☺
yes...that one looks pretty interesting!!! 🤓✌
Wow, wish they would add more protective packing. Shipping to the U.S., these axes must take a heck of a beating. Great playing and review, as usual!
I just got the exact same guitar today, and I think Jonathan just didn't bother showing the first unboxing, where he unboxes the guitar box from a much larger one filled with paper for additional padding.
Thanks Chip✌️❤️
Heyitsvonage yes there was a lager robust box before the unboxing ✌️❤️
Love your playing Jonathan you can make any guitar sound fab to me....thanks
Thank you✌️❤️
nice guitar and great playing!! oh to be half as good as that! :)
Thank you Jim...I try... Remember.. Practice makes perfect 🤓✌️
