You have one of the best reviewing system I have seen! Nice playing, great tone,I am impressed!Keep up the great work you have won a viewer sir!Many good things to you - Peace
This is the best guitar review I have ever seen. For those of us who know what specs we like in a neck the measurements you showed are really valuable.
One of the best guitar reviews I've seen. The small window in the upper right hand corner with the animation of the pickups being used was a stroke of genius. HB has some great guitars for a very low price.
Truly excellent review! I am 61 years old and have been reading reviews since before you were born. I have owned 100’s of guitars since 1973, and now truly know what I like and don’t like. I particularly like the fact that you measure the frets. I have found that lots of people say medium jumbo for their frets, but they are not. They are either smaller than that, ( most common) or occasionally larger like this guitar. As a result of watching your review (I love fat frets and I cannot lie 😀) I will now be going to but one of these tomorrow. Thank you Max and more power to you.
I love how you break everything down. I wish other channels measured the neck shape & frets instead of describing them based on their opinion. Much appreciated. You have a new subscriber.
A great & recent example I can give is, I’ve been interested in the Yamaha Revstar line of electrics. All the demo videos out there have been pretty lacking in information. One RUclipsr says it’s has a chunky neck. I thought “great”! I picked one up 2 weeks ago and it has a real slim neck. I still like the guitar but I wish it had a fatter neck. I know someone will say “that’s why you need to try one out at a store”. If they were around here I would.
@@MrTimThunder Decent brands provide this indication. Ibanez list their neck thickness for all models and Yamaha do to. Here's the Revstar: uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/rs/specs.html#product-tabs 21 to 25 mm is on the thicker side of things.
Best guitar I've ever bought for the money. I bought the Floyd Rose version and it stays in tune better than this one would for sure. I wish I had three pickups though and wish the volume knob was not as close to the whammy areas as well.
I just stumbled onto this channel. And the review procedure was fantastically thorough and professionally implemented. Maybe the best on RUclips. Looking forward to future segments -- and obviously, I subscribed. Thanks, Max!
Outstanding info and to-the-point sound demo ! No need to spend more time listening to pedal-rigged demos made by speedy showing off shredders. You’re the best !
Im only just getting into guitars because im gonna buy one for my 18th birthday, i dont even have knowledge that goes this far yet the review is entertaining and informative, great content!
What a great review! No one else but you entered so in dept on feature like fret size, neck profile (very usefull the neck profile comparition with othere brands!) and neck dimensions. Thanks for these precious information.
If every review were like this, the world would be a much better place ;) Thank you for your efforts!

Thank you for the review! I'm in the process of deciding for a versatile guitar, and while I was pondering about a Fender MIM Player Stratocaster, these Harley Benton Fusion series did grab my attention. Your video will help me immensely about making an educated decision, as one cannot try a Harley Benton at a local shop. Great stuff!
I have both. The Fusion came perfect, the Fender MIM had to go right to an authorized repair dealer because of two high frets. Fender covered it under warranty though, which was cool
I love that you did the neck profile in this video... The one thing that i always want to know in every single guitar is the neck profile. having small hands i'm limited to what is comfortable for me. Thank you kindly for doing this. Please do this on all your guitar reviews. It helps me when buying guitars.
love the camera direction and quality. of course your explanation is useful and very good. THanks for sharing the video and information for Harley Benton Guitar. I have been using one of HB guitars and a fan, THanks again
1. Agree with comments below: best review system and best reviewer. Subscribed! 2. Nothing actually "bad" can be said about HBs. You get so so many cool features for such an affordable price! I mean, getting an HB means trying to save some $$, in most cases, so those minuscule details are irrelevant - IMHO Great video!
What a beautiful guitar. If I were a real lead guitar player on be all over one of these. But I like the simplicity and the sticky single-coil pickup sound of a Tele. I wish HB would make a tele style with Mexican tele sized SS frets, single coil pickups, matching headstock and a Floyd Rose trem. And I agree with everybody else... Your reviews are the best.
I have just watched your review in awe. You are the best guitar reviewer I have seen to date; and I review guitars too. The detail is superb and the presentation is excellent. I will learn from you. Well done. TB’s My Time TV.
If anyone is having any doubts - just buy one. I couldn't believe myself how good this guitar is. Not all HB are good guitars, but Fusion II is outstanding
Wow! Excellent video.. super informative and very thorough! Thanks for a great unbiased review. Your point system is on point 😆. I’ve seen a couple of your videos before, but this one is the best to date. You hit all of the bases and probably answered more questions than you know. I’m a fan...
Hi Max. Your channel is awesome !! I bought a Mooer 9v power supply because of you and it's dead silent. Thank you and keep rockin man !! Cheers from Brazil ! I'm inscribed, off course :)
I have to say that your review is excellent my friend. Worth a subscription for sure :-) I personally have the roasted/toasted flame maple neck on my HSH 11, and actually am pretty happy with it. For the price I think it is a grand guitar... Also was very surprised when I got the VINTAGE Stratocaster ST-62 so much fun to play on my BLACKSTAR tube amp!!!! Yeah, Harley Benton has surprised me quite some, and a tad more...
Thank you for a very detailed, scientific style review as often reviews tend to be more subjective and incomplete. I appreciated the sound comparison to the Strat as a benchmark of its tone as compared to a better known instrument.
@@MaxSoloMusic I'd love to see a review of the CST-42, ST-70 or ST-62 Series and how they compare to standard Strat. Good luck with your next one, but I want you to know your effort is appreciated.
Very methodical review, well done. And decent, brief, comparative playing too. Some folks play too much. I disagree with the points off for lack of tools..., I have way more tools sitting around than the ones that come with this guitar... Overall, very helpful... Thanks Max!
Great presentation. All the facts no fluff and your visual aids and graphics are superb. You get your points across with crystal clarity. I do think you are a bit harsh deducting 2 penalty points for the two extra tools needed for adjustments. Most guitars don't come with any tools.
Thanks for the in depth critique! Not just reading specs like others do. Good to know you’d need to address the tone pot but has some beautiful pickup combos like the middle and split neck!
Thank you! Getting some actually useful info on the neck shape and frets was gold. Same with tone comparisons, checking the shielding etc. I've seen a bunch of HB reviews and it seems they are either superficial or the people reviewing doesn't play good enough for me to trust their opinion.
Really liked the detail in this review, the graphics of the pickups work really well. The penalty points system is a great way to judge all guitars the same. I thought the neck profile examples was a really good idea as well. Nice work.
Thank you very much for this video. I am thinking of buying one of these as my old Les Paul copy has seen better days and your review has convinced me to buy one. Now, I wonder if anyone wants a 65-year old guitarist in their band...
Nice review Max, enjoyed watching. Great scientific approach, a wonderful way of organising the many thoughts associated with choosing and receiving a guitar, into a form we can all understand!
Awesome video, glad I stumbled across your channel last week. Your reviews are amazing. I love the way you look not only at sound and asthetics, but also the wiring and overall construction of the guitar. Finding those extra noises was something most would have missed - especially a noob like me!
That was a great review, I am always skeptical about the impact the amps are having on a guitar, and the switch between the Strat and this was really good to hear. Think this may be my next purchase and Harley Benton and Thomann should know that this is down to your review.
Hi, first video that I watch from you and I love the fast way how you analize every point, very practical and little talking. And also you don´t missed any point of the specs of the guitar... so gut as Darrel Braun Guitar Channel or few others... subscribed and like to you bro PS: I would aprecciate if you just show how to get rid of the noise... big thanks
Good video, very informative....so much that I ordered the maple neck, ebony fret board version for under £300! Looks like a great guitar for the money.
overall - build, quality, finishes, hardware. There are obviously going to be corners that are going to be cut on the cheap guitar and these cuts can range from anything and everything. Bad finish, bad paint job. bad inlay job. misaligned pickups. Not as ergonomic or balanced so uncomfortable to play standing up for long periods etc etc etc. More expensive guitars will always have more attention to detail and quality with less imperfections.... Unless youre Gibson of course. There is a time and place for more expensive guitars. These HB guitars however are more affordable working man's guitar. you can gig it, beat it and scuff it up and you wont be as pissed about it. HB do make good guitars but there are lots that leave the factory needing to be set up or having imperfections that wasnt fixed before it left the factory. If you watch some HB videos of people reviewing their HB guitars, you will hear about them. The guitars that do leave the factory for reviewers to be reviewed do get cherry picked and have more attention payed to them IMO - Even though reps at thomann have denied this. Some times there are a few minor issues and imperfections but they are only very minor compared to average joes who bought their guitar directly from thomann who might require a set up, fret levelling/sanding of sharp edges etc etc. Im not saying super expensive guitars are all perfect. a few do slip through the cracks but those are very few and far between. ::EDIT:: Oh and better tailored hardware - Pickups are usually paired with the guitar because of the way they sound. A lot of time and money has gone into making those pickups where as not as much love or detail went into making those Roswells. Of course they work. They are functional and serviceable. but at the end of the day, they are cheap and mass produced and that sort of production will only get you so far. But sounds are subjective. Some people might like how muddy cheap pickups sound because it fits with their sludge/doom metal band where as for more technical players might not like it because the pickups dont offer that clarity and separation in the high end or the lack of mid range etc etc. Other hardware like tuners and bridges can be their own in house cheaply made tat - This guitar is made to be affordable. the quality of materials is going to suffer in one way or another. I watched in another video where a guy switched out the bridge of his HB with a Wilkinson wrap around or fixed bridge and he got so much more sustain out of the guitar. The acceptable margin for error and imperfections is a lot higher compared to more expensive guitars.
RoseOfHizaki I agree with your points but these days you can get a cheap guitar that plays great. You really couldn’t about 15 years ago.gibson seem to be the laziest of the big names however.
@@Rose.Of.Hizaki that's not my experience of higher end Harley Benton's. The main reason they are cheaper is that they have no distributor network - they are selling them wholesale via one retailer not because they are cutting corners. Most other guitar makes have more middle men taking a slice of profit. In fact they are probably coming out of the same factories as the more expensive guitars with a similar QC and spec (excluding GIbson who are worse at QC!).
This is how every guitar review should be done!
This is exactly the comment I wanted to post !
100% agree
Wow, a guy who does gear reviews with a guitar that's actually in tune. Remarkable.
Max is the most detailed review ever in the world
Subbed because of pickup test portion with active pickup highlighted. I'm dumb, so I appreciated that level of extreme clarity
You have one of the best reviewing system I have seen! Nice playing, great tone,I am impressed!Keep up the great work you have won a viewer sir!Many good things to you - Peace
Thanks James!
I really like the details in your review, like the red marks to show which pickup is used during playing. Very helpful, thanks!
This is the best guitar review I have ever seen. For those of us who know what specs we like in a neck the measurements you showed are really valuable.
One of the best guitar reviews I've seen. The small window in the upper right hand corner with the animation of the pickups being used was a stroke of genius. HB has some great guitars for a very low price.
Excellent video! Great information, delivered succinctly and precisely.
I think this is the greatest review I saw ever anyone make on whole internet!
Freezing the video at 3:40 provides the most valuable information that's ever been provided in a RUclips guitar review. Bravo, Sir.
Thanks :) I've just improved it in my video on Fusion-T
Finally a guitar channel that gives detailed info on the shape and size of the neck!!! Well done and keep them coming.

I still feel like the 'my opinion' part would be good to have. I'll cover that in the next episode
Fully agreed. Others tell you the neck "feels comfortable" the same way their shoes do. It says nothing of value.
A great & recent example I can give is, I’ve been interested in the Yamaha Revstar line of electrics. All the demo videos out there have been pretty lacking in information. One RUclipsr says it’s has a chunky neck. I thought “great”! I picked one up 2 weeks ago and it has a real slim neck. I still like the guitar but I wish it had a fatter neck.

21 to 25 mm is on the thicker side of things.
Hey Max appreciate you taking the time to do this for everyone
Very good review... I have 3 HB guitars and they do a great job in my studio!
Stumbled across your review by accident. Totally impressed by it and just subscribed. One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Great job!
SAME.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I LOVED THE FACT THAT YOU COMPARED WITH A STRAT BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED IT COMPARED TO AND SORRY FOR SCREAMING IN HAPPINESS!!!
Nice :)

such a high quality video! Great attention to detail. Almost par to no other channel I've seen to date.

Thanks! Now I'm thinking about what shall i compare the Fusion-T to. I don't have a real Tele

This is the best review of guitar i've ever seen! :)
Thanks for uploading the Clean Sound
Great review my friend getting ready to purchase a used that has been modified
Excellent reviewing method, clear and concise.....that fusion sounds better than the start....can you show us beginners how to fix noise issues?
Hey. I usually use velcro to mute strings and springs. Tesla string damper works great too!
This guy makes excellent reviews.
This guy watches them and writes comments. Thanks for that!
best review i ever saw keep up the good work man
This guitar looks great. I might have to check one out.
Ooof... not digging those clean tones though.
What’s point of expensive guitars again? Has a better build than my Gibson sg ffs!
overall - build, quality, finishes, hardware. There are obviously going to be corners that are going to be cut on the cheap guitar and these cuts can range from anything and everything. Bad finish, bad paint job. bad inlay job. misaligned pickups. Not as ergonomic or balanced so uncomfortable to play standing up for long periods etc etc etc.
More expensive guitars will always have more attention to detail and quality with less imperfections.... Unless youre Gibson of course.
There is a time and place for more expensive guitars. These HB guitars however are more affordable working man's guitar. you can gig it, beat it and scuff it up and you wont be as pissed about it.
HB do make good guitars but there are lots that leave the factory needing to be set up or having imperfections that wasnt fixed before it left the factory. If you watch some HB videos of people reviewing their HB guitars, you will hear about them.
The guitars that do leave the factory for reviewers to be reviewed do get cherry picked and have more attention payed to them IMO - Even though reps at thomann have denied this. Some times there are a few minor issues and imperfections but they are only very minor compared to average joes who bought their guitar directly from thomann who might require a set up, fret levelling/sanding of sharp edges etc etc.
Im not saying super expensive guitars are all perfect. a few do slip through the cracks but those are very few and far between.
::EDIT::
Oh and better tailored hardware - Pickups are usually paired with the guitar because of the way they sound. A lot of time and money has gone into making those pickups where as not as much love or detail went into making those Roswells. Of course they work. They are functional and serviceable. but at the end of the day, they are cheap and mass produced and that sort of production will only get you so far.
But sounds are subjective. Some people might like how muddy cheap pickups sound because it fits with their sludge/doom metal band where as for more technical players might not like it because the pickups dont offer that clarity and separation in the high end or the lack of mid range etc etc.
