I decided for this video to let the guitar to the talking and really let you decide if it's a good guitar. There's a mix of playing to a backing track and just noodling on my own with various sounds throughout. What do you think to this style of video and would you like to see more of it?
Not just for beginners. If you like to tinker it's a cheap mod platform to make it truly your own. Mine is arriving in a few days and I'm changing the tuners to locking and a nice SD pickup set plus getting the neck scalloped because that will make it look even cooler than it does.
Well I totally agree with what you said! I think that it is an excellent guitar for a beginner, when I bought my first one, it was at the same price but it was way less playable, it sounded like shit and had tons of tuning and white noise issues. Then, the HB looks dope, that shape and the colour is awesome! Definetely a good guitar to start with! Loved your review too! I honestly loved all of your sounds and how you explained everything a beginner needs to know when buying a guitar. Great vid, watched it till the end!
I am a bassist, but decided to get this one as my first electric guitar. Since i like to write my songs on guitar, sometimes i like to hear it on electric instead of my acoustic, not having to ask my guitarist to play it for me. Always loved the design of the tele, so 99€ was a non-brainer.
I absolutely love this guitar, despite being heavy, I love it to death. I’m actually taking out the humbuckers that I’ve already put in there with a single bridge Seymour invader with a coil tap with locking tuners. I’ve definitely saved those pickups it came with since they sound awesome
Bought this guitar two months ago. It’s an awesome guitar! But do you happen to know which string gauge this guitar came with? I assume it’s 9’s but I’m not sure. I’m still playing with the regular strings that came with this guitar but I want to switch to Ernie ball/D’addario.
nice one. it comes with 10s, it says so on the details on the website and on screen when i go over the specs I think. I prefer playing with 10s than 9s
I’m not either. The design is printed on so at some point I’d swap it out but I’m in no rush. Right! It’s actually staggering how good this is for the cost
The locking heads on my guitar rn arent so great either its a must i think to get locking tuners on this one or like a nice hot nailbomber if you want it to be at your level:>
I haven't switched out the pick guard. It doesn't bother me that much but I do plan on changing or painting over it at some point. I'm thinking about putting in some new pickups for it at some point too

Great video. The sound when you cut between the two guitars playing the same music is the closest match I've seen in any guitar comparison video.
Thanks so much

This guitar has no business being this good for this price 😂
Thanks so much for watching the whole thing. Really glad to see you enjoyed it! 🤟
Oehh its rlly good, i started with this one in stratocaster form about a year ago but my grandpa had 3 mansons so he gave me his mbm-1 meta series😌
Lucky for sure
@@harrychrisrobin ye i know but i play atleast an hour a day so i use it a lot🤟🏻🎸

The Harley Benton is quite a nice surprise, also recently a Harley Benton Tele and it's really good, only thing I would change is the machine heads.
Looks and sounds absolutely beautiful for the money. Holy hell.

Sorry about nitpicking, but it's coil-splitting 😊.
definitely want this one.
Hi! Great video, what amp do you use? Love its sound
Thank you. I simulate my amps and layer multiples of them together. So it’s not just one sound you’re hearing
I dont know about sounds (cause maybe just he is so good at guitar, not the guitar itself) but looks so cool!
Thank you. For the price, the guitar does sound really good to me
Telecaster with manson headstock looks awesome
i wondered if anyone would pick up on that slight detail
@@harrychrisrobin me too haha, maybe people obsessed with manson guitars like me xd

@@harrychrisrobin oh really? I probably overlooked it lol. But thanks anyway! You’re an amazing guitar player! Keep up the good work🤘🏼
@@PTRK490 thanks very much! i really appreciate it!
Is it me or during the comparison, both guitars sound SUPER close to each other? Amazing guitar for the price.
Does anybody know if a fender telecaster pick guard will fit this? If I get one I want to change it to a matching black.
It seems that action is kind of high, and that you are having hard times playing it at times because of that. Am I wrong?
You are.
Which dist did you use?
I'm not a huge fan of that pick guard, but you really can't complain for the money.
I notice the limited edition strap for the KR-1 is £84.99 🤣
I’m not either. The design is printed on so at some point I’d swap it out but I’m in no rush.

the tuners really do have to be changed out. The pickups, not so much, putting really good pickups in might be a waste.
For radiohead separate respect😎
i like how half of songs are muse
Manson evo is professional guitar it is obvious that it sounds better than Harley Benton that is a beginner guitar. You should've compared it to mbm 1
Does it have neck dive? because of the basswood body
Great question. No it doesn’t. The body is heavier than the neck so it’ll hold its position on its own
@@harrychrisrobin thanks for the reply
Soo wish they did one with a maple neck
That is maple Neck.
What song is song demo?
Were you playing some Jimmies Chicken Shack in there!?
Have you switched the guard? It ruins the beautiful guitar
I haven't switched out the pick guard. It doesn't bother me that much but I do plan on changing or painting over it at some point. I'm thinking about putting in some new pickups for it at some point too
@@harrychrisrobin is it holding up?
@@glogang3233 the guitar is great on the whole yeah. I still see it as a good modding platform
Harley Benton vs squier ??
Harley benton all Day.
Is it heavy??
No, it’s kinda light. Weight is similar to my proper Tele
@@harrychrisrobin thank you very much for your fast reply.. Am thinking of selling my yammy pacifica 112 j and buy this
@@naeemimrit5460 my pleasure. If it takes your fancy then go for it. I’d always suggest to do more research
@@harrychrisrobin actually the humbucker on the yam seems to be too low in sound.. I need one to yell.. U knw wat am meaning 😂😂😂 thank u again
