Every guitar in every price range sounds wonderful in your hands Jon! Always a relief when I tend to believe I need better gear 😅that demo was awesome✌
love Harley Benton guitars. What I like best are the perfectly finished roasted necks with stainless steel frets at a great price. They play as softly as butter and you finally don't have to worry about constantly worn out frets anymore. 👍
Lovely rich looking and sounding guitar Jon. The pickups are great and even the single settings are really nice sounding. You really rocked the intro too. Excellent video Jon thanks 😃😃👍👍👏👏😊
I just recently discovered your channel and Harley Betons in general. What amazing playing, and it's really convinced me these guitars are well worth the chance for budget and new learners like myself
Hi John,sehr schönes Video. Super gespielt wie immer. Mein Vater hat 6 Gitarren von HB. Alle haben einen tollen Klang und lassen sich Mega gut spielen. Nur zu empfehlen. Wie gesagt tolles Video mein Freund 🤘 Rock on.
10M views! Congratulations!! You do fine work and have motivated me to take up the guitar, so I wish you all the success you desire. I have now purchased a total of 4 HB guitars, the first was the TE-40. Great little player. Thank you for sharing your skills and reviewing fine, affordable gear for us to experiment with.
Hi Jonathan, what a great value for money model with nice appointments. Loved the pickups and the true tones they delivered across the range. Finish is minimalist and very pleasing to the eyes. Great review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜
I bought this model earlier in the year and was lucky enough to get one with a ridiculously flamed neck, I had seen some on YT that had lots of flame and some with only a little, mine has so much flame it roasted itself. LOL! The action needed adjustment for me as well as the nut as it was going sharp on a few strings on the first fret, I also had to put some foam in the vibrato springs. the frets were spot on, not one fret was out of level and this is the very first guitar I have bought that has perfect frets, some people said their frets were scratchy but they smoothed out after a couple of hours of playing, mine were not scratchy and I love the stainless steel frets. The pickups are very useable, I too noticed that there is not a great drop in volume when switching to split coil mode. The only thing I dont like is the CE and country of origin printing on the back of the headstock, I have bought many HB guitars and they used to come with all this information on a clear film that could be peeled off if thats what you wanted. I hope they put out some guitars in this style in different colours although of course they wont be 25th Aniversary models. The lanyard is pretty pointless IMO I would have rather had some 25th Aniversary picks or a cleaning cloth, anything with a purpose really.
Love your playin, very nice. Been going through pretty much every single video of yours, extremely helpful in search of a new electric guitar (havent had one for years). PS. your channel is criminally underrated, keep it up/Greetings from Sweden ❄❄❄❄
Yes, your touch in playing it is just fantastic Jon. 🎉 I too have picked up this guitar as well. (So happy I did) Thomann had this in a left handed model) Gosh for the money you can't really go wrong can you. It feels comfy to play too. Only thing I noticed that bugs me when standing and wearing it... just a bit nose heavy I only had to lower the string action a little , redo the intonation, and put some Fender super bullets, sounds great 👍 I've been recording in the studio with it on "Reaper" and I'm very pleased with this purchase!
@@kanjinha Hi there, I've had many different neck types, and this one IS a little chunkier than other telecaster and stratocaster necks. But I appreciate these necks, I play it every day, and it feels great (to me) I got used to it very quickly! So much that a very thin neck nowadays feels strange lol. I also might add that I changed the 10-46 gauge it came with, for the Super bullets 09-42. It sounds and feels great 👍 having said that, I now have three guitars with 10-46 gauge strings, and three guitars with 09-42 gauges. As they are my preferred gauges. It just seems that on certain guitars the guitar itself will ask you for the gauge it prefers... And as Lefties we know how hard it is to find ourselves a good guitar that we really like... It's nice to have Thomann offer a variety of left-handed guitars... Remember, we are the only ones in our "right" mind lol... Hope this helps a bit.
Hi Jon! Amazing review as always! Thanks for that! Quick question: I just moved abroad and will stay away from home for at least a year, I'm looking for a well built and all-round versatile guitar in the 500$ range to buy instead of paying a plane ticket for one of my "oldies". Since you tried a lot of nice guitars in that price range which one would you recommend mainly for playability and sound? Could this Fusion-T be a nice choice or would you suggest something different? Thanks in advance
The lanyard addition really is a miss imo. It has no use for anyone so its basically off to the trashbin for everyone. We should all aim for as little trash as possible.
I really enjoy listening to you play . Your so good and your playing so smooth. Hope my Grandson learns. I only Mess around as a hobby. Always had a friend growing up that played music. We would grab gallon of shine and the guitar 🎸 and head to the woods. Things use to much easier back then. Living in the Country has always been wonderful. I never wore a mask, didn’t take any Poison. Life’s much simpler. People stil believe in G D and Respect for people. Thank you for playing makes an old man happy !

Beautiful color ! Like the guitar very much . Did you know that the yellow smiley face was invented in my city, Worcester, MA?
So cool!
Congratulations on 10 million views!
Sounds really great. I think I like those Tesla pups.

How do you feel about the neck? somne people say its a bit chunky? Im a lefty too and wondering about the guitar. thanks

You and it sound awesome! Hows the neck sound compared to a standard tele lipstick looking pick up?
Thicker and warmer
Ps couldn't share video said it was unavailable
Strange
I think it’s compatible with the vega trem as well 👍
yes should be!
Hi Jon!

Could this Fusion-T be a nice choice or would you suggest something different?
Thanks in advance
Yes, absolutely
Hi Jon! in your opinion what is the best or that you like more? This Fusion-T 25th Firemist, Fusion-T HH Roasted FNT or Fusion-III HSH Roasted FNT?
All very different guitars..✌️❤️
Hi Jon! And compared to Sire T7FM? Which one do you prefer?
Very different guitars
Sir.....this or a sire?
Your choice..✌️
😊❤❤❤
I'm thinking of a shirt with "Harley- Benton - They ain't laughin' no mo" - Pay attention Fender & Gibson - your laurels are looking flat.
Lol
