Haha I get that quite a lot 😅 thank you though 🙂 Wes \m/

He reminds me a lot of korg from the newest thor movie 😂

@@calebbelac9349 I’ll take that 😂👍

He sounds just how he looks...

Where did you buy it? Thomman? Thinking of ordering it but I’m afraid of the website.

@@marianajg95 Yes, I ordered directly from Thomman website and received great service. Was having trouble getting my bank to release an international purchase, and one of Thomman's reps emailed me to help facilitate the transaction.

Thank you so much it is greatly appreciated! I will be speaking to Harley Benton in September so hopefully we can work together and I can get some more reviews on the go for you all 😄👍 Thanks again Wes \m/

Thanks dude I really appreciate it 😃👍 Wes \m/

Thank you Alexis! The Humbucker sounded great in my opinion too! I hopefully should get the guitar modded within the next couple of months, once I’ve gotten through all of my other upcoming vids 😄👌 Cheers Wes \m/

It’s a great guitar dude! I really enjoy playing it! Thanks dude! I don’t know how Harley Benton do it! They make fantastic guitars! Investigate away!

Greetings my friend and welcome to my channel! Thank you for subscribing! I try and post at least one video per weekend, however sometimes life gets in the way, but I have no intention of stopping anytime soon 😄 Thanks again Wes \m/

Thanks Jat! 😄 Wes \m/

That’s awesome! Let me know what you think of it and I may end up getting one for myself 😁 Thanks for watching Wes \m/

Fred Mesa thanks man! Thanks for watching and subscribing 😄👍 Wes \m/

Have a look at my channel buddy. Couple of short clips of my Bullet HSS, does metal just fine

did it last long?

@@PichuOnFire yes, I still have it and it works perfectly fine lmao

Nice! I’d love the DC580 they look awesome! Great specs too! This guitar is absolutely amazing! For about $100 (£80) it is the best low price guitar I’ve ever played! I’d even say it is worth $150 👍👍

Thank you Ivan! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m glad it helped you make your decision 😄. I’ll most likely be installing an EMG 81 in there too (but I’m going to do a bit more research before I make my decision). But I won’t be using the 5 way switch as I will only be installing the 1 pickup with 1 volume pot. I’m hoping to get an installation video up very soon 😄 thank you so much for subscribing and thank you for your kind words! Wes \m/

I hope you love it as much as I do! 😄 Wes \m/

Same. Well i didnt buy it. My mom did, for my bday 😁

@@nickfehrenbach382 SAME HERE my birthday is the 21st hehe

They look fantastic!! I want one so badly but I can’t as I don’t have anymore room 😂 I personally love the HB guitar as they are cheap but the build quality is amazing! So it’s not like you’ve bought a £200 guitar and spending £200 to mod it. You’re buying an £80 to put £200 or less for mods! It’s a no brainier! I’d highly recommend getting the HB in my honest opinion Wes \m/

I am here looking for videos of that guitar, but it seems there are none yet.

@@Fernando.Sanabria after many requests, I have now purchased the TE-20 and you can expect a video on this on the 8th of November 👍

I’m glad I could help 😄 you won’t regret it! Wes \m/

its my first guitar and i wanted to know if it could make so good metal shit :D

Oh, it definitely can 😁 if you need any tips or advice, just let me know 😃 Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb thx man ! i saw ur other videos with this guitar and its lit :D . I'll get the guitar at winter i think, waiting for a little promotion on thomann maybe

@@BreezyShadow How is it going so far?

Thank you so much 😄 depends on your budget but I’ve tried the Mooer Hornet amps and they are pretty good for the price! Probably the best amp for under $200 I hope this helps Wes \m/

That’s great news! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 😄👍 Wes \m/

Thanks 🙏 still not a V though 😜 Wes \m/

Hey, hows the guitar? Gimme some info

@@BOBANDVEG Firstly: its heavier than i thought it would be, but tbh I never hold a strat in the hand, just an acoustic guitar, and this was years ago. The guitar itself sounds and feels nice, I tried it with and without an amp(I bought the guitar and amp set from thomann). I dont know if its the way my guitarneck is bended, but the E string is sometimes buzzing if Im playing it with too much force. the fretboard lies very nice in the Hand and the guitar is well done overall. What I dont like is the Strap, its sometimes getting off the guitar, and i was lucky that I hold the Guitar all the time. So I advise to not let the guitar dangling loose from your Neck, leave a hand on it all the time, dont trust the Strap ^^. The Whammy bar, although I dont use it currently, works as intended. Like I said, Im an absolute beginner, so I couldn´t get the maximum out of it currently. And I dont play nearly that much per day as I want, because my Study is demanding that much time from me ._. Some words to the amp/no amp setup: Without an amp: I like the clean sound of it, and to learn the basics it is good without an amp. Also in my opinion it contributes to get a feeling for the guitar and a feeling of how much force to apply on the strings to avoid the buzzing noise. With Amp: I tried to find good settings online, but I think you have to find the right setting that sounds "right" to you. I dont know how much the amp impacts the soundquality, because I just have the Harley benton amp(the 20W one, thomann offers 2 versions, as far as ive seen last time). Anyways, after I had my settings I just liked the overdrive channel much more. Although I just enjoy it through headphones, it is nice ^^. If I forget something, feel free to remind me :) I try to get my practice hours today.

@@DieOrganisation13 much obliged. Good looking out. I'm thinking of getting it. You can by guitar strap blocks, they're rubber gaskets that go over the strap buttons , keeps the strap from slipping off. Couple of bucks on ebay. Your neck is probably bowed slightly,("bowed" is bent backwards, "relief" is bent forwards) loosen the truss rod slightly , see if that helps. Really appreciate the review

@@BOBANDVEG ah I didnt know about it, thank you for the tipp with the strap blocks. Yeah I wasnt brave enough to loose it. It is a beautiful guitar ^^. I liked it from the first view :D

@@DieOrganisation13 eh, theres a million things learn about guitar, but it's all easy. Theres a KZfaq video for all of it. Truss rod adjustments are in 1/4 turns, 1/8 turns when your close. Small.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😄 I will try my best, but unfortunately I have run out of space and money 😂👍 Here is hoping that Harley Benton can send me some guitars to review and return them once I have completed the review 😅 Thanks again! Wes \m/

Would you recommend this guitar for metal and rock? Cause I am going to buy an electric guitar .. But I am worried about the tune stability? what you say?

Absolutely. For instance, Geordie Walker from Killing Joke plays a Gibson ES-295, that's a hollow body with P90s, and manages to pull some of the heaviest heavy riffs out there.

Awesome!! I’ve had a few people ask about the TE-20 so I’ve gone ahead and ordered one to review haha! They look fantastic !

great, I also really want the20 HH. It's beautiful

You should man you won’t regret it! Some great ideas there! I’m thinking of getting something a bit more high end this year to review but I’m not sure what yet haha maybe one of those new Epi’s they look fantastic!! Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb last epi I had was an sg was my first guitar bought back in 98 from music warehouse Colchester but always been an ibanez blooded creature ever since I first heard obituary I knew I needed an ibanez every one I knew was in to Jackson V's and bc's back then if I could hear one guitar review this year it would be on the RG550-fr Genesis that's the re issue of the guitar played on obituarys the end complete that's where it all started for me and I realy want this guitar in red with the black pick guard its Japanese made and around £899 please review it dude I'd love to see that on your show 🤘

Hi! I really like the Harley Benton locking tuners. I used them on one of my videos and put them on the TE-20 and they hold tune really well. For a guitar at that price range I would just stick with the HB locking tuners as they get the job done but of course the Hipshot tuners are going to be better and smoother. Nut is plastic and the frets are nickel. I really like the pickups but I don’t use the single coils. So, I’m replacing the them with one EMG85X. I’ve got a few cleaning items coming this one from Nomadcare and I’ll be doing an upgrade video this weekend and it will hopefully be uploaded Sunday evening here in the UK. Hope this helps Wes \m/

Apologies, it has been pointed out to me that I missed a question 😅 I fitted these into my TE-20 and they were a straight fit so you should not have any problems but I will be posting a video at the weekend showing how to fit them 😄👍 Thanks again! Wes \m/

Hi Cassandra. Yes, this would make a great first electric guitar. Not just as the price is great but it is better than many other entry level guitars out there!

I got that from a shop here in the UK called Menkind. But I’m sure if you look it up you’ll be able to find it somewhere 😄

The neck feels amazing! The fretboard was the part that I believe is stained black. But the actual back part of the neck is satin just like the body and feels really fast to play and isn’t sticky at all. Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb Thanks for the reply Wes!

Thank for watching Pege! If you mean that as in like an Anime/Manga, I’ll take it 🤘😝 Thanks Wes \m/

Hi Smudgy, strings are very easy to change with practice. If you’re unsure you can take it to a guitar shop and I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out 😄 It has given me an idea on doing a video on how to change strings, so it is on my to do list 😁🤘 Thanks for watching Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb thanks so much I'll defo check at a store than and ask for tips!

I would recommend getting another lead as the ones that they come with are ok for about 10 minutes and then just sound horrible and break. I would highly recommend getting the Ernie Ball cable I have linked in the description as I use that for all my recordings and I have used that lead in over 100 gigs and it’s still going!! Hope this helps! Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb thanks!

Not a problem at all! 😄 Wes \m/

Hi, apologies but can you elaborate on what you mean by headphone amp? Thanks Wes \m/

I try and respond as quick as I can, what with work and everything 😅 but I try my best to haha Absolutely! Funnily enough I am currently recording another video using this guitar right now without modifications and it sounds amazing! You would be able to play this guitar absolutely fine! I hope this helps! Wes \m/ P.s. if you do purchase it and have any questions about it don’t hesitate to ask me 😄👍

@@WesleyGuitarWebb oh well then great! thanks, definitely will watch the video, looking forward to it :D

@@pomirodi2862 thank you so much 😃 hope I don’t disappoint 😅😝 Wes \m/

This guitar would work great for Punk. As it has a Humbucker, you’ll get a lot more tone than you would from a single coil 👌 Hope this helps Wes \m/

😂 I was hoping no one would notice haha! But even after that there actually wasn’t any damage on it 😄 Wes \m/

I anticipated it lol

Oh I’ve only just realised I missed that part out! Thanks for mention it. They were a straight fit into my TE-20 so I expect the same for the ST-20’s. I will find out this weekend when I start filming 😄 No need to apologise and thank you for the kind words Wes \m/

Unfortunately I couldn’t see it on their website, however they may be adding a few more lefties in the new year. That is what I have heard from a few left handed guitarists.

if you're always interested, yes they have some now ( and i might buy one soon) edit : www.thomann.de/fr/harley_benton_st_20hss_lh_sbk.htm

I completely agree and yes it is a very easy fix 😄 I would expect something to be wrong with the guitar for the money, but I’d that’s the only thing that is wrong with it then I am more than happy 😁 Thanks for watching 😄 Wes \m/

My personal opinion is that any guitar will sound bad through a cheap rubbish no name amp. I’d rather have a £200 guitar through a £1500 amp and not the other way round.

@@WesleyGuitarWebb that's what I meant brother 😉🤘

These guitars have never stayed in stock for very long at all! They are very very popular. I was very lucky to get mine. As soon as I bought mine, not even 5 minutes later they were out of stock again! If you’re interested in getting one, if they’re on the website to at least preorder, I would suggest doing so 👍 as they will go out of stock in no time, especially as it’s Christmas soon! Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb I believe it they seem like a wicked deal. I’ll be keeping an eye out

Thanks for watching Famer. I must admit, I have purchased a few HB guitars now (even B-stock) and I’ve found not even a scratch on them, so I guess I’ve been quite lucky. I understand from other people that when they’ve received their guitars with any imperfections at all, they’ve contacted Thomman and they’ve sorted out the issue straight away. I hope you have better luck in the future with HB guitars. Cheers Wes \m/

@@WesleyGuitarWebb thanks for letting me know. For some reason I was sent a broken guitar, the boxes were perfect. And the sales representative were very rude to me.

Famer 7 oh man I’m really sorry to hear that! Maybe try contacting them again, maybe through Instagram or Facebook showing them the emails and I’m sure they will help you out. I hope you get this resolved 🙂 Wes \m/

@@bamalowbloodrich3581 that's really sad! And kind of strange too, because I'm a Harley Benton aficionado and that one time I got an acoustic with twisted and broken neck (box in perfect condition) thomann sent me a new one and let me keep the broken one
