Huge fan of your review method. This is the way to review guitars, period. Keep the good job.

Damn dude, first time I've come across your channel and I'm blown away by the detail and production quality of your content. Cheers from Seattle, WA.

Dude you are so pragmatic and detailed in this review. You have set a new standard, my friend.

One of the most professional rewiew i ve seen on youtube. Congrats!

Excellent review with all the measurment,that's what we want to see!

Wow you actually cover everything I wanted and then some. Thank you for being so thorough. Your processes are so clear and very effective. Thank you for all you do for us out here.

Good preview and a lesson at the same time, thanks a lot!

Great detail review, the best I have seen on many - many reviews on guitars I have seen on KZfaq. 😉

I’m Nick, from Virginia, USA. I’m a lefty and planning to get this guitar very soon. The penalty points are very minor for me, so this review helped a lot! Thank you for all of your hard work putting this together!!!

Finally, someone who knows how to make decent full detailed reviews. Keep it going and always work for improvement 👍

That's solid quality content, dude! You put a lot of effort in making this... that's borderline professional work! I'm shocked your video hasn't more views... kudos!

Thanks for this testing and for your consistent test method. Nice song in the beginning!

Love your detailed reviews! German attention to detail, awesome job.

One of the best reviews I have ever seen. All the specifications are really checked by you. Great job. I see first time that some one checking stainless frets - amazing. All measurements including weight. And the best on the end comperation to similar guitar.

Thank you for your honesty.

Amazing review, really glad that you opened it. This should be a standard in all reviews.

Holy shit!!.. I love the "In The Mix" track... Well done!

Wow! This is by far the most thorough review I've ever watched. Insane quality, attention to details. The definition of getting more than you pay for :)) also it was the first video of yours that I've watched. +1 Subscriber. Greetings from The land of Dracula!

500k pots with active pickups: "If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid"... or is it ? :) Also the amount of details in this review is mindblowing, gj !

Great vid and greetings from Rio Grande City in south Texas, USA! I'm glad i came across your channel as im looking into purchasing my first HB guitar. I purchased the 2x12 HB cab with vintage celestions and was so impressed with it, ive decided to give their guitars a chance! Great channel you have and i will subscribe!

thanks, great review. i got myself a b-stock (A6-BKNT): finish - very good (minor imperfection at fretboard-corpus-joint) neck - perfect alignement - perfect intonation - perfect electrics - switch and pots not properly tightened, known output-jack issue (first batch model?) electrics issues fixed within a few minutes, include fixing that awkward toggle switch alignment. basic string setup was quite good actually, just optimized a few bridge settings to meet individual preferences. the amarok's playability is very good. intonation is razor sharp way up to 24th fret. fretboard, frets and neck finish are a charm to play on. headstock design and mechanics allow for a "tune once and forget" kind of handling. what really had me fall in love with this instrument however is her sound. the unplugged instrument's sound already oozes loads of warm and dry wood with a rich voice. now pair that with the EMG hot 70s precision and devastating power. it was already beautiful in standard E, got a little extra punch in D, but when I slapped on .52s and dropped it to C, it just made me want to pull down my panties immediately. those pickups are beautiful beasts, the instrument tames them where required and let's them run wild when desired. maybe i've had exceptional luck with my individual guitar. after all, choosing an instrument is a matter of personal preferences. the amarok's sound, playability and finish make her an exceptionally valuable instrument for me.

Dude, this is properly insightful - you definitely need to get more guitars on this channel.

wow this is how a guitar review should be done perfect!

Thanks for the great informative and helpful video on the Amarok-6 from Harley Benton. It's on my list for final purchase decision so this video was great. Prescott Valley, AZ

No that is a way to review a guitar, for now one i want my all reviews like that ten points and i salute you so much🤘🤘

Awesome review, imma buy one for sure. Btw that green one is just so beautiful.

Great review, you managed to touch so many important points. Thanks a lot for sharing!

My buddy and I are really curious about these new HB guitars. We both have plenty of ESP, Ibanez, Fender, as well as custom luthier guitars, but we just need to test these HB's out! My friend went for the Les Paul style, and I was hesitating about ordering an Amarok 6. Well, thanks to your complete and very detailed review video, I'm off to order one right now! Thank you for this nice video, this is how guitar reviews should be :) Keep up the godo work pal!! Nass

Seriously, who could, or would want to put a thumbs down!!?? Excellent reviews here, as always!! A big hello from Madrid, Spain!! :-) :-) :-)

Good review.I bought my amarock 6 L/H 2 months ago,and love it.found your channel whilst browsing,and I live in the UK.

Great review. The neck measurement is gold. Looking forward for the SC Custom 2 review.

And, this review is the best Iv'e seen so far. I couldn't subscribe fast enough! 😉

Amazing review. Definitely gained a subscriber 🎉. Keep it up with the amazing work

For the range price, this Harley benton it's amazing. Great guitar and great review. 👌🏻💪🏻🤘🏻

Appreciate the thorough review. Good work! From Minnesota, USA. Really loving my Telecaster Baja that I picked up last year. Found your channel because I'm checking out the Harley Benton stuff.

Thank you for this in depth analysis.

Awesome Video! That beginning in the mix jam reminded of Coroner’s Grin album. Enjoyed it so much!

Great video and that HB Is an Amazing Guitar. Waiting for the part 2 🤘 Greetings from itlay

Really, really well done video. I loved it!

Great objective test. I like it.

Awesome review. I thought I saw a sharp fret end, but in different views, they looked quite smooth. To me, frets are really maybe the most important, since a lot of the other issues can be fixed. Those pots are just nuts - although I am not an expert on EMG pickups.

Great review! Thanks.

nice review. I like your methods!

Man, that’s beautiful. I love Harley Benton guitars.

Great video, as usual.

Ever since i played the Amarok at Hennings place i've been a huge fan! Great video Max! Just found out i wasn't subscribed to you from this channel haha! Hope you are doing great mate!

Incredible review. Seriously considering getting this guitar. If i do, i shall use your affiliate link. Cheers from the UK.

Got the Amarok and like it a lot. My B-Stock-Model was a bit misaligned concerning the graph tech saddle, so that the high e-string ran quite close to the edge of the fretboard. On the other hand I had no issues with the noise or the heigth of the pots. So I think - as you said it in the video - there might be some reported issues which don't occur in your buy but with some of the guitars. I consider my Amarok as a good bang for the buck and like especially the warm tone of the EMGs. Keep on the good work, I like it.

Real nice job reviewing the Amarok . . . I'm not use to such professionalism . . . .you do a thorough job at keeping the prospective customer informed . . .really nice channel . . .I needed info on how the Amarok 6 looked and performed and this channel stepped up to the plate . . .I'm from Rockville Maryland . . .and I own one LTD and one Harley Benton . . . thinking about the Amarok for heavy metal or an Ibanez for jazz . . .not sure yet . . .anyway . . .take care . . . .

Best review video!!!

Thank you for the neckdive demo, every review should have this. This is a dealbreaker for me sadly, and you helped me find out lol.

very specialized, very delightful sir. I dont understand about technicals but just watched

Nice review, should be a link to Part 2 at the end.

Great, comprehensive review of these Harley Benton guitars. Actually thinking of purchasing one and your breakdown of this and the Fusion II were really helpful. Appreciate your hard work on these videos. Looking at Harley Benton rather than dropping twice the money into an Ibanez or Charvel. I love the Ibanez RG Premiums, but I could get two HBs for the price of one.

Hi, I'm watching from Hungary, my favorite guitars are the Solars and I discussed your chanel by your very usful tip videos and gun harley benton builds and demos. I'm really enjoying it thus far, keep it up. 🤘

Hello. I saw what you are reviewing, and got nosey. I ordered the baritone version of this guitar today. As of now, my favorite guitar is my Fender limited custom Telecaster FMT HH. I was looking for a traditional Telecaster workhorse, and discovered the limited custom edition. I couldn't pass it up. I bought it, and no regrets. Love it! I have another Fender and an Ibanez. I have four HBs. I am intrigued with what a quality guitar they can make at a working man's price. Two of them had minor problems, but i love tinkering, so not a problem. Thanks for the review.

Hi, i am from India. your reviews are very detailed and technical. Great job.

Hi from Azores (portugal islands) i love your channel. i found your channel while looking for a hb fusion II review and because of you i bought one. i have a hb amarok blue just like you and is a great guitar for the money. please keep making videos. cheers

Killer vid. I like the reverse headstock . Harley Benton guitars are awesome I plan on buying at least 1 of every model....

That was a perfect review

Great video 🤘😊

Dude, your reviews are the best out there! So much technical informations, you are kind of like gamer nexus but for guitar related stuff, but i think the noise thingy you should cancel sanctioning guitars on that topic cause there will always be noise because of that 'harp' on any guitar with a proper headstock or floyd, its like complaining about a combustion engine making noises when you drive your car

great review

Hey Max what's up? This is Mike from Saint Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. I didn't even know about "Harley Benton" until just a few month's ago and after watching your video's on "You Tube" I've decided to purchase the Fusion - ll !!! It looks like you just cant go wrong considering the price !!! I would definate'ly consider this a fine higher end guitar and can't wait till it arrives !!!! Thank You for your video's my friend, you certain'ly were influential in my decision to purchase this guitar, Thanks Bro !!!! 😁😉👌✌

Fantastic review. New follower.

your channel is so good holy shit.

Hi , here in the UK, enjoyed your video very much, my go to guitar is an ESP LTD AS1 FR Alex Skolnik signature with a Floyd Rose 1000, basically a Les Paul with a Floyd. Knocks my Gibson Les Paul Standard for six for quality of construction, playability, tone, finish and craftsmanship hands down and a lot cheaper than a Les Paul Axxcess, plays like a dream. Came with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge which until recently has been my favorite pickup, but got put onto the Pariah Blackheart which is just like a JB but with a bit more, only other mod is a push push tone control coil split pot which is so much easier to use than a push pull.

Great review! im looking to grab one of the 6 string red ones. I'm from Canada and am looking to see if its worth the blind purchase

Man you are amazing! Kudos

Good review!

great video man. Do you know where can I find those neck profile templates? Thanks, keep it up!

great review... nice job.

Not a bad looking guitar at all kinda weird the fretboard radius being off from the spec lol wish they could have a thomann in America lol but were blessed with that trusty old mom and pop shop center and the rest of the inflation priced brick stores still don’t know how thomann can produce some of the things they do for the price glad they do it tho and hell of a good review video man honestly one of the most informative and comprehensive videos I’ve seen glad I found your channel today be looking forward to seeing more thanks

Holy shit I love how you explain everything. Cheers from Egypt! 🍻🤘

very thourough review thnx, any recomendations on best guitars for under 700 euro?

Ó'Beolan. Pennsylvania. I am considering buying one. Found you while looking for info. Would consider one. I have am 59 strat. I built. I could could go with more of a name brand. However I want something different and your Review ease's my concerns somewhat. Seems a good value with more guitar for the $$$

Hey man, absolutely stelar review quality. Instantly subbed. Quick question: did you find any trouble with playability on this guitar seeing as it's a little neck-heavy. It's the only thing putting me off as I hate neck-heavy guitars.

Thanks!

Hello ... good review!! i would like to have an opinion .... i have wandered to bougth this brand Harley Benton and i have saw Fusion III EMG HT Roasted SBK too ( are similar specs, not then same but similar) ... what is your opinion ... what is better between this one in your rewiew or Fusion III EMG HT Roasted SBK? thanks!!

Nice jam

How did you get rid of the noise issue? I seem to have seen at some point at the beginning of the video that you were using some gadjet over the strings past the nut point... Also, is it safe to assume that these issues would bleed over to the other models as well? I have been thinking about getting myself a baritone or a 7-stringer for a while now, so here be my questions.

I love it❤️!!!!

Either my franken-superstrat that I built from random parts that i had collected up to that point, or my Schecter Reaper 6-FR that i purchased over the summer from Sweetwater Music here in the US. I have desired the HB Amarok since it was first released earlier this year, but have to wait and hope they release a lefty version. I d like to see Thomann start a resurgence of their lefty line up. They have kind of gotten slack in comparison to the right handed releases made this year. Anyways, Cheers and keep up the good work!

Hello. Great video. Would you recommend this guitar to plan Clean tone? Any better options?

Fantastic work. Quick question. I've turned my switch around so it matches the angle you have yours. But I'm convinced it's the wrong way around. Since the guitar is new I cant totally tell what the bridge and neck pickups sound like. Is there a way for me to tell? Could mine be wired the other way around? On the off chance (but not likely) did you do yours wrong and then turn it around later?

Hi from Spain.I have one question:I just started playing guitar and I can't decide between these two guitars:Hb Amarok or Ibanez S621QM-DEB.Could you help me? Thank you very much!

dude, that intro mix is insanely good. What are your influences?

This guitar is sick!!

Would love to see a review of that Cort btw because the Amarok and thatt Cort are two of the models I'm considering buying right now. I'm dirt poor but I've saved some money and I'm trying to decide between a few models and those two are two of the ones I'm leaning towards.

I am about the buy this guitar but i really have so,e QC concerns. I had to send the EX84 I bought back as it arrived with a warped neck and just tool marks everywhere. very torn.

Price was raised to 499...Still a steal with all the features that my dream guitar, the baritone ESP SC-1000, has but for 1/3 of the price!

6:34 where did you get that tool ?

So I just recieved and opened box with this guitar in black finish and first impression is really good. Very nice guitar, feels great, sounds great. Action is very high, but i set it up with no problem, without adjusting trussrod. Tuners are great, hold firmly. Few things i dont like that much. There is very little hole on the fretboard, no big deal, its right under the string Pickup switch is just pure sh*t. But I use only bridge pickup so no big deal, maybe change it later. Main thing is finish. Lower half of guitar is a lot of lighter than upper half and with diferent stripes, so it look pretty bad, but i think it is just as it is, i have to live with it, coz overal Im happy af 🖤

So what would we be able to do to fix that tone pot's crackle and actually get a proper tone knob along with possibly installing a coil tap? Seems like to me that's the only hang up I have about getting one.

Is the neck perhaps a 12-to-14 transitional, not straight up 14 ? :) been in the "end of the video club" for a while now. Keep it up Max!

TRUE review, clearly better than other toutubers, but do you have money or the guitar from HB or Thomann ? On mine, very poor quality and no daddario strings ( strange )

Is there a huge import tax to the UK does anyone know?

Nice guitar for the price. I would like to see it with black ebony and a non-reverse headstock

Hi Max, I`m planning to purchase this guitar, still I would like to change the pups for the EMG 57/66 set. What do you think? Cheers!

This will be my next guitar I bet. But I am concerned with the QC as of late.
