I have This guitar in white with active pups, £230. The SC 450 vintage in honeyburst B stock at £145 and the SC 450 Classic in Black and cream at £120, all came with body and neck binding, i replaced the switch of the classic as it came damaged and replaced the tuners as the Bottom E wasn't great with wilkinsons at £20. I use this as my gigging and rehearsal guitar, it's heavy but it feels right and when you know, you know if you know what i mean hahaha, i put it through a harley benton Truetone American gain pedal at £24 into my Fender deluxe 90 amp clean channel with reverb and it sounds incredible,

I bought a HB Tele Style guitar, and a Jazz Bass style bass (from mid to high range). What I can say based on my experience is: Construction quality is great but hardware and electrics are cheap, but you receive a great instrument considering the price. For entry level is great but it would need a little of work: some fretwork, adjustment, better strings, nut, etc. But again, for the budget I think Harley Benton is great.

Reminds me of a Framus Les Paul copy I bought in Germany in 1971 while I was in the Army. It was lighter, and smaller, and actually played better than any of the Les Pauls I ever tried. This guitar looks almost exactly the same size.

Let's not forget that Jeff Beck could walk up to any Fenders off a stores rack and make it sound like God. I worked the Namm show as a grunt and materials handler for all sorts of vendors and Jeff was at both the Fender booth and Gibson. He could play any of the guitars on display as well as manage his vender performance like the pro that he was. Once on a Mexican strat he just grabbed from the play section at the booth where hundreds of people had a chance at them. Standard. Only just got the tuning in the ballpark and continued to melt fases. Now with CNC and a shared internet between luthiers including schematics, just making a good electric guitar has become childsplay. Can't wait for what comes next.

HB/Thoman have huge selection of left handed guitars unlike other brands- I got SC 400 - probably one of the cheapest and worst they sell- its ok- but when you think that I’ve paid 80$+ for it- its excellent. The Jazmaster on the other hand- is great, but considering the price- it’s probably one of the better choices out there- I like the Roswell P-90 that it comes with a lot fit and finish feels like it’s way more expensive guitar. I’ve bought Firefly tele and squire mustang at the same time- all in the same price range-if i had to pick just one- HB would be my choice

@@manofthewest67, I've not held this HB in my hands, but looking at photos and videos of it, the similarity to an LTD EC-401 is clear, but they're not carbon copies. The horn is a slightly different shape, the controls are in different locations, and the back carve-outs, both for the belly and the hand, are different shapes. The HB has 22 frets while the LTD has 24. It wouldn't surprise me if they were, in fact, both made in the same factory as the LTDs, although some of the LTDs are made in Indonesia, and some in Korea.

Absolutely! Just about any Guitar can sound good with a great Amp. I’ve proven that/this plenty of times, (unfortunately I never posted any of it on KZfaq or the Interwebs. So I guess that technically, it never happened right?) But if you play, (say like I did) my Squire Classic Vibe 50’s Telecaster through my friends JCM900 Marshall Stack it sounds pretty Frickin AWESOME. (I have a Katana 100, I’m not complaining but it’s definitely not a Marshall lol) But then you plug my PRS or Les Paul into a single speaker 8” or 10” practice amp (both of which I have done) and they sound like ABSOLUTE ASS!!! It’s mostly always about the Amp over the Guitar (Set up not included). Just my opinion but I am just a guy that’s been playing Guitar since I was 13 and still playing (in my wheelchair lol) at 49.

@TheRange7 3 ай бұрын

They hold up really well. I have 8 or 9 of them and they are all played a lot. They're about 5 to 8 years old. They look a lot more like a Big G than the current version. I put in new pickups on all of them and that was a big help tone wise. The tuners are stable, the hardware is fine, and the frets aren't wearing down any faster than my big name guitars. These new ones don't look as Big G, but I'm told the quality is higher than ever. I own guitars from HB up to the big names. The only HB I ever bought that was no go was a cheap Tele. Buy with confidence. Or if you prefer spend a lot more and buy an Epi (I love my Epi's too) it's up to you. That's my 2 cents. Guita Max says the price on this one Landon did in a different color is 199 plus shipping.

@@RF_BurnsThomann aren't that organised. They ship ridiculous volumes every day. Reviewers just get pot luck like everyone else. There are plenty of yt reviews where channels occasionally got bad luck as well as good - so it seems unlikely they're sanity checking anything sent to reviewers. From my limited but recent experience (1 HB) they must be random spot checking, not checking every box. The setup was awful (strings fouling the back edge of the bridge onto a decked tailpiece). Nothing I couldn't setup and rectify myself, but something any competent QC/setup inspector at any stage in the delivery chain should've seen. The guitar was fine and plays great now, which is preferable to flaws I can't fix, and it's mind boggling for the price, but I wouldn't rely on QC catching everything. Easy return if you're inside the EU, harder if you're not.

Common Fallacy. Why invest in Gibson when an index fund or other legit investments like gold and gives much better return and hedge for a financial crisis. Regular Gibsons unless it's a limited edition that is sought after don't have an annual return or a compounding % for returns of invesrment. A gibson lp standard you bought for $2k 5 yrs ago is most likely still worth $2k. you lost money if you sell that because inflation exists.

Misinformation and Virtue Signaling. Thomann isn't undercutting the factories. It doesn't make logical sense if those factories do an order from Thomann when someone else pays more. Would you do a massage if you had 2 customers one willing to pay $20 the other $50? the former would be priced out that's *basic economics* Their guitars are mostly from Indonesia not China, squier and epiphone has mostly chinese guitars so that's a weak invalidation even if that misinformation were true. Harley Benton guitars are cheaper because there are no middle man and dealer commissions taking a cut, they are the direct seller. There is no moral victory and superiority from paying more on other brands because the extra fees goes to white collar workers in 1st world countries that takes commissions not the factories in Indonesia/Asia or the workers of those factories.

Cause they are giving people a chance to buy a guitar an not paying 3,000$ for it.

Not actually. They use same Indonesian factories as other major brands. Difference is that they are not overpricing and they add feature as standard. Such as stainless steel frets. And they sell directly. Any 250-400$ HB guitar beats any guitar in 700-800 range. Maybe not one thing here or there. But overall…

What squier gives you in a $400 classic vibe, Harley Benton gives you for $200.....sometimes less. I am a connoisseur of cheap guitars and Thomann, without question, gives you the most bang for buck in terms of quality. Their SC models destroy Epiphone at price points.

No criticism of Landon but remember KZfaq influencers who diss a product will never get another free one in the post. Criticism of Landon. Saying this is a really nice guitar is valid but what about action, tuning, tone, controls, quality of hardware, fit and finish? I didn't really detect much passion for this guitar in the commentary or the playing.

Maybe watch the whole video before leaving a comment like this. Lazy comment

If that is what you truly and irrationally believe about youtubers then it's a waste of time watching and commenting. To be logically consistent you wouldn't be here.
