OK, I want it. That neck pickup spoke to me and the fit and finish is insane for the price, hell, even without factoring price. That is a proper SG, I don't care what the headstock says.

You are the most real guy. When you discovered the push-pull pot I laughed out loud. Great channel. One of my favorites by far.

Wow!! HB are really upping their game Andy. That’s a Superb value axe. We’ve all missed a push pull at least once so no worries there 😊👍👍. Those Teslas sound fantastic l. I have the previous generation of this and I had to change the pups and tuners but I wouldn’t change a thing in that. Excellent review Andy - cheers 👍👍👍😊😊 Coilsplit 😂😂

I have this guitar.. Plays beautifully and sounds amazing. BUT it has one HUGE flaw. The body is almost as thick as a Les Paul! That completely takes away that super light and thin feeling from an SG. I weighed mine, and it comes in at 3.7kg (8.1lbs). In fact I am sending it back next week, since despite all of it great aspects it doesn't give you that SG feel at all. Felt like sharing that, since almost no one ever mentions that online!

nice natural presentation, very clear, nice playing too, thank you!

Nice review, and you even left your oversight off the COIL SPLIT pickups in the edit. Kudos for that! It definitely looks like a really well spec'd guitar for the 💷.

All good. I have gone several days on a new guitar before discovering the push-pull function. I also laughed. Thanks for the review.

Agreed with you about the middle pick up position overdriven but through the clean amp it sounded amazing.

Great guitar I like my DC-VI. I swapped the bridge for a Seymour Duncan Black Winter. I may do a black pick gaurd for that kinda look. It doesn't "coil split" like this but the x3 humbuckers are rad.

Great video (coil split) ☺️ I been looking at a few Harley Bentons and found this really informative keep up the great videos 😊

Wow. That is some serious spec!! Great value guitar, great review!

Coil split! Boom!!! Great video. Seems HB is becoming a fierce competitor against a few other guitar manufacturers. Thanks for a great video. 😊

Holy moly, 2-24 is my birthday, this review is definitely a sign.

Mine arrives in 3 days, I cannot wait. Your vid sold me completely...

That’s an awesome guitar and a great review 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 coil split

Great review and serious rocking demos! That middle setting with both pick-ups has to be the weirdest I've heard on any 2-humbucker guitar. Though the bridge and neck pick-ups sound great!

I have the 24 fret custom version and I adore the single coil split on it. Sounds fanrastic for a vintage blues, slightly pushed ‘on the edge of breakup’ sound. I actually far prefer it over the strat sound. Then simply pushit back in and you’re back in humbucker zone. Brilliant guitars.

Coil Split! Your reviews are so fun. Cracks me up.

Great review Andy.

Nice video and thanks for putting the guitar name on the video title

Thanks for this. Ordered the Pelham Blue version! Coil Split! 🙂

Since i bought my first Harley Benton sc custom ii P90s , i m in love with their guitars and prices. I have already order the Harley Benton SC DLX Gotoh Daphne Blue.

hiya bud. now thats a nice piece of kit , lots of nice hardware on it. ive really got a hankering to get one of their HB 35 plus '335' type guitars, just looks feckin lovely. anyway...nice review as always andy. keep up the good work m8 :)

Excellent video! Really enjoyed it…new sub!…and I’m likely going to grab one of these even though another guitar is the last thing I need😬😅

I bought a Harley Benton Tube 15 Amp, it was around £200 brand new including postage😮❤ Great amp, i love it❤

Should Not Exist !! Excellent Review all around, super attention to detail, pointing out Pro's and Con's and showing your Geek knowledge of the equipment NOT showing off Licks... which I appreciate. Made me wanna go buy one! 😋

I got a Harley Benton R-456FR Progressive, slapped some new Daddario NYXL1152 strings on and some stronger springs for the Floyd Rose and I love it! I'm relearning how to play the guitar after a long hiatus due to injury and will eventually pick some EMG's pickups but for now, it's perfect.

I just ordered the same...... great guitar....great review

Hey Andy this was an awesome video, Coil Split a go-go, it happens to the best man !!!! damn I am just buying a JA 60 otherwise I would have gone for this but thanks anyway for the temptation. Great job Andy thanks mate as always, love and best wishes, Paul.

Cool split! Looks rad, I love SG’s!

I've just bought the older version (DC Custom) which strangely is slightly more expensive. Mine is much lighter than my Les Paul clones. Plays, sounds and looks way above a £200 guitar. I wanted the cherry red colour and the 24 frets which this model isn't available with. I am an old bodger guitar player and I would be happy to play Harley Bentons before I shuffle off this mortal coil (split) see what I did there..watched to the end of the video

Yessir! Coil-split. I stayed til the end of the video. For a nice fella like you and a great guitar like that one, yes. I watched til the very end. I gotta get me one of those. God bless you dear brother "accross the pond." ☺👍

I am now sorely tempted to buy this. For the price that really is a remarkable guitar. Coil split

The middle position reminds me somehow to the vintage Gold foil Pickups 😀

Coil split I've just ordered one in Pelham Blue! It looks and sounds amazing.

One thing I like about this guitar is the “Coil Split” one thing I didn’t like is how long it took you to split said coils 😂👌🏼 I normally use Gotoh as my Go-toh for upgrades 👌🏼 😉

He did it again 🙂 Nice demo of another Harley B. bargain guitar, i'm no Humbucker guy, but this thing makes it easy to make a step out of my normal guitar range. You still don't want to sell the Shell Pink TE-62 HB guitar 🎸? 🤗

Those pickups sound fantastic. The neck is very bright for a full size humbucker. I looked up the specs and it's only wound to 7.2k-ohms, which explains why it's so nicely detailed and bright. The bridge is wound to about 8.8k, which is in the hot-PAF range. Awesome pickup combo. I'm not sure how you hear "modern" or "high output", because these are very much vintage-voiced pickups, especially the neck.

Hope we see this type of quality in some left handed models Very Nice!

Thanks to this video thinking of getting this has my first guitar

Mine also came with a Gold pickguard which I put it on. I love it. I have some pricey guitars. This is one of my favs. Tesla Pickups have been around. I had a Hohner with Teslas and when I got a guitar from Dot In Shaft (Canadian company long defunct) I had an issue with the pickups and they replaced them with two Teslas. I have liked every pair.

ordered the Shell Oink. Cant wait to compare to my other SG - an Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400. Talk about polar opposites. Also have the Satin Black HB tele, which i love.

Thats a cracking SG type for the cash. Some sensational sounds from that neck. Wonder if the "coil split" out of phase Greenie thing with both positions was intentional, yet with more gain, the out of phase sound wasn't as prominent. Stella work as always Andy 🤘

I think I’d try tweaking balance of the middle position with pickup height (more neck) to see if it helps, but no matter, that is a beautiful guitar!

Bought it, Pelham blue. Great review. Thank you. Ps coil split, haha

Brilliant sounding guitar❤

I've got one of these in Pelham Blue, I'm about to swap the pickup magnets for an Alnico 8 in the bridge for more output, a rounder high end, more mids and a tighter low end, and an A4 in the neck to sweeten up the highs so they aren't so bright. I'll also be switching the coil split for a partial coil split like PRS does.

I have the Vintage Cherry SG. Love the growl of the Roswell pickups. Great bargain HB guitar. Only downside - neck dive - but liveable

Sounds great❤

I love both of my HB SGs. Have the Vintage Cherry and the DC600-VI and they are awesome. I upgraded almost everything on them but they were honestly just fine out of the box, and mine aren't even the Gotoh models. I just like tinkering LOL

That's pretty darned cool. The white one looks ace too - white and gold.. MMmmmm - but I just don't need another guitar... do I. Do i? And wow - coil split!

Coil Split! Thanks for such a killer review. Was going to save up for a used GIbson SG, but I think I'm just going to get this HB SG and try it out. Great work as always!

Great Guitar and great video, thanks.... Coil split!

Where did that no doubt inspiration come from 🔥🔥🔥

I own the LP version of this guitar the QC wasn’t the best, but after a good set up it’s very nice. I was impressed with the Tesla pickups. I really like mine.

I shouldn't come and watch your reviews because now I want it and I just bought a Yammy (which is nice) arrrghhhh! So many guitars so little time and money! Subbed..........

Unbelievably spec'd monster that looks like a Disney princess! The only bit I don't like is the coil-split, but hey, that's not something to split hairs over!

I would play that even without the COILSPLIT feature but that is some bang for the buck cheers! 🤘🏼💨🔨

I need it!!!! With "coil splits"... Its a beautiful guitar with beautiful sound! And I wont refer to it as an "SG" or "SG-style" but rather a Double Cut.. But either way, I MUST HAVE ONE!!! Also love to blue finish

That is a great looking guitar, I do agree, I like the thicker necks..... Coil split

Coil split.....🙏🙏🙏 Subbed mate.

Nice and beautiful guitar!

Coil split!! Also thanks for the awesome review!!!

Just bought a HB ST-62 which arrived today. Now having second thoughts about this guitar and the coil split.

Coil split and realize we are living in a better world. The machinery is getting better and better so it might be easier to make better guitars. Also, it was written somewhere that guitar sales are increasing globally. Well done HB! Make more guitars. Guitars make people happy and maybe less war.

Bought the same guitar, to make it my Les Trem SG. Well nothing to complain, good hardware, Frets nearly perfect. PU's sound OK, don't need other ones. Colourwise it's a question of taste. I changed the pickguard to off-white an put som "matt" gold PU rings on it. The only thing that bothers me it's the wood shaping especially on the upper horn. Looks as if they cut of a pied of bread :-) to fat even fatter than a cheap 70's Gibson SG100. For the rest a nice guitar.

Hello. I bought this model but the Pelham blue instead. I’m more for glossy finish than satin finish. Thank you 🙏 for the review.

Just ordered me one on reverb for 220!! This is such a steal I couldn't pass it up :)

Love it but not with gold hardware. And yes for the cold split! 👍

That's a cool SG that won't break the bank and it even has coil split.

I like to read the specs so as not to miss little details, like push pull pots etc 🤣. Nice guitar!

Dude...I'm sold...you made this guitar scream! Are the pickups waxed?

Coil splittt!!!!! Jajajaja, may be you missed that detail, but for me that made the review better 🤣

I just received mine in late December. I set the neck almost straight and lowered the strings to around 1/16" both bass and treble side. But the biggest and most noticeable difference in playability was achieved when I cut the nut slots properly. Now the guitar plays as good as, if not better than, a couple of my guitars that cost near ten times the price of this one. I REALLY like this Harley Benton DC-Deluxe Gotoh. It's loaded with great features and it just looks great too! I have the Daphne blue, non-gloss finish, and love the way the neck feels so smooth and does not get sticky. For those considering this guitar, I just wanted to mention that you may need to have the nut cut to get its playability up to its optimum. You may also need to steel wool the stainless steel frets because they are a bit scratchy from the factory (just remember to frog-tape over your pickups first!). Also, you may want to relocate the strap button to the tip of the upper horn so that there's no neck dive. Otherwise, it will dive like a submarine every time you let go of the neck! lol! After doing these things and putting on new strings, I can honestly say I'm happy with my purchase.

Coil Split! And wow you spent my 200 for me… 😂 dang. I just wanted an HB acoustic and I was going to mind my business but now I need that guitar

I do like the color and pick guard

Sweet guitar! Maybe asymmetric body. I can see why you’re enthusiastic about it. Very rock’n’roll!

Hi, after this Video i have order this Guitar but in Pelham Blue. LG Detlev

I genuinely want one, SS frets on a 250 EUR guitar is already an absolute win for me. I wish they would ship on where I am though, though even if they did the shipping fee would probably be the same price as the guitar lmao.

Great demo, super great guitar, and cool "coil split" I wonder why the LTD is cheaper than the DLX...

Thanks for that review ...I think I might just treat myself to one ..

I bought the black version after seeing this review, and I have the same response everyday-how can this be? With shipping from Germany to Utah $313! To say it exceeded my expectations would be a massive understatement.

Die klingt echt heftig,geeki👍🎸🔊🎵🎶😁

Nice guitar, different color maybe darker for me but great video. Coil split like jeans

Those are modeled after the ESP Viper which is why there is only one master and one tone pot and the body shape is more offset…the Harley Benton DC-580 has the SG/LP style two tones-two volume layout

sweet guitar bro! yaa i think this one is outta phase in the mid position...possibly a crossed wire or maybe a a-- backface magnet lol! i have a peavey raptor with the middle pup ceramic bar backwards...i like the sound so shes stayin like that...esp now with the "gilmour modswitch"....

As soon as I heard No Doubt I knew I needed this... HB #5

Great review! Is this guitar suitable for small hands?

I need this in shell pink. Actually, my autocorrect wanted to type "shell oink" - and I'm still OK with that. Amazing axe I need to split coils with.

Hi ! A long time that I want to say to you how good are your videos about Harley Benton guitars. In this case, I'm really seduced by the mat finish. Thanks !

An Underrated force of Nature Beauty there's something very special about the Headstock shape and the fact that is darkened or Ebonized rosewood neck, also the fact that it has the right tuners keystone shape i ll never have it any other way just give it to me on BLACK cos TONY IOMMI showed me the way and SG for President only wish the input was infront just like old Gibson style

Great specs, but I think a new set of pups would make it golden. I don't care for the stock ones at all. Great review.

Coil split!… Even though I have a Epiphone SG Standard… I kind of want one of these too 😬

I thought when you'd taken the pickguard off you were going to say that you preferred the look of the guitar without it. I certainly did. Also, coil split!

A No Doubt band fan I'm guessing. I caught you played some of that riff. The part at 8:13.

Great review. This guitar punches well over its weight so its a no brainer and yes you can pay three or even four times more and not get a guitar as good as this one. If mine was lost or stolen I wouldn't hesitate in buying another one. Lastly I am not getting the volume drop when selecting the middle position nor that unusual change in tone so maybe you are right yours is out of phase.

Nice! Coil Split!

I brought my shell pink one on clearance for £150! If it was a dog I was going to strip the hardware for parts for my LP copy, im not changing anything, maybe the pickups but they sound great for low gain or blues. My only criticism is the screws are sharp at the top, the pick guard is a bit naff being thick single ply
