I recently purchased a new Jackson JS32T Rhoads, Black with White Bevels, Made in Indonesia. It was on sale for US $236 with free shipping. Its' fit and finish is flawless; zero issues or flaws; setup was near perfect, all I had to do was a minor intonation adjustment. Well balanced, very light weight, if it weighs 6 lbs I'd be surprised, very comfortable and easy to play. I had planned to replace the stock pickups and add a coil tap, but the stock pickups sound great, clear, full and respond well to guitar volume, only getting dirty starting at guitar volume on 8+. Hands down this is the best guitar value I've ever found. I have seen guitars costing several times as much with flaws and needing much work... Cheers!

I have 2 of the Eart Strats that I changed out the pickups and tuners. I challenge anyone to find a better playing guitar. Get one and fix the frets if you need to and you're still getting something that blows away any Fender I've ever played. They modeled a lot of their guitars around Suhr guitars and have become my favorite guitars mainly from a playability standpoint. They just play and feel unreal.

Great video 🙂 Very informative 🙂 Truth is, most guitars costing under $300 ( sometimes more ) will require a complete fret leveling... Most of the guitars in my collection are affordable guitars and every time I'll do a fret leveling plus other things and mods according to my personal taste... But it's true that Harley Benton has come a LONG way since the 2000's... Back then their guitars were so terrible it used to be a joke among us guitar players 😄😄😄 I own 8 so far and I am wowed... Again, great video 🙂🙂🙂

My Eart SSS is unbelievable! Best guitar I have ever owned. When I decided to get serious about guitar, I bought a Fender for 1,500.00. I was proud until about a month later when a friend of mine was playing a solo.....He noticed right away something very wrong.....I was not at the stage in my playing to even think about playing the upper register.........to find the neck was twisted along with some fret issues. I could not return it and swore I would never pay that much again and actually built myself one. Until the Eart, my DIY was my favorite. I wish Eart the best as I cannot believe the attention to detail, down to the embossed logo on the injection molded foam shipping case.

Made the same mistake. Bought a US strat, because i thought that’s what you’re supposed to do. Never really liked it and apparently the truss rod was broken! Had to sell it at a huge loss. I now have a mid range ibanez and two modded squier affinitys and i love all of them. Unless you’re a millionaire i don’t see any reason to buy a 1.5-3k guitar!

I have the original Ibanez SA260 that was made strictly for the Japanese market but outsourced to Korea. Well, it has a 3 piece neck + the fretboard, its trem bar is a much more advanced one, and the frame around the bridge pup is rectangular, not this weirdo cut corner shape. This new Chinese one is a much cheaper version.

Wow, I actually have an Eko strat. I love it :) It was given to me for my birthday five years ago and, tbh, as far as I'm concerned, it's an excellent guitar, especially for its price. That being said, when I went to buy a better amp, I asked for the same model guitar to test it with. The guitar that the store clerk gave me had brutal fret sprout. So maybe I lucked out. Or maybe you didn't. Or maybe the fact that my sister, who can play pretty well, handpicked the guitar helped. I can't disagree with you, because I've only played two Eko strats, and even though they were the same model, the one that wasn't handpicked by the other guitarist in my family wasn't that good. Edit, because I want to add something: Sadly, the secondhand market in my country is just horrible. Way too many people try to sell their used instruments or gear at the same price they've bought them for, or even higher.

I enjoyed this video, an value your opinion, but (and there always is a but!) you do feature a lot of Harley Benton axes here. Perhaps it is simply because of your location, but I would like to have seen perhaps a Firefly, Indio, Grote, or some other newer brands making a name for themselves in the "budget" guitar market. I have a Firefly in my modest collection, and it fits quite nicely among my Les Pauls, Strats & Teles'. Anyways, nice vid, great playing and good advice! Cheers!

IMHO, if you live in Europe, Harley Bentons are unbeatable in the lower price range, simply because of the sheer variety of models they offer at low prices, combined with the consistent quality of the instruments. I have two Harley Bentons and I helped my sister buy one for her husband - all three were very cheap and very good.

Yes. I bought a used SX Strat for £70 but I bought it as a bit of a project . I had to have the frets levelled, eventually (my friend did it for free) but really only after I changed the trem for a Wilkinson trem. I put Vanson Locking tuners on it and a Graphtec tusk nut. I liked it but then it just didn't sound right so I bought some cheap Warman Texas triple and now it's great. I actually bought a Swap ash Telecaster Maple neck, awesome guitar for the money, but if your expecting to hear a Telecaster you won't these pickup's are hot. I'm cool with that though and it's a great guitar I paid £200 for. My other Strats are a little more expensive I bought a Michael Kelly 63 Strat, and the last one I bought is the Larry Carlton FM S7 in Blue and those 2 guitars are awesome. BTW The new Ibanez Azes look Megga for the money. Harley Benton really up'd their game and I've heard great things about them. lovely to hear a guitar player who is'nt a Brand snob.

Did you do a setup on any of these? A quick check of the relief and adjusting the action should make the first 2 "avoid" guitars playable. Can't really help with the broken trem on the 3rd. Also like you mentioned, buying used is always a great option for cheap guitars. I got a Schecter Damien 6 from a pawn shop for $80. Guitar Center often has Squier Affinity Strats for $80 too.

What is the name of that song u played on the Harley Benton fusion HSH Roasted? I've heard Slash play it, you, & others! To be honest, I am looking for another guitar with lock downs that plays equivalent to my dearly beloved Westone Spectrum LX which I don't have anymore. I lost everything inside our house which was stolen by my brother. My Westone spectrum lx (198mbk) made my throat tickle & made me cough when I played it! Best guitar I have ever owned. How I'd love to have it back! I must admit that i like every color guitar as long as it is black.

Hiya Elmo! I'd never heard of HB until just recently. Any experience with their RB-414CS bass? It's a Ricky copy that goes for about $300 I was thinking about picking up and eventually modding the hell out of it. From what I've gathered so far, the nut is a skyscraper and the bridge is terrible, but those would be pretty easy to upgrade for openers.

Hi! Could u maybe help me choosing new guitar for me? I have played guitar over 6years when i was child and i stopped playing when i was 16 i think and its been 6years now and i started playing again and i have really nice guitar (Ibanez rga42tfmz) but i could want another one. Problem to me has been that the most guitars i have found there has been too thick neck and my old guitar has nice "slim"/thin neck and those what i have found was over 800€ and my price range is 200€-450€max. And those what i have found with that thin neck has these what everyone is saying to avoid😅 So if u could help me it would be so nice!😌

It was this video that convinced me to stump up the £139.00 for a TE62 and you are right - what a brilliant instrument, especially for the price. Best budget Tele copy I've ever owned - looks great, sounds like a Tele should, well made, plays well and even comes with decent strings. Definitely no complaints and if you're thinking of a guitar of this type at this price point, you won't be disappointed.

@@skromnytomasz3489 From memory I think the TE-52 is a hefty 10lbs, the TE-62 comes in at a much more sensible 6.7lbs - both approximations but shows what a big difference we're talking. The TE-62 is available in "CC" version, without the binding on the body and very slightly cheaper than the "DB" (about £6) the latter also has a laurel fretboard as opposed to the maple on the "CC" - just cosmetic preferences but I prefer the look of the "DB" myself.
