EXTREMELY well produced demo... holy crap... I know how much work that split screen stuff is and it is great to see someone else who doesn't shy away from the time intensive editing. Great playing, good sounds, great information and a direct vocal sound without room tone... what else does one want... I didn't see the mention of my channel cominand that just out the icing on a very sweet cake! Thanks so much for that! I would recommend that Thomann does more videos with you!

Henning, there is one thing missing here and it's actually the most important part of a guitar demo for me - a playthrough of the guitar without the backing music and heavy production. Raw sound is what counts. Any guitar can sound good after it's produced in a studio and you know that! Nevertheless I still like Agufishes' work.

Harley Benton are great instruments in that price range. I myself got myself an Harley Benton J-Bass because I wanted to start playing bass and didn't want to spend to much cause I didn't know if I stick with it. Was a little bit over 150€ with a small amp, gigbag and so on.... For that price WOW. Feels really good to play, a quality build, nothing that seems cheap. A friend of mine also got a HB acoustic guitar that was also really nice to play and when I checked the price i nearly pissed myself. about 70€. I played acoustic guitars 4x that price who sucked in comparison. If you're looking for a cheap quality instrument then check out Harley Benton.

It makes me so mad that large guitar brands like Gibson pretend its a "high end" feature to add a third humbucker to their guitars, like seriously it costs nothing to add a third humbucker. Its a shame that most mainstream guitar brands keep features like these away from more reasonably priced models.

I'd love to hear a demo of this guitar in other styles as well, but I think that's best left to other KZbinrs. Metal is kind of my bread and butter; when I hear riffs and songs in my head it's all metal. You'd definitely want someone like Shane from In the Blues to demo it in other styles instead of me haha.

Agufish Only issue is I don't think anyone else will demo that guitar. Once question, when standing does the weight from it swing the neck downward? I had that issue with a vipor.
@agufish
@agufish 8 жыл бұрын
Haha, you never know. Thomann is trying to get their guitars to sell outside of Europe more and more, so they may be willing to send other KZbinrs some guitars as well! And yep, that's what I meant by neck-dive. Almost all SG-style guitars suffer from it because of the thin body. You can generally sort this out by moving the front strap peg or using a strap that isn't as smooth.

LOL maybe? But their stuff messes up the whole guitar value perspective. They are "this" close to being epi quality, for half or a third of the price. Some are even better than Epis. It's crazy. If it wasn't such a bitch to return them they'd won the US.

Yeah I've tried to get my Thomann guy through email but he hasn't responded, probably still on holiday. If you look up Nick in the States, he has a pretty good video on the new new CITES regulations and how that affects Harley Bentons. Long story short, the cost of importing/exporting rosewood is now super expensive, and isn't really viable for lower-range guitars. I'm not clear on how much Bento business they do to the States, but I can see them moving to other woods like roasted maple or wood alternatives like ebonol (which I'm a fan of) to continue to sell to the US.

They are replacing the rosewood on the entire HB lineup with something called Roseacer (a kind of baked maple that looks and feels like rosewood). It's on some models like the 8 strings and some of the singlecuts, but not on this one yet. Should be getting some more Harley Bentons with Roseacer to try out :)

Yo dudes, I was thinking about buying this guitar. I'm not exactly a beginner but this is as much as my student budget can get me. Can any of you give me your opinion on the neck of the guitar? I heard somewhere that the neck really dives a lot and that it's mostly unplayable standing up. Any experience about this?

@agufish 7 жыл бұрын
Depends what kind of music you're playing. The neck is reasonably thick for a metal guitar, but still quite comfortable. As far as neck dive goes, pretty much all SG style guitars have neck dive due to the position of the strap button, light-weight body, etc. It's not unplayable standing up, but you do always need to have a hand on the neck or it will dive.

Well I'm more of a blues rock kind of guy so I guess it will suite me a little better. So what I understand is that the neck dive is manageable. Also props for responding in less than a day, you just earned yourself a new subscriber friend.

why is the head stock diamond a gibby or epi one - your playing , however the one your trying to sell has the harley diamond ?

For the record, I don't try to sell anything. I just demo, and if the video helps you decide a piece of gear is right for you, I ask that you use my affiliate code so I can continue to make these videos for y'all. As for the diamond, I would guess it was a little too similar for the Big G's liking, so Thomann have changed it, and I get sent an older model for the demo.

no worries mate no big deal - and i was not digging at for it , was just asking as i like the look of that sg but would probably get an epi version - but then again i like the fact its white rather then the epi nasty cream one , then id just upgrade the ...... out of it lol

haha, no problems dude. bear in mind that the shape is a little offset, more like an ESP Viper than an SG, and is pretty close to that "aged white"/cream color of the Epiphones as well.

I don't know why they made the headstock black instead of the same color as the body with black accents. That doesn't look good to me.

You really need to show what the guitar can sound like. Most guitars even cheap ones can do noise but good guitars need to show off tone.

There appears to be 3 versions of this guitar. The first has the correct SG shape and the diamond on the headstock, the second still has the diamond but has the unsymmetrical body shape, the third and last has lost the Gibson diamond on the headstock and has the unsymmetrical body shape. Version 1 is by far the best as its the closest to the Gibson guitar it was trying to copy. I believe Gibson has contact Thomman, told them to make the changes or lose the ability to sell Gibson guitars. We as customers end up with a progressively shitter guitar, it sucks.

I'm not sure the guitars are necessarily shittier. Less "Gibson"-like for sure (their legal team is ruthless), but the early Bentos were pretty bad from what I hear. That being said, I do wish they still had the SG shape, I prefer it to the Viper shape.

Right now due to the new regulations, they aren't shipping rosewood-equipped Harley Bentons outside of the EU. Thomann is trying to switch all the rosewood to alternative materials like baked maple and ebonol to sell outside the EU, and we should have more information in the coming weeks.
