It’s a hit and run! That was absurd and the guitar survived!!!!!! The tones. Wow.

[@Chris-Ian]

I don't need another guitar, but dude your playing is absolutely marvelous. I'm going to start watching your videos just for the pure pleasure of listening to your playing. Subscribed!

[@richardforrest5781]

The way these Asian companies can make these guitars are: 1. They have scanning equipment to image the high end guitars. 2. They have the latest CNC carving equipment. 3. They have experienced luthiers who are setting up the guitars 4. They have state of art spray and finishing processes

[@enthused7591]

Oh yeah, Indonesia is the new Korea in terms of quality for the money leaders. I've had quite a few $700-$1,000 Fender, EVH and Charvel guitars that all came from the same Mexico factory and those are phenomenal. These new Indonesian-made guitars are right there with them. It's a golden age of guitars and that's an understatement.

[@ThomasDoubting5]

150 bucks 😂😂😂 sounds absolutely awesome.

[@enthused7591]

I bought 3 last month all in different colors and all 3 showed up absolutely flawless. The neck and fretwork feel better than any sub $1,000 guitar I've ever played and the sound quality is well worth 4-5x what the guitar costs. I wouldn't rule out buying a couple more.

[@RichBischoff]

Yup

[@advancedraymondology2914]

What's the neck like? It's hard to tell in the video but it looks a little chunky, which some people love. Would you say it's more chunky or more thin?

[@enthused7591]

@@advancedraymondology2914 It's chunkier but not super fat. I've always loved Charvel necks, but this is like 10% thicker with a similar feel.

[@advancedraymondology2914]

​@@enthused7591thanks!

[@richardforrest5781]

Gibson and Fender should be embarrassed at their pricing levels now!

[@bluessumlin...7067]

I have this guitar ridiculously cheap like you mentioned out of the box perfect used it live it’s awesome… great review and video!🙂👍🎸

[@charlesflint9048]

I got one identical to this a year or two ago; it is a really nice instrument to play. The price was a small fraction of what you would pay for a Gibson or Fender, it stands up very well against much more expensive guitars.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

A. really Beautiful performance! So melodic and not predictable!!! Bravo Rich! Great playing! Nice guitar as well.👍🏼

[@jeffflint9086]

Nice playing as always Rich. You got some great sounds out of that guitar. Harley Benton guitars in general are good value for the money. Some delivery drivers have no respect for the items they are paid for to deliver safely.

[@bismarkwilliamson8117]

Youre tearing it up! I just bought this same exact guitar man it sounds phenomenal

[@Alanoffer]

, excellent throwing technique your hired , nice demo thanks for the clean tones

[@bluesdawg8014]

I just bought one and love it. Mine is the JA60 OW. Plays and sounds great. I agree with everything you are passing on to others. I also just bought the DC junior by Harley Benton in Benton Blue. Another cool axe : ) It really helps with these guitars if you know how to do setups. New strings, intonation, action and trust rod adjustments. Other than that these are very nice instruments for any level player. "Peace with no division" Los Angeles

[@1972Georges]

very tasty solo at the end. very nice.

[@twowaymuir]

Another great video and I'm a sucker for that color.

[@scottclark6475]

Thank you for showing that you can play lead on it as well thank you for not playing that smashing pumpkins song like every other demo of this axe

[@tyvoremusic]

Oh wow! The delivery man.... I'm surprise the guitar is still in one piece.

[@EatAPeach72]

Bruh

[@KnightDarkGabriel]

If I see this in real life, I would just kill that guy.

[@brianhutson2337]

Excellent! New sub and bought this one in Pink, for my daughter. Keep rocking!

[@LARPSMOTHER]

Ill have you know Mr Rich Bischoff, I now own a Harley Benton SC-450 PLUS VB,, Cuz of your video with the route 66, Your video had the best sound most tones and best display of the guitar out of all the many others about the same guitar, As I wanted to get the best LP Copy I could I watched many videos about others and the HB VB, Even after I ordered it. I re watched your video many times in excitement for mine to arrive, ,it came today,,Thank You

[@RichBischoff]

Welcome! That's a good one.

[@bobfurman2739]

I got a TE 52 butterscotch Tele .So good out of the box My Tech guys would not even restring . Reverb HB store.

[@LookieChannel]

Wow, amazed by both tone of the guitar and your playing. Almost made me buy a second one :D Sooo verstatile guitar and thick tone.

[@Crow-jg4sj]

HB Jazzmaster is a nice budget rhythm guitar. If I were gigging I'd probably get new tuners. Not a big deal

[@snakemont]

Thank you!

[@serdar.saglam]

Awesome playing and great guitar 🔥🔥🔥

[@guitarzan0515]

Hey Rich, wonderful guitar work! As to the “Clean “ requests, sure many of us would like to hear that, but You play Your Style, and that’s the important thing. You show us what that thing is capable of, and when You like whatYou hear, we’ll that’s the best!!! Many of us old timers didn’t get to play How we wanted in those old smoky bars and nite clubs. Just keep doing what you do! You are Very Lucky to be able to play with your Family Too!!💥👍👍🤙🤙

Thanks!

[@TheBigH1975]

Been wanting a jazz master style, but trying not to spend Fender money. Looks like this could be an option for me.

[@schance1666]

Are you in the states? Where did you score this for $150? I'm in the USA and don't see anywhere with it at that price, except the amazing Thomann in Germany who I bought a lot of stuff from while in Europe, but shipping to the USA is $88. Killer demo and beautiful looking and sounding guitar!

[@RichBischoff]

I bought it through Thomann.

[@schance1666]

@@RichBischoff Thanks for the response. Are you in Europe or did you pay the $88 in shipping to the USA?

[@RichBischoff]

@schance1666 I'm in the US and to be honest this one was sent to me in exchange for a video.

[@schance1666]

@@RichBischoff Ah ok, cool deal. i thought you said in the vid you paid for it. nice score!

[@stefannita3439]

Hi, great video! Just wondering how heavy is this guitar?

[@AndrewGavinWebber]

Sweet tones. I'm guessing the guitar wasn't really delivered by Amazon, right?

[@RichBischoff]

Correct, that intro was just theatrical.

[@AndrewGavinWebber]

@@RichBischoff Yes, of course. Silly me.

[@PooNinja]

All freight carriers should have mandatory music appreciation classes and learn respect for the instrument they deliver!!!! Lunar Express is just as bad. Sweet pickups Edit: I’m amazed at how good an instrument is available below the $300 mark in my youth anything less than 500 was a toy at best now you can get gig ready gear and not break the bank.

[@mylogify]

Hahahaha the intro was great just read the comments, it was staged :D.

[@Mr_Ashley]

No way was the beginning real 😂

[@RichBischoff]

Correct

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

Maybe I am going color blind, but that guitar looks "Light Blue" to me NOT "Seafoam Green." 😎

[@RoyMcKaren]

HB's are very hit and miss really. I've had some good ones, some meh. I had a great one and a unplayable one. It all depends I guess on what day of the week it is, lol.

[@conordyer2307]

DiD that delivery driver actually throw that? Wtf I'd order a few small items, wait till he came back to deliver again and then throw hands In his face for that shit

[@RichBischoff]

More theater than anything. Trying to make the vids more entertaining.

[@conordyer2307]

Video is great dude! Really enjoyed it. got the harley bentpn amarok baratone and mr 'mosrite' modern yesterday and the big box was kinda damaged so I feared the worst but both guitars were in perfect condition Got the JA 60 in the blue colour just before christmas, harley bentons really are hard to beat for the price. Only problem its finding space for them all as my bass/guitar collection is at 24 now, luckily the only guitar left I want os a dan electro 12 string and it's not due to be in stock till August lol

[@1972Georges]

the guitar looks tiny in your hands.

[@RichBischoff]

Yep, they are already small bodied guitars, so a guy like me who 6'4" is going to make it look tiny.

[@jonalexander8935]

Hey Rich... Put a Les Trem II on mine in about 15 minutes. Check it out for content. Thanks!

[@cityman1111]

I know you can play cleanly, why don't you? i cannot tell what any guitar sounds like when you add any effects.

[@RichBischoff]

Watch the whole video, please. Your comment tells me you watched the first 30 seconds. Stop making comments like this till you watch the whole vid.

[@PooNinja]

@@RichBischoffi often add a “ edits after full view “ to avoid these issues

[@louisfryzel4618]

@@RichBischoff I watched the entire video. Please tell me the section where you played clean ... without any overdirve, distortion or fuzz. There is a section where you lowered the volume and it cleaned up, but it still was not clean. I don't know cityman1111 but I also think a guitar like this needs to be played clean as well as with distortion or overdrive to demonstrate what it is capable of producing.

[@RichBischoff]

At 2:30 its pretty damn clean. I'm not sure what you guys are looking for? My cleans aren't your guys type of cleans. I suggest you watch a different video if that's what you looking for, like maybe a purist jazz channel, because I like a bit of breakup.

[@louisfryzel4618]

@@RichBischoff Clean is clean; it is not clean with breakup. After all, it is a "Jazz-master" clone in the first place so I think it would have been helpful to have heard some pure cleans, that's all.
