Harley Benton ST-70 Black Paisley Stratocaster Full Fender Upgrade!.. Worth it?

[@leonardszubinski4709]

I own this same model and it's a beauty as you can see. It sounds great and has no issues so far.

Just subbed today, great video. I have a Squire I need to fix up (the scratch plate is cracked and a tone pot needs rewiring) I bought it for 25 euros off some doozer who managed to thread the truss rod (??? I cant even imagine). It was badly bowed so the action was terrible, after many trys I got a grip on it and fixed the neck so now I am in the market for a scratch plate. You were absolutely blessed to get those parts and the person that sent them is a saint. Peace from Ireland mo chara, I look foward to your next video.

[@BrentHutchinson]

Thanks so much and well done on that tele

[@jemahl123]

I quite the look of the white pups against the black guard.

[@morris9225]

Why...? Now it's different, it allows you to watch something out of order

[@BrentHutchinson]

Yeah I was surprised. It looks alright.

[@brianmcfarland876]

Thanks for the video and all the great information! I just ordered this guitar. I think I prefer the Roswell tone, but I can see where the other upgrades all add to the playability of the instrument - and that's what counts, playability and sound. So thanks, and you've got a new subscriber in New Zealand.

[@BrentHutchinson]

Ahh great and welcome to the community... stay safe and speak soon !

[@2bikemikesguitartopics145]

I've got one close to delivery. It's been 115kms from my house since before Easter. Hoping it will make it here soon. Unboxing and initial analysis to be posted on my channel followed by some initial changes

[@BrentHutchinson]

I am looking forward to that

[@davidmcclelland6148]

Please buy a buffing compound block when that runs out 👌🏻😂

[@bigkeg9173]

Honestly, I like the sound of the Roswell pickups ......but its your guitar 😃

[@BrentHutchinson]

yep so do I Very different to the Fender ones. I have been playing the guitar I put the Roswells in and thinking of putting them back lol

[@boudewijnborger1492]

I was pleasantly suprised by the roswell pups in my HB TE40TBK, they sound great...distinct sound, and they roar. Decided not to change those (did change nut, tuners, and soon bridge).

[@unofficialbhb7284]

BRILLIANT BBG Vlog M8ty..... find these fascinating. ...... GREAT stuff...... M&MX / Mark T X

[@luclomme550]

Very cool video!!!!! I think it sounds very nice with both pickups :) I still really love the body of the guitar, it's such a beautiful design! Great video, keep going! :)))))

[@morris9225]

Hi Brent, as always a good video! I think you appreciate Roswell pickups, you didn't throw them 😁😁😁

[@BrentHutchinson]

they are in my Aria

[@etpslick100]

The rosewell pickups are not bad pickups. Different but not bad. Just a matter of choice. I like Tone Specific pickups myself but the rosewell are good enough to get the job done.😌

[@BrentHutchinson]

Agreed! 😎

[@etpslick100]

Brent Hutchinson my only gripe with Harley Benton is their quality control is very INCONSISTENT! You get some good or bad guitars and that makes ME leery to buy one. I’m a bassist but wanted a nice guitar to learn on and I was looking @ the Fusion Pro II, but was afraid of the quality control of the guitar. If HB get that part together, I’ll eventually get one. But I think you did a nice job on that strat!😌👍🏾

[@BrentHutchinson]

@@etpslick100 Hey man I totally get it. Maybe try a cheaper one first?

[@etpslick100]

Brent Hutchinson yeah I was looking on the Thomann website and seen some for less that 100 euros, some for 140-150 euros, but just love the look of those Fusion Pro-II’s. They have 24 frets, and I like the H-S-H setup. We’ll see.😳

[@Raul1971xxx]

¿What do you think about DiMarzio, Seymour-Duncan and EMG pickups?.

[@BrentHutchinson]

All great with different tones I used active EMG pups for years

[@Raul1971xxx]

@@BrentHutchinson Aha.

[@chuy9311]

hello ! i need a cheap guitar! the Harley Benton ST-70 is awesome, but do you think the is better than squier guitar?

[@BrentHutchinson]

I think so yes. The pickups and the wilkinson trem are great and make it a better deal.

[@GrimnerStudioUK]

sweet dude :) i really enjoy watching these :) im looking forward to mine hehehe :)

[@BrentHutchinson]

Oh yeah baby!

[@no_modsiwantguitarstock5162]

Why? It sounded good from the start.

[@BrentHutchinson]

It sure did and I am not enjoying the fender pups much so the Roswells will probs go back in

[@no_modsiwantguitarstock5162]

@@BrentHutchinson yes nowadays harley bentons doesnt need anything just common take care and setup.

[@BrentHutchinson]

@@no_modsiwantguitarstock5162 you are right. I only did it coz I had the parts. The tuners are much better but really that is all. I do love HBs

[@Glock_Doc]

Why not buy a gd Fender ? It’s like you bought a ford escort and put all audi performance parts on it.

[@nebojsaciric4656]

Put a Fender neck on this guitar !
