Harley Benton TE 90FLT VW Deluxe Series

[@thehound2161]

This is the HB that brings me the most unique and pleasant tones, of the three i own. The neck is thin, flat, smooth, and fast. No lacquer just smooth goodness. The PUPs are as chimey and metal ping sounding as any guitar i have. The wood is good quality ash, chambered for weight and tone. It does stay in tune and can be manipulated easily through the bridge. Not a great bridge, but usable and adjustable. It is just fun and inexpensive.

[@leobg389]

You should do more reviews on the HB's guitars. It is full of people out there making reviews without really knowing to play ...Thanks for the video!

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Check out Jonathan Koh, a guitarist from Singapore - he does a lot with very inexpensive Harley Bentons, and is a great player. Not to mention, Henning Pauly.

[@SebPerfake]

@@davelanciani-dimaensionx Henning is not that good a player, he talks to much and he is affiliated with harleybenton/thomann, Def not my first play to go to have good advice on HB guitars

[@ferramirez4570]

@@SebPerfake still Jonathan kuh is a good option if you're still interesting in a good demo.

[@andyk9735]

@@SebPerfake Henning might not be the greatest guitarist of all time, but he's still more than good enough to demo the guitars. Despite his affiliation to Thomann I have also seen him being critical of a few HB models when they haven't been up to par - so he's not just a complete shill. Sure he may be biased to an extent (everyone is) but his videos are still a good source of HB reviews. I'll third that Jonathan Koh is a fantastic player and a great reviewer.

Thanks so much!

LOVED the funky riffs you played. I got a major Nile Rodgers vibe.

[@MikaelLewisify]

And that’s how you play a tele!!! You’ve got some serious chops brutha!! Beautiful guitar.

[@rovickalhambra4840]

I love this guy’s style of playing the guitar

[@TheElrondo]

Came for the guitar... ...stayed for the playing You got the rhythm Jay!!! I'm watching tons of guitar vids and lots of good guitarists and you don't have to hide behind them. I got me one of those Harbronitas used for 100€ quid and installed Gretsch Filtertrons to it, wich were laying around in my drawer. Added a knock off Bigsby and now it's one of my favorite guitars.

[@bobbywilliams4655]

I love this guitar. I don’t care what brand or price tag it has. It has a unique and great sound to my ears.

[@dalepierce23]

love this guys demos. love watching him play just as much!

[@yargnad]

Best review of this guitar so far. Serious chops you've got there. From the looks of the pickguard it appears that you've actually given this thing a decent test drive before dishing out an opinion. So many reviews are straight OOB before the paint even dries. Thanks for taking the time to do it right. Subbed.

[@colmwatulikededazio973]

Tasty playing , great sound demo ...loved that rocnabilly bit ...a great run through all round..

[@Oilid]

Did a review on the very same guitar. For the price, I think it's one of the best Harley Benton guitars. Btw, your playing is mind blowing.

[@SimonBorro]

Je vois qu'on suit les meilleur chaîne définitivement... ;) Quel talent ce Jay !!!

[@Oilid]

@@SimonBorro 😃 Oui. Il a tout !

[@BloodpactORG]

Definitely the best HB with any kind of humbucker. Roswell humbuckers generally suck (their single coils are great) but these filtertrons are quite good. This is also the guitar that needs the least work, the nut will need replacing one day but that's it. Changing the string tree heads is also a good idea but that's done in 2 seconds for a buck.

[@pineapple3037]

Freedom Of Nomad : don’t worry too much about it, just play if you love it, and the results will come.

[@naujcdl]

Can anyone agree putting this guy and Jonathan Koh on a collaboration is a great KZbin covid concert for all? Both can make HB guitars or others sound awesome.

[@dratfho]

This Vid sold me the Harley Benton TE-90FLT VW Deluxe Series...your proper Mister, hands down...thankyou for the great licks.

[@SG-js2qn]

I like the Filtertron pickups, and am happy to see them finding a place in the HB lineup. And you have a vibe! 👍

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

I like your playing, very expressive, not mindless shredding or repetitive stuff

[@bigkid757]

Just bought this guitar, it’s still on the boat 🚣‍♀️. Can’t wait to get it. Great review!

[@MAllen-ng8pl]

wow, why aren't you world famous? incredible talent.

[@ernestcaruana7717]

well he is kind of famous -at least to me.....

[@Metalltool]

You got a great tone mate. I mean your fingers. perfect, honest demo.

[@rula42]

Most of all, you have the perfect sound (and the fitting style of playing!!) for that kinda guitar! It really helps, though Harley Benton really improved and manufactures some decent gear now

[@V4D2]

nice playing man. groovy stuff, in deed. you were really in the mood to play ;) . thanks for the video

[@Mr3DBob]

It's a FilterCaster! It sounds great in your hands. I'm not crazy about the reverse headstock, but it is congruent with this model.

[@TheElementWild]

Love your playing dude!

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

My guess: FLT stands for Filtertron, VW for Vintage White, and, of course TE for Telecaster. Nice playing.

[@jamescoughlan8193]

Think this guy could make a broom handle and a piece of string sound amazing so I'm not surprised that HB sounds so amazing. great picking.

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

You didn't even have to do the review, I subbed while you were rocking out. Wow! Great job JLJ!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@johnpatist9797]

Great playing! You make this guitar sounding like 2000 bucks!!

[@sbrown1953]

Very tasty tones & playing!

[@rylock1048]

I feel like the real question is how is the neck? That is the biggest make or break for any guitar in any price range for me.

[@RhysHoneMusic]

The necks are like butter! I have one of these but they seem to have changed the range slightly as they dont stock the white one anymore and the bridge and writing on the headstock looks different to mine.

[@FLITT]

I have one and it's my favourite guitar, the neck is matt and incredibly smooth... The finishing is better than my Epi SG pro and Gibson V. Maybe mine was a fluke but it is incredible.

[@jerrysoetewey7002]

I think the neck has a 12" radius, medium Jumbo frets. it's pretty well build. Mine has some fret issues that need taking care of. Other than that, it's a pretty smooth neck. Full 42mm nut, so close to Fender specs. As for the profile goes, I would call it a medium "D" and very comfortble to play.

[@adriyanmusic]

Well bro , 1st of all you are a damn killer player ;) About Harley Benton I have Harley Benton Les Paul 450 plus , I do gigs all the time nothing bad with it ,sound amazing ,no problems with tuners ,looks Great and I prefer her then a Gibson that is at least 3000 Euros , Harley Benton are f great , that's just my opinion... respect to your style ,love it

[@guitaronwater9034]

Fantastic playing!! Great demo of what the guitar will do in a really player's hands...

[@joeblankenship377]

That's some funky pickin' ya doing there! This is one of the contenders on my list of "cheap teles I might get." Love the simplicity of the look. Reverse headstock looks pretty dope on a Tele body. And based on how it sounds in this video, might not even bother with a pickup upgrade!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Glad you dug it!

[@reverb508]

Sounds good! That said, you could make a soup ladle sound good...

[@JayLeonardJ]

Is the soup ladle true bypass? Thanks for writing :)

[@djmojolosangeles]

Great guitar and magnificent playing! Is there a difference with the TE 90FLT models that do not say deluxe series, or what does deluxe include? Thank you

[@boddumblues]

Looks like an ideal beginners guitar; No trem, simple switching, humbuckers with a clear sound. I guess a good P&W guitar as well.

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

also very easy to set optimal action, have very low action with no buzz with individual saddles which is a blessing

[@ciachetti]

Well that was some sick playing!!!!! Nice Job. I just recently bought this guitar.

[@Hazardteam]

*03:35** What type (genere/style) is that music?* I heard similar sometimes, but sortest on a Lee Roth album by Jason Becker, but i dunno what is it type.

[@jonwhite254]

Sounds great 👍🏻 The new JA-60CC looks interesting. Maybe you could try this next .

[@MiguelDamas]

[@jameswright2230]

Great review. You make this guitar sing.

[@leftymadrid]

That looks fun!!! Funny, I was looking at this particular one, but I then came across the FUSION ll HSH LH FNT Roe, of course nothing to do with the type of sound the TE 90FLT...has and gives. After i ordered the FUSION, I still thought, "I'll have to get the TE 90FLT " as well Geez, damn prices suck you in to this Harley World!!!! Nice playing by the way :-) :-) darn thing sounds great!!!

[@montyellingsworth4982]

woooooooo hoo somebody get the fire hose.. this is a man on fire. Very nice playing.

Harley Benton makes decent guitars for the money. JLJ can make any guitar sounds great! HE CAN PLAY!!! Nice sounding guitar.😌👍🏾

[@mikemccourt6225]

Nice. It sounds like it needs to have the nut re-set and cut correctly - tuning is off in the 'cowboy chords' area of the fretboard.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I'm guessing the pickups are lower output? About as much as a Tele single coil, or more? Filtertrons tend to be on the lower side.

[@stratarg]

Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing!

[@eddiel1538]

Hi Jay That was some great playing, for all those guitar players who splitting hair over pickups, guitar wood, and brands you proved them it's about guitar player everything else is just marketing for suckers, best regards from Australia

[@claudecat]

Interesting guitar for sure, but you could make any guitar sound great. I recently got my first HB, the TE-80 Prince thing, and I'm super impressed. You should review one of those! Apparently they've improved this model over the years, with better pickups (one feature of this type of guitar is that it supposedly has Strat type pickups rather than Tele), nicer headstock logo, and a very cool dark wood binding on the maple fretboard. I freakin' love this guitar! It is extremely heavy though... gotta be well over ten pounds. Anyway, I'll have to look into the Cabronita thing more. I'd heard of them but don't know much.

[@jimkiousis]

hey J ! awesome demo as always my friend ! Can i put a normal ''ashtray'' tele bridge int it ?

[@danceifyouwantto]

Great review, and AWESOME playing! :)

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

Damn it!! I want to get an HB, but I really hate the upside headstock. It stopped my purchase button finger.

[@rickhill6277]

Hi, nice demo. Would you tell me please how was the Fit and Finish on the Guitar when it arrived? Thanks man, have a Great Day!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I would say the fit and finish is quite similar to what you would see in a Squier guitar. Not as smooth and precise as a high end guitar. You can definitely open it up a lot with a few tweaks.

[@Falor99]

Man I just come here to see you play

I think you would like the CST 24T P90 (Double P90 PRS style). Give it a go if that's something that interests you :) Price is about 50€ more than this one.
