Harley Benton - TE-90QM Trans Red

[@joshscott3271]

Nice, it's a bit of a turn on when you can access nice instruments without remortgaging your house... Many years ago, my first acoustic guitar was reclaimed from a trash can, and I loved it, and it loved me, and many times we embraced, and made love... 😂🌻💗🔥🙏

Facts

[@mrmister9113]

I had the guitar you found first but I trashed her because she cheated on me. So you basically had sloppy second "pickings" bro..... 🤣 or sloppy thirds. Get it, pickings?

[@adolfobetancourtsantos376]

Beautiful way to play a guitar. So smooth. I’ll be adding this guitar to my wishlist.

[@PeteAxeShields]

I can 100% vouch for this guitar. It is an astounding instrument ( especially considering the price point ) I have other guitars ( some far more expensive ) with P90 pickups and I have to say none sound any better than these. As Benedict says, perhaps it is the combination of woods and the semi hollow body which give it its unique sound ? .... All I know for sure is I love mine. It is another amazing guitar from Harley Benton, hugely versatile and so easy to play 🙏

[@AndrewAHayes]

What is the fretboard made from, he says Amaranth but the pop up text says Pau Ferro, what did you get on yours?

[@PeteAxeShields]

@@AndrewAHayes It's Amaranth Andrew, at least mine is and so is the one Benedict is playing here. I really like the look, feel and playability of Amaranth as a fretboard tone wood.

[@entropyembrace3844]

that waterfall harmonic lick was so delicious

[@KanariasLibre7]

That's the sound I was looking for!

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

P90s just rule :)

[@winterinmayofficial]

Incredible budget guitar! I love mine.

[@AlainChatignon]

Thank you Benedikt. this TE90 QM was my first Harley Benton

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Very cool! Glad you dig it :)

[@charlesjillson]

I have this in left hand. Can't miss with this, bad ass!!!

[@fivepiece]

I bought one in early 2023. Out of the box, the selector switch was faulty and the volume pot would cut the signal completely at random points when turning it up or down. Every string would bind in the nut when tuning; Every. Single. One. The pickups were decent, no noisier than any other P90s. If you buy this guitar, be sure to budget for a complete rewiring (including switch and pots) and replacing the nut. The neck and body on this model are excellent, fretwork is good, tuners and saddles are okay. The body is hollow and extremely light so you're going to have some neck dive. It's not too bad, though, unless your guitar strap is slippery over your shoulder. Aside from the wiring, pots, switch, and nut; I upgraded mine with graphite saddles, locking tuners, and MojoTone Quiet Coil 56 P90s (which turned out to be amazing pickups). NOW it's a great-sounding, great-playing axe.

Love the sound. Just ordered one along with a tweed case. Hope it makes the trip to the states safely.

[@prisonmike4971]

Harley Bentoj continues to put out higher quality guitars than some of the lower end fenders out there for a way better cost and no compromise on tonality

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Thanks Mike :)

[@Reeldin58]

I have the HB SC 450 P90 GT and it's a wonderful instrument. I have fallen in love with the sound of P90s. If Santa is watching this is on the top of my list.

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Very nice! P90s are just great :)

[@manuelgomez1768]

I received the red today and the Acoustic sound is sweet. It can use like silent guitar too.

[@dirtysanchez5360]

oof you got me with this one @harley benton had this guitar on my radar for 2 years now and with the video you just made me do an impulse purchase, cant wait until i can hold it in my hands!

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Hope you enjoy it! Glad we could make it easier for you :)

What kinda needle’s does one need to quilt maple? Should I start by knitting softer woods and work my way to maple?

[@AndrewAHayes]

You need a knitting machine, far too difficult to knit quilt maple by hand!

[@PooNinja]

@@AndrewAHayes makes sense, thanks … where do I find a loom big enough for a maple tree?

[@manuelgomez1768]

Somebody knows of what wood is the centre block?

[@joachimleinfelder1200]

Different infos about fretboard and neck woods (pau ferro/amaranth, mahogani/maple)...

[@Bassdriver71]

yes, i was about to write it...

[@prefono]

I've got the blue one with humbuckers. It's amazing, especially considering the price. Maybe the p 90 are even better for guitars like that. Anyway it's a great instrument!

[@AndrewAHayes]

You say its an Amaranth fretboard but the text says its Pau Ferro! so which one is correct?

[@davidbarlow431]

That fretboard looks way too dark to be pau ferro.

[@sanoj1969]

Looks stunning. ❤❤

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jurajcagan5874]

I can see misleading guitar parameters in the video, starting from 3:52 - Nut width 43mm (vs Thomann page 42mm) - Scale length 628mm (vs 648mm Thomann) - 24 frets (sorry, I can see just 22 :) )

[@andre.1984]

What was the last tune that you played?

[@jazzterboi1]

What is the weight like on these? I'm very interested in this model, but HB are known for very heavy guitars.

[@ryant3600]

they're known for being heavy? I own 7 of them and none of them are any heavier than their "counterparts". My heaviest is a Epi 60s standard les paul and it's 8.9, my LP custom is 8.7 pounds, my HB sc-550 plus is 8.1 oz. which is my lightest LP style guitar. My PRS HB copy is nearly half a pound lighter than the Prs.

[@Gulosa1976]

Cool

[@Bones1027Daley]

I have not bought a new guitar in 5 years. I think I’m grabbing this and the Dullahan with the roast maple next week!

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Great idea Clinton :)

The only "trans" thing I actually like...

[@arthurbrucecrawford6896]

Basically.... Teles and more teles...

[@ferfos8829]

Weight?

[@stewarttomkinson3356]

It would look better with black covers on the P 90

[@ymelfilm]

I read a review about it and now I can hear it: it does have a sound but the cleans are not so inspiring. Donnow why. Do these pup suck?

[@RaceForFadio]

[@hasinski]

Fine instrument, but there is that little extra nipple on the headstock. Without it, this Guitar was nearly perfect. The nipple 😁is the most unshapely thing on Tele-like guitars.

[@barbmelle3136]

From LeoM. Rub a simple carpenters file on the shape you don''t like and wipe the area down with a little varnish on a rag. You will have your perfect guitar!

[@jann_rygh]

nice - Saturation auf -20 oder was? wie sieht dann der Dude auf 0 aus? 😂 nooooo front

[@ymelfilm]

2:10 - do u know what u r talking about? 21 frets? Really? lol U just cannot pretend that you like this guitar. It s on ur face that "ok, just another guitar for today, got bored already"

[@Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward]

Why does everything need to be called trans by the way? Enough is enough. We've entertained foolery for quite some time.
