Harley Benton TE20 Telecaster Mod Project Ep5 New Home Playthrough

[@robertruamps5680]

Great sounding and playing, thanks to both of you !

[@theNextProject]

Robert, thanks for watching! I really enjoy hearing play-through samples like this. Daniel did a great job, and I enjoyed the variety of styles too. I wish I could play that well....another thing I need to work on, as wishing is getting me nowhere. Hope all is well, be safe and take care!

There is nothing better than to know the fruits of your work give joy to someone using this instrument you have build with your own hands. Your energy transforms the wood into a work of art. It amazes me every time again and again. This is what we are here for. 🙏

[@theNextProject]

Marty, thanks for watchin! Agreed, it is great to see and hear the instrument come alive. A good feeling. Be safe and take care!

[@olafall_sweden]

The guitar is not only good-looking, but sounds awesome too. Wow, well done.

[@theNextProject]

Thanks! Daniel, the new owner did a great job of offering the different sound and style samples. I greatly appreciate hearing a guitar played when its done, makes me feel good about all the work. Hope all is well, take care!

[@HECKLA_x_SCARSCLUB]

This was my fav guitar makeover on this channel! Glad to see it out in the wild

[@theNextProject]

Heckla, thanks for watching! Was a great project, and I'm glad it's in good hands now. Great hearing it sing. Be safe and take care!

Good to see a build getting some love.....👍

[@theNextProject]

wjewell, thanks for watching and good to hear from you! So true, my playing never does the guitars any favors, so I'm really glad it's in good hands. I hope Daniel enjoys it for years. Be safe and take care!

[@kmatax9237]

This was a real fun series to watch. Would love to see you do another project like this.

[@theNextProject]

kmatax, thanks for watching! Agreed, a great project, problems and all. The end result is what matters and I'm pretty happy with this one. Hope Daniel will love it for years. I have a lot of projects in line, plus some repair work - helps pay for the projects. I'll keep chipping away, stay tuned. Be safe and take care!

[@Markleford]

Nice to see it frolicking in the wild!

[@theNextProject]

Ah yes!

[@hueffel987]

Great to see and hear that this Beauty found a new home! @Daniel: Thanks for sharing! Have a nice weekend!

[@theNextProject]

Jens, thanks for watchin! +1 @Daniel: Thanks for sharing. I thinnk his video/audio capture is great, and he said is from an iPad. Crap, I need better gear!

[@TheRealChetManley]

Damn that guitar is sweet, nice playing by the new owner

[@theNextProject]

Mr. Manley, good to hear from you, and thanks for watching! I'm really thrilled by Daniel's playing an how well the guitar sounds. Makes me feel good.

[@Hans_914]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing this video. It is really neat to see the TE20 being used as intended. Stay Safe and enjoy your weekend.

[@theNextProject]

Hans, thanks for watching! Agreed, it's a great feeling for me to see and hear a project. My playing really doesn't do any project justice. Daniel is very humble about his playing, it all sounds really good to me, and I'm guessing in the room would be better yet. Thank you, and a safe and fun weekend to you too!

[@MonchkinLand]

Oooh it’s sounding good! What a job you did on that one 🤘

[@theNextProject]

point2five, thanks for watching! Yep, this was a wild ride of a project, a lot of fun, educational too. Glad it's in good hands now. Be safe and take care!

[@ranman58635]

Sounds amazing!

[@theNextProject]

Hey Man, good to hear from you! Yes, Daniel did a great job of grabbing some sound samples. I really appreciate hearing the guitar, actually being played, not whatever I do to it, LOL. I'm hoping he'll really find all the voices that guitar has to offer. The wiring was a learning curve for me, but enlightening as well. So many unique sounds, out of 2 pickups. Pretty cool!

[@paolo-1283]

Very cool man, when is your next project build?

[@theNextProject]

Paolo, good to hear from you! Ahhh, I have so many things lined up. Wrapping up 2 strat repairs this weekend, then back to the LP neck project. Probably after that is an Ibanez that is getting an Evertune put in it. Then there is a Squire strat mod project - no idea what I'll do with that one - yet. Have a Warmoth neck and body that need to be turned into a guitar. Probably a few other misfit toys in the closet. I need more time for this stuff, LOL, Hope you are doing well, have a great weekend!

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Nicejob... what clearcoat did you use after the stain ?

[@theNextProject]

Mr. Monster, thanks for watching! Directly over the stain is SimTech 28x50 polyester easy sanding sealer. That is then sanded thin and smooth, followed with automotive base coat/clear coat. I'm using PPG ShopLine products. Hope that helps. Be safe and take care!

[@kmichaelp4508]

Ooooooooh and the fruits of the work. Someday you can maybe make a career change, choice, that is satisfying and profitable. Hi Laura 😆❤️

[@theNextProject]

retirement.... sounds good! I'll tell the little lady you say hey! Hope all is well, have a great weekend!
