This HB could be VERY limited edition

[@MikeLute]

@@TheGuitarGeek and a very long wait until august - I hope Mr Benton made enough for all of us! BTW my Guitar Geek Socks arrived today. They are sooooo great or should I say big. Maybe I should build a fireplace and use them for X-mas ;-)

Gibson sues Thomann ~ that would be big!

[@davetbassbos]

You know that whole "Play Authentic" video could have been a clever plot to get people talking about Gibson again. It's spawned a couple of catch phrases that guitar people might not stop saying for a while, lol

[@PhilMoseleyMusic]

The Harley Benton definetly has a spankier tone to my ears. Not bad at all. Very nice and tidy inside the cavity!! Great video Andy!

[@raceface_m2579]

I am quite liking that bright sound it has. Definitely dig that color

[@Ramplcro]

Thanks for review. Good to know that it has good electronics so just a pickup swap is needed if you need different character. For us far away from Thomann can you tell us the string spacing and fretboard width on the nut and 12-th or other upper fret. Maybe Thomann in the future could put better descriptions. I'm sure there are others wanting to know. Personally for HB I would like to see 2 deluxe versions for doublecuts and singlecuts. Every one with ebony fretboard, correct string spacing and neck taper, stainless steel frets and better/lighter body woods. No super jumbo frets and bigger necks on traditionals. Super Jumbo frets and slimmer necks on moderns. They should do a great job at cutting the nut, fret ends and leveling the frets. High grid sandpaper sanding/filing and polishing can be done at home easily and should keep the costs down. Price 350-400-450 euros.

David F I have a HB on preorder and a set of Gibson P90’s waiting for it (pulled out of an LP classic that got Bareknuckle Pig90’s).

[@BudgetPedalChap]

The authenticity in this video is off the scale! I liked the sound of the HB on the video, it is always easier to tame a bright pickup than it is to coax clarity it out of a darker one I've found.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yup! Can’t add highs where they are not. I just love the bark of the Gibson. The HB was noticeably quieter in the room though

[@davidburke2132]

TheGuitarGeek To me the HB sounded really thin. The Gibson wasn’t lacking in treble in any way to my ears but it had a much more pleasing full frequency response, which is what a P90 is meant to sound like... P90s aren’t meant to be thin sounding like the HB did.

[@colinjwilliams6149]

[@rtsmudge7251]

Awesome video. I really enjoyed this one. I may one day be after a guitar with a P90. Mainly because I've never played one. That bit of softer playing later in the video makes me really like that Harley Benton. I bet it would be lovely for a bit of finger picking with a touch of fuzz.

[@RaúlCabezalí]

I liked the Gibson best of the three. Second, the Harley Benton. I can't afford the Gibson, so I'll go for the Harley Benton. Really looking forward to Thomann having them in stock.

[@Terry3Gs]

Nice job on that Andy sir !!

[@philiplyon938]

I was so impressed with the Harley Benton DC Junior as demoed in this video that I purchased one in satin aged cherry finish from Thomann. It was delivered within three working days to my home in England. I can honestly say that I have never in my life been so impressed with such a relatively cheap guitar. The fretwork (0.059" tall !!) is utterly flawless, the three piece body so well jointed it nearly impossible to see the joins even under a bright spotlamp ! It plays superbly well and sustains for ever - noticeably more so than my Les Paul Standard, SG and Jackson Soloist ! The only negative about the guitar was the pickup itself which was a little lacking in clarity dynamics and output. I modified a Tonerider Hot P-90 pickup to Dog Ear style by swapping the baseplate and fitting a Hosco Dog Ear cover in black. A 2mm thick 3D Printed shim raised it's height to optimum levels beneath the strings. With the new Tonerider Hot 90 pickup, 50's wiring and a 0.022uf Orange Drop capacitor this guitar is now utterly incredible and runs rings round 99% of guitars I have ever played - I have over 40 years of playing and setting up experience behind me. The dynamics and range of tones one can achieve just using vol and tone pots is incredible. The Harley Benton DC Junior (with my mods) is undoubtedly the most expressive fun instrument to play I have ever owned - I kid you not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: I like the Harley Benton. The headstock shape is great. I play through a Fender Twin so I have plenty of clean headroom to compensate for a slightly lower output pickup.

[@skeleton-key]

No tape on headstock - FAIL 😂

[@TomSzold]

[@guyfromnj]

Excellent analogy.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Cheers Carmen

[@sygis21]

Great video 👍🏻 could you describe the difference in sound between the Maybach and Gibson? Thank you very much and have a great day 😊

[@kebab_boi]

The Harley Benton has a relatively lower output that the Gibson, instead the Harley Benton has a crunchier tone and thinner sounding so you get slightly more of the high end spectrum. Where as the Gibson definitely sounds beefier and more sensitive to distortion (and thus has a higher output pickup), since it's beefier and thiccer, it definitely delivers slightly lower amount of high end. Both sound amazing though. I'd go with the Harley Benton though cuz of that beautiful TV Yellow finish (and ofc the sexy price tag lmao)

[@JohnDSmith-po4nu]

Have you even considered the choice of strings, as those might lead to more than just subtile variations sound wise? Also, some little tweaks on your amp would give you the sound you'd expect. And furthermore, in a band environment, in the mix so to say, you'd hardly notice whether the guitar player used this or that axe, right?

[@kebab_boi]

@@JohnDSmith-po4nu I 100% agree. Literally can be tweaked via the amp. Both sound so good though. I might go for the FAT version however, since it has a chunkier neck, as well as a stacked P90.

[@SidBonkers51]

Thanks for this video, I saw this guitar yesterday in another video but it wasnt reviewed it just said it would be released soon and I drooled over it, will be getting an order in soon before the Gibson lawsuit is lodged ;)

[@saschabeck117]

Hi, thanx for the interesting Video! What P90 would you build in the Harley Benton for a more angry Sound? I've got an 80s Tokai DC with a Schaller P90. Greetings

[@bobainsworth9571]

Recently got one of these. Highly recommended and at an unbelievable (low) price.

[@pastorkev777]

If you like the way the HB sounds unplugged, then you can always upgrade the pickup later.

[@akwamarsunzal]

Agreed... More anger, more anger! I tried the CST24 with P90s, great looking guitar, played really nicely BUT not enough anger! Seriously interested in this DC as a modding guitar. Definitely needs a different pup for that "pure" P90 bite and, of course, a mild relic to get rid of the WRONG TV Yellow colour! ;-) But is a nice guitar, nice price too!

[@gluteusmaximus1657]

Glossy, sticky neck - steel wool. Shorten the wire of the PU, get rid of the extra - gain tone. Raise or lower the PU screws - even out certain frequencies. It depends on the the set of strings you use. Greetings from Germany.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

“Angry little animal” is the perfect analogy for this instrument. Ditto goes for the rest.

[@Xaltar_]

That P90 in the HB can best be described as "wimpy", bright and thin. If you really want to keep cost down try out Vanson pickups, you can find them on Ebay and they cost pennies compared to the big brands. I picked up a set of PAF 57 Alnico II clones for less than 40 pounds and they sound fantastic, not even just for the money. They could be a bit more articulate but for that money I really can't complain, far better than any Epiphone pickups I have used and a pretty damn close approximation of the Gibson classic 57's I love so much.

[@ResoBridge]

I have just bought one of the Harley Benton DC P90s in blue. Initially I was very impressed, but .. after some tinkering around I have found some flaws. The holes for the attachment screws for the Wilkinson tuners have been drilled a little too large. If you try to check these screws for tightness they just spin in the holes. That isn't so bad and not hard to fix. The worst thing is that the drill seems to have wandered about a bit while drilling the hole for the bass side threaded insert for the bridge. The factory has attempted to shim the over size hole with something - card perhaps, but the insert is still so loose that, with the bridge post screwed in to it I can easily pull the whole thing out of the hole. There are often these nasty little hidden flaws on low cost guitars that you only find when you strip the guitar down and Thomann won't find them when they do their quality check. Often the factory has tried fixing them in a half arsed way, just to get the instrument out the door.

[@TheGuitarCollective]

Would love to get my hands on one of these! Just remember, Filmmakers... WORK WITH US.

[@graemegourley7616]

What's the nut width difference between them? And I agree, they need to do something about that pick up. It's just a bit thin and shrill. Needs some grunt.

It might be worth a few minutes and not much money to think about replacing the (likely ceramic) magnet on the Harley Benton with an alnico one. I did that on a P90 guitar I used to own, solved some tonal issues I'd had. Just a thought.

be a good experiment to put the gibson pickup in the harley benton, the tone might be in the better p90.

Good sustain, and harmonic-y overtones (I should be a wine critic!) on the HB.

Be honest I love HB sound best. Sparkling, nice bright sound. Gibby and Maybach has a dark sound ,powerful but a little bit humbucker side.

[@gusviera3905]

Well done. Make sure some Play Authentic maniac isn't at the front door...

[@dgt6583]

Just got one of these and straight out of the box its playable with a great neck and fretboard, though the pickup is way too far from the strings and needs shimming with foam and spacers, but sounds like it could be ok and get better when it's closer. Loadsa scope for mods with these, so I'll put a lightening bar wraparound on it too, as I never liked the badass bridge. I had a Gibson 58 custom shop TV DC for a long time, plus a 2009 white SC and there's no comparison with the finish ect, but this with mods will sound pretty close to both when I'm done with it.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

[@croc3862]

I like the harley benton more. When I think a single p90 guitar I expect a solid guitar for not a ton of money. Plus the harley benton just sounds better in my opinion, if it plays well I can just switch for a seymour duncan or handwound p90 from a small boutique builder

Andy, go for the Gibbo you know you want it. The 2019 DC with the jack socket on the front is being sold (off loaded) by many dealers for £599 with padded gigbag. If you convince yourself, time you've lashed out on a new pickup and gig bag there's not a lot difference in price.

[@soulagent79]

Don't buy a new pickup before you've tried to adjust the pole pieces on the stock one properly. Especially on P90s this often makes a huge difference.

[@ces69]

soulagent79 Lolla also do P90 spacers so you can raise the whole pickup!

[@nazarinebeats5521]

I don’t think that will make it beefy?

[@gluteusmaximus1657]

@@nazarinebeats5521 You might wonder how much 1 mm changes the tone. Take the cover and use it for getting the shape. Cut several spacers with different thickness. Your ears will smile :-)

[@k1sfd1974]

I'd go with the HB, personally. Seems to be a really nice guitar, and leaves you some headroom to mod it up and not break the bank... I'm actually quite impressed with the HB guitars so far. I'm looking forward to see how they hold up and if they hold their value well. I'd adjust the pickup height first, but I'm betting since it most likely has a ceramic magnet in it, you'll either have to replace the pickup or at the very least, the magnet. If you replace it with an Alnico (insert number of your choice here - I'd say a 3 or 4) it should give you what you want. It also might be a great way to show some channel subscribers how to do a fairly inexpensive upgrade. There are a few YT vids on people doing this, and for magnet selection DBG has a great vid where he literally just swapped in Alnico 1-5 magnets on the same EXACT P/U (not 5 pickup sets with different magnets, but the same set just swapped magnets). Listen with monitors or headphones on though. Just, maybe have a spare pickup around 'Just in Case'. Depending on the material used in the manufacture of the P/U you can either replace the bar magnet or individual poles. Just FYI, if it's a fiberboard bobbin that the coil is wound around then just get a new pickup... it's not worth it! Lol If your REALLY careful, you shouldn't have to worry about re-waxing it. Watching your other 'mod' vids, this should be fairly easy for you. Drop me a note if you have any questions! 😉✌🏼

[@croc3862]

It's an alnico 5 pickup according to thomman

[@k1sfd1974]

Hmmm... that's usually a fairly aggressive magnet for pickups (relatively speaking of course)... with the output being off from the others, I'd be curious what the resistance rating of the windings are. Actually measured though, not just 'spec'. I'm wondering if they use a more aggressive magnet and under-wind the copper to save money that way or maybe a smaller bar magnet? Could be the materials the bobbin is made of as well I guess, as well as how well they were potted. Meh... speculation gets us no where I guess, we will just have to wait and see what he does! 😏✌🏼

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Personally, I'd go with a modded HB.

[@oskarileikos]

A new pickup, electronics and tuners + maybe fret polish plus fret end filing = a great guitar

[@Fake_account_001]

You are not alone

[@dlux703]

Perhaps you could see if Epiphone makes one of these, and you could mod that if it's got the neck profile you like. Also, I have a modded Epiphone Junior with a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90, and a 'Twisted Tele' neck pickup, and the Phat Cat is super good.

[@Yohahn]

Gibbo sounds the best but you can probably swap the pickup in the benton to make it closer. 1: Gibbo 2: HB 3: Maybach

[@davidburke2132]

JoeyRockerTV Personally I would swap 2 and 3 from your list around (I think the HB sounds really too thin... not what a P90 is supposed to sound like) but I totally agree that the Gibson is the clear winner for sound. I also thought that the HB sounded pretty dodgy at times for intonation (and occasionally the Maybach too).

[@marcmistermarc]

I like your reviewing style. Lots of joined up thinking regarding upgrades on the HB... oh and you behave like an adult!

[@ithemba]

always loved that simple DC appeal but not enough to even consider dropping the kind of money that a gibson or maybach would set you back. was seriously tempted by the affordable slick version, which has a few bells and whistles more than the HB, but also clocks in probably more than the HB will. Now I am seriously tempted, even though I have just finished a complete overhaul of my Epiphone SG (with re-finish to a satin nitro, p90s and a bigsby) and this really would be in that kind of ballpark, too... Oh Harley Benton, you cruel tormentor of our daily GAS...

[@motorrebell]

One HUGE advantage the Harley benton has is the VOLUTE on the neck ! Im also not "Authentic" enough for a Gibson ( Loi ) , Thats why Harley Benton will be my next guitar ! :-D

[@ResoBridge]

The volute is incidental. The headstock is scarf jointed to the neck between the first and third fret so you have strong straight grain in the headstock and under the nut, not the weak cross grain you get in an 'authentic' one piece neck.

[@mishunny]

How unauthentic of you, Andy! (But seriously) You played and sounded way more comfortable with the Gibby one, and you seemed more enthusiastic about it than the HB. Although I don't like the look of the LP DC (doesn't have the classic look to me), seems to be your best choice (or getting a very limited edition would be cool)... But what do I know? Personally, I'd pick the HB over the Gibson one. Pickup can be swapped, or I can put some washers were the pickup cover meets the body (no adjustable PU on dog ears), and I like those "in the middle" size necks.
