Terrorcaster - Harley Benton TE 20HH SBK mod project

#harleybenton #telecaster #blackmetal
I bought a Harley Benton TE20HH SBK as a mod platform to use exclusively in extreme metal so I left there the bare minimum in form of electronics, plus dropped a bit of time and parts into it:
Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winters
Harley Benton locking tuners
Complete shielding
Musiclily one layer pickguard (had to be adapted)
Complete setup and intonation
The body itself was pretty solid, frets were flawless and a cople spots on the paint here and there got me a discount from Thomann, which is nice.

This is the exact project I had in mind and then I found your video. Even have a Black Winter just waiting in a box to be activated!! Picking up this exact guitar on Monday 2nd hand.

Awesome! How did it go?

[@stevetemple8826]

Gotta love that name " Terrorcaster".

[@FrankSlattery]

I also like to play "thanks for the $100 body." Great job modding that HB!

[@dylanlovell]

Awesome job 🤘i have the exact same guitar and i want to upgrade some bits...what tuners did you swap yours out for?🤘🤘

[@_-Unity-_]

Looks sick my man. Im going to buy one soon and had plans to do the same upgrades. Thanks for the vid

[@MoreanMan]

Thanks friend! I'm glad it was useful! One month later gotta say this guitar definitely slays. Go for it.

[@_-Unity-_]

@@MoreanMan what size pot did you use? 250k or 500k?

[@_-Unity-_]

@@MoreanMan also what steps did u have to go through to get a discount for the paint flaws?

[@MoreanMan]

@@_-Unity-_ I reused the 250 one that came with the guitar, though I got some 500s and will swap it when I have time. 250 sounds fine though...

[@MoreanMan]

@@_-Unity-_ I just messaged support and sent pictures proving the flaws, they were swift about it haha

[@glogang3233]

My only gripe with this guitar is the pickguard. What did you replace it with?

[@mixingmasteringservice1955]

Awesome design !!!

[@otherc]

Great Job man. What is the guitar strap showed in the thumbnail

[@MoreanMan]

Thanks dude! It's a Dunlop I Love Dust.

[@paulmccabe2966]

Superb...

[@MoreanMan]

Thanks!

[@ManMark7]

looks cool man!

[@MoreanMan]

Thanks! 😄

[@EstidwarSerrano]

Great.

[@petrucci973]

I just modded the bridge pickup with rail hammer anvil pickups but surely considering doing the same thing as you did.. looks super badass!

[@MoreanMan]

Thanks dude!

[@hxrp988]

do you think this guitar can handle lower tunings with locking tuners like A standard

[@MoreanMan]

Honestly, this specific one I don't know. I have an LTD with this same scale tuned to A# (6 strings but moved all the strings up and added a 7th) and it works and sounds fine but kinda feels at it's limit.

[@rokku87]

How does the neck profile feel? I really enjoy slightly thinner strat style necks. You think I might be unhappy?

Garry's Mod: Harley Benton

[@mixmixture7049]

Pickup more expensive than the guitar😂

[@FeedbackEater]

I take pride in doing stupid things

[@jennaleigh-raine]

If I send you mine can u do all that to mine Sam's guitar

[@FeedbackEater]

We are probably very far from each other but hey why not

[@robertayers1804]

What a way to fuck up that guitar. One pickup, one sound? Fucked Up. Keep it original dude.

[@MoreanMan]

Lol on the contrary. When you know exactly what you want you are not fucking anything up ;)

[@Erock-bs9ur]

Fucked up? It's a $95 guitar.
