This really cool, I’m starting to like Harley Benton. Personally they’re starting to feel a little bit like Schecter. For some people that might be a negative but I’m actually really cool with it.

[@eddyguizonde401]

i'm now 2 hb's in, an es-335 copy and a rickenbacker 4003 copy. neither tries to sound like the original and have their own personality, the fit and finish is good, playability is off the walls. setup and tuning stability on the es-335 are issues, but not so on the bass. honestly? a lefty bass and guitar for less than 400€, at that quality and playability? man, it's never been a greater time to start playing guitar. i remember 15 years ago when sub-300€ guitars were firewood. now, i've got a sub-200€ bass and guitar that despite their faults are solid beginner instruments out the box, and are well-built enough to be good mod platforms down the line. i'll be giving better tuners to the guitar, and straplocks and a humbucking bridge pickup to the bass. that's it.

Don't forget they're not custom shops or high end guitars, hb aimed for mid range and they are guitars that are made to be sold in high quantity. I love hb but you will not have the quality of a 1000€ guitar

First time you played that lead I was thinking "the lack of harmony here is a disgrace" haha Thanks for not leaving me hanging

[@אריק-צ5ר]

Picked up an Amarok 7 yesterday. It's a lot like the Schecter Reaper. The neck is a little thicker. It needed a set up right of the box. Most guitars and even high end guitars do. It was an easy set up and plays very well. Over all I am very happy with it.

[@kalebdavis8398]

I got a harley benton a couple weeks ago, and I got one of the products that slipped through the cracks a little. I did keep it in the end, despite its crooked bridge and fret buzz because I can have both of those things worked on. I think these guitars are great, but it was just my luck that I'd get one of the guitars that slipped past quality checks.

[@hypnoticninja11]

Could you do a video about how you write these riffs/small songs that you use in your guitar demo vids and the equipment you use?

[@cliffordpurk18]

All 3 sound amazing. You should do a video like this with the RG series of Ibanez

[@LuLeBe]

I got the 7string for 470€ as B-stock. It's really nice, the neck is a little bit thick for me (I also considered the Ibanez rga742), and the included B string seemed a bit thin for drop A tuning on that scale length. Got myself the skinny top heavy bottom strings for that. I actually like the clean tones, I'd call them "glassy" compared to my other guitars, a bit clearer and less warm but still pleasant.

[@rotaryrevivalist5095]

I wish they made these in a multiscale. As it is I may get the multiscale 7 BBB but I’d love the neck thru and the pick up set up from these so I don’t have to immediately go swap out the electronics.

[@eddardsnark1548]

I swear, every time I see one of this guy's videos, he's advertising for Harley Benton. Those guys got their claws in deep with a handful of youtubers.

Your demos are always on point and your chops showcase the potential of the gear..........spot on! I'm a big fan of your no frills methodd. Thanks brother!

[@JamieChorley]

Love the body shape on these even if that headstock is a real eye sore. I have one of the older fanned fret 7 string models and one of the fanned fret 8 strings. Honestly, they both arrived a bit of a mess. mega sharp uneven frets with loads of buzz all over the board, and nuts that were too tall for the strings to properly intonate on the first few frets. Seems like with Harley Benton, you have about a 50/50 chance of getting an absolute bargain or an utter lemon!

[@bertssuggests]

Hi Pete, another great video 🤘 Amarok-7 OR Cort KX507MS…… difficult choice

Some general recipe to get a pretty decent with well spec guitar: 1. US/UK/JPN specs (brand) 2. Overseas made (preferably Asia) 3. US/UK/JPN inspection and QC 4. Gonna be under 1000 USD and great built + specs Go ahead...

[@peteplaysmusic]

Amaroks are awesome guitars :)

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

@@peteplaysmusic easily. I'm definitely looking at the baritone one.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

I must agree on being annoyed by the short scale length of the 7 and the baritone. As the name suggests, the Paul Reed Smith 277 is a 27.7" scale, and that is perfect for me. Of course, I also love the Chapman 28" scale. That is the scale range where I would prefer to stay.

[@Mile_Zero]

Don't forget to do a follow-up with an opinion :)

[@RyanAmplification]

I have the green 7 string. It is bad ass. Absolutely awesome guitar with no flaws besides the ones that other KZbinrs are seeing. The cable pops out easily and the volume knob is a little too close to the body so it rubs. And, even though it took a month to get to the desert from Germany the neck was nearly perfect. It is. A little too straight for me and there is a tiny bit of string buzz but a tiny tweek will fix it.

[@drdoom8793]

The 6 looks amazing but the 7 could do with a slightly longer scale length. 26.5 seems to almost be the new standard for 7s these days.

[@LandsOfDespair]

I have to send back my 7, because low B is very hard to intonate, need to remove the spring, move saddle to max position, so you are right :\

[@e.g.systems6146]

HB are certainly getting a reputation as being very good bang for buck, and quality good enough to make other guitars at twice the price look expensive. I bought a pair of Ibanez a couple of years back which were a fair bit more expensive, and the setup was non-existant, so it took a couple of hours each to get them playing well. Keep up the good work Pete!

[@robertpurdy4452]

The guitars are really nice and Hunter is a gem. I love his channel. I surprises me not you two are friends. And...it does look strange when you're playing a six-string instead of the seven-string.

Hi, tell me please how is the intonation on BT and 6? Have you downtuned 6 and is intonation ok? I have Amarok-7, but low B string would not intonate unless I remove the spring and move saddle almost to an end. And also, I have a buzz in that saddle :\ Want instead to buy BT and Amarok-6. 25.5 scale for 7 strings is a bit meh.

At least you got yours mine came damaged and after 2 weeks of shocking customer service from thomann I was told I'd have to wait till August to get another cause they waited too long to sort it out and they went out of stock. I'll probably never own one now cause I won't be using thomann again which sucks cause the 5 mins I got to use it it felt great. Definitely a great step for Harley Benton, not so much thomann

I want a baritone one

[@kornfreak78]

Not gonna lie. I've honestly never heard of Harley Benton... but now that I have, it would seem that it's yet ANOTHER guitar I have to add to the list of guitars I might buy. I'm in the market to buy a guitar in the 600 to 800 dollar range (give or take) and I've been doing a ton of research over the last few months. I play mostly rock/metal and I'm just really indecisive as to what guitar I should buy. I've been eyeballing the Schecter C-1 Platinum, the Schecter Reaper 6, the Fender Player Strat HSS, the PRS SE Custom 24, the Solar A2.6, and NOW... the Amarok Harley Benton! I cannot for the life of me make up my mind on which one to go with. Would love feedback, suggestions, or just random advice that would help me make up my mind!

There is another guitar company that is a synonym for Sun which has 7 strings at the same price point - and recently a b-stock single cutaway through body maple neck with mahocany body and signature pickups was $449 USD...and the owner goes and checks the setups so people can basically play their guitars out of the box, more expensive suppliers like Kiesel/Carvin (every Kiesel unboxing the stupid thing is nearly always in tune even though they're shipping everywhere and into all climates).

Some might say that i am too much of a fanboy, but i doubt others might not have noticed this but ... the baritone and the regular six string's colors are basically an inverse take on Rabea's old ML3 models, the baritone has that smoke finish that his regular ML3 has and the crimson is the regular six string version of that ML3. I cannot be the only one seeing that, swear on me mum, haha!! Cheers!!

[@MrZardoz777]

Honestly I can't figure it out; there's a baritone and a 7-string but no option for trem or passive pickups? I'd buy one in a heartbeat but the idea that if the battery dies it no longer functions is a dealbreaker. I mean the days of 50-foot cables are long gone and amps or sims have as much gain as anyone could want, surely I can't be the only one . . .
