With a proper setup HB guitars are mind-blowing. Lovely instruments!

Good and honest review. Thank you Lemi. I have had my mind on buying this "Chuck Berry" guitar for the past 3 weeks and then all of a sudden the video guitar-reviews on KZbin ALL started to show this guitar! LOL I better buy one now before Thomann runs out of stock ! By the way, I just bought the Harley-Benton SC-450Plus LD Vintage Series (Lemon Drop Burst) and it is phenomenal ! Sounds great and looks even better in real life than in website pictures. I highly recommend it.

Hey Lem! The only criticism I have of your channel is that it’s giving me the itch to buy more guitars! That in itself is a compliment. Take it easy mate. See you on the next one 🫡
@lem4327 ай бұрын
Hi, my friend Thom Lol, don't fall into that trap 🤣 unless you have reasons to buy because you have a unique talent, and you have found your own voice on that beautiful strat. Unless like myself, you want to showcase guitars that might appeal to musicians looking for alternatives. Have a great weekend, buddy

That’s a beautiful guitar Lemuel! I love the semi hollow 335 style guitars. I only have one guitar like this and it’s a D’Angelico. A Premier DC. Great guitar!

my (very rich) mate's got an early 60s 335 that we compared with a HB copy with replaced nut and tuners that cost, with the upgrades, about 200 quid - the difference was comically small - both played and sounded great (but not comfortable for my undersized frame)

Hi Lemuel, thanks for the great guitar demo! I'd be interested in the pedals you use - it's pretty difficult to choose these days, there are so many of them! I prefer the slight overdrive rather than 'pure noise'! Cheers!

Hi redsky, Yes, I will very soon upload videos regarding the pedals and amps I use, and how I get the tones I like. Cheers for your feedback 👍

That's a pretty semi hollow....I couldn't afford a proper Gibson either so I bought the Inspired by Gibson Epipiphone 335 with the 50s thick neck...I love it but swapped the output jack...I like that yours is on the bottom side instead of the top like mine. I put flatwounds on mine and a bone nut. I also like that yours has the switch in the Les Paul position on the body...congrats on the new guitar!

I also had 2 gibson epiphone 335 which I regretted getting rid off, very good alternative to the gibson es335. Cheers 🍻 for your feedback 👍
@1man1guitarletsgo7 ай бұрын
The HB looks nice, but I think there are better options out there from other manufacturers. Also, in Back To The Future, the guitar Marty played in 1955 was actually a 1958 Gibson ES345. This is quite a well-known blooper, but of course it doesn't really detract from the story. I used to own an Ibanez AS73, which was excellent, but rather heavy. Then an Epiphone ES339, which was great, but rarely got used so I sold it.
@lem4327 ай бұрын
You're probably right ✅️ and yes I don't deny there are better alternatives out there 😉, but I base my opinions on guitars I have in my possession..but I always welcome other musicians' feedback. Cheers 🍻

The audio on this one was quite low level Lem, I had to use an audio booster on my laptop to hear you well. I was quite interested in this model when it came out but never got around to buying it, I see now that they have an improved model also, I might pull the trigger on one!

Sorry about that, Andrew. Are you sure 🤔 because I checked, and the levels are okay, my end, plus no one else has mentioned it to me from the comments, but having said that, I brought 2 mics, I will try them out on my next videos, please let me know if the levels improve 😀 Thanks for your feedback 👍
