Brave decision mate. And yes, the HB CST made you great on KZbin, including the story behind it. Like we shared in the chat last Friday, get rid of the bass and the acoustic. 😂😂😂

[@murraymusic2633]

Lovely playing! I think you should sell one of the other guitars, The Yamaha Pacifica being the prime candidate for me. You can replace something like that at a later date, but you can never replace the 'emotional connection' you have with that Harley Benton. Well that's what I think...

[@jerrywalaszek2473]

Great show! The 1st episode I've watched was your story about that HB guitar and the selling of your PRS I believe. That story was just so right that I will never forget.I am reminded of the loss of my mother and how as time just keeps moving full speed ahead and sentimental material things that we hold on to change in meaning over time.How you told that story made me look at HB guitars in a different view, never did buy one but the way you used it,and played it beautifully I would not hesitate in looking if I were in the circumstance of wanting or needing one.Epiphone SG brings back the memory of one I had back in 1978-79 it was an early to middle 60s? 1 P.U. p90 working machine.I miss that guitar I paid $15.00 for and let it go for a bad trade.Thanks for your inspiration.

[@michaelsingley5641]

Wonderful solo towards the end John. Bit of everything in there. Hints of Thrill is Gone. Well done. I have a hard time parting with my guitars.

[@johnmac8084]

That was a fitting tribute to the guitar that you played John

[@ralphrounds709]

In the end, probably the right decision, but I did love that solo, and I recall that guitar fondly from when I first started watching you ( and playing guitar!)

[@philsequeira3180]

I was afraid that was the one that was going. I remember when you told the story of it. Haven’t seen it in a video in awhile so I guess it is the one to go but I do love it along with the story.

[@johnnyrandom100]

Thanks John, if I hadn't come across your channel all those Moons ago, today I would not have a CTS24 hardtail. She fights for top billing with my LTD EC256ld all the time. So she isn't going anywhere. I am sure your mother would have been proud of what you have achieved by buying a Harley Benton instead of a PRS.

[@kieranroberts9119]

Love the vinyl video when you playing at the start mate 👍

[@USTTRM]

I have the HB custom. It’s my favourite after a little work. Great show as always!

[@jeronimomartinezfabregas]

Lovely piece you played on the soon to part Cst-24, very "Santanesque", with a touch of Eddie Van Halen there at the end (what a combo)! I hope whoever becomes the new owner enjoys and takes good care of it.

[@jeffroq]

Great video John and a fine walk through of your thought process. When it's time to say "next" when moving something on it's gonna be a tough call.

[@lioncurlew]

I have a Epiphone Dot 335 in the Cherry Sunburst Red, made in Korea.

[@JBM_71]

You chose the guitar I predicted before I saw the entire video John and I think you have made the right choice. I am glad you still have some Hatley Benton guitars in your collection and that you continue to champion them, I love them, but you also deserve to have some, shall we say, more prestigious guitars in your collection as a testament to your great channel. As always, look forward to your future content. 😊

[@daziwg456]

I had a CST 24 in Green it was a fabulous guitar but like many HB guitars didn't fetch much when it moved on , should have kept it

[@jimmyjames2022]

A great, inspired send off for a sentimental favourite, so long SE Custom 24, oops, CST24!

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

I've got the Epi SG with P90s and it sounds wonderful. It is nicely different the feel of an SG, once you get used to it.

[@christoguichard4311]

SG's are the great "secret"! Wonderful guitars 😎🎸😁👍👍👍

[@twotone918]

Cheers for the video John, bet that HB flies out he door marah, great out jam love your channel by the way. Thanks.

[@ajaxman1000]

I find it hard to sell guitars - when I think back to the ones I have sold, they've gone and (now) so has the cash! Thank goodness that these days we can have good guitars for cheap money (I, like you, remember when we really couldn't) Re the SG, how about neck dive when you're standing and it's on a strap, John? My DC junior is fine across my knee but very head-heavy on the strap, I think it's because of the top button being behind the neck heel.

[@BrentAdams]

Tough decision! The only one that I didn't see being a part of your "Thought journey" was the Revstar, I think. But yes, if you don't don't have a good reason to keep a guitar hangin' on the wall ... and you don't grab it to play...then I think you've made the correct decision in your case. Good luck on the sale! (But I think you will be able to move it along pretty easily.)

[@berrykrautboy5368]

I was absolutely sure you would keep it... You're gonna have a lot of fun with this lady... And by the way: I have noticed you have been using your wireless system for quite a while. Would you recommend? From Germany with best regards

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Cheers mate. Yep, that's a great little wireless system. Never let me down yet 👍

[@joeydurant6267]

That sg is looking good on ya.

[@che2335]

Gotta have a LP and an SG.

[@davelewis4215]

John, I had a feeling that HB would be going along with the Glarry you also modified.

[@caseylee12]

Hey, sell me that pink paisley! Ahh, but I think you made the right choice. Great solo on that guitar, though... Bending like Gary Moore!

[@robertsguitarsandgear]

I sold my CST-24T. Similar thinking, it was a great guitar but just not my first choice for anything.

[@mikehurley5052]

Where do you sell it, ebay or?

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Well considered, not easy, I know. Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🎸✅

[@AlonzoWhite]

Loved it!! ❤❤

[@daviddalziel884]

Bye bye Harley ! Interesting thoughts on the SG . Big Zappa fan here but when I tried an SG was all over the place as it felt as though someone had moved the twelfth fret away over the rainbow !! Maybe try one again to give it the last chance !!

[@leftypick4854]

The brown one. Keep it.

[@zuperdee]

Such a poignant video about a practical, real world decision! That’s the thing about musical instruments: It’s not so much the materials or the craftsmanship, but the sentiments and the personal histories we invest in them that make them unique and special to US. Some people might look at these things and say “who cares, these are just material objects with X amount of value in materials and labor,” but those people have probably never seriously played an instrument! At the end of the day, a guitar is just an object made of wood and metal pieces, shaped by craftsmen, and while we can certainly debate the finer points of each one’s craftsmanship and how well one guitar plays versus another, each one has a sentimental value, and that sentimental value generally increases as the instrument is played more. If it’s any consolation, I happen to think you made the right decision with that last one-as you say, it’s not like there’s any actual piece of your mother in that guitar, and I know if it were MY mom and I were in your shoes, she’d most likely be very supportive and say, “that guitar has clearly served you well for that time, but now you’ve found ones that serve you even better, so I understand that it’s time to let this one go, but don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, I’m still going to watch you do even better things now!”

[@410142109]

Dear John my son wants to know if he can Peter Green his H.B Les Paul 450 model [The black pick up covered one] ?.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

It's a relatively simple mod to do, provided you know how to use a soldering iron. Here's a guide on how to do it: sixstringsupplies.co.uk/pages/les-paul-out-of-phase-peter-green-mod

[@adrian_V99]

I appreciate the mum's memento. Had same scenario re my late father. I sold it and used the money to buy another as a tribute to him. In fact, that's what he would have wanted having been a pragmatist.The feelings of the HB can be transmitted to another instrument. All good.

[@peterjohnson4932]

I'd keep the HB. Lose the Revstar.

[@sweettoof9002]

Me, I could never get along with SG’s. The neck feels too long or something. Plus I have a Les Paul and they cover the same ground sonically imo. That one is pretty.

[@sgtmac62]

Hmm. That guitar has a very unique signature. Unlike many others. But, I'd keep that over the anemic REVSTAR (return it). Besides, I can hear and see an attachment to it. Make no mistake. You'll regret it.

[@paulredrup6190]

Don't sell it John

[@ronnienose8608]

Does that mean the Revstar is going. Shame if that is the case.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

This video was made before the Revstar arrived 👍

[@sebjohnson5028]

@@JRobsonGuitar So you now have an even greater quandary! I am "in need" of an affordable HH and am deciding between that Epi, the Revstar and a Squier CV Tele deluxe.Look forward to hearing your views, at least on the first 2

[@brusselssprouts560]

And the Revstar?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

I didn't have that one when this video was made 👍

[@__Anton__]

I thought that the twist in this video was that you were going to sell the Bass John. No offence to any bass players. 😉

[@sajisguitar]

In nutshell, you aren't going to sell any of your guitars. It's advised to purchase a few more wall hanging brackets!!!

[@billsedge7360]

Sell the epiphone les Paul studio, to me 👍👍

[@JRobsonGuitar]

It left the building ages ago mate 👍

[@Martin7182]

Selling your most beautiful guitar 😕 Can I buy it?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

It's already gone, mate 👍

[@summerboy1958]

Sorry you have to sell, but someone will be getting a fine rig.

[@etc325]

First world problems! You are fortunate.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

The harder I work, the more fortunate I seem to be.

[@shanewalton8888]

Dude! You're mom's guitar is so much better than that Epiphone.

[@shanewalton8888]

Epiphone SGs are a dime a dozen and and are mediocre at best. . Sell the Epiphone.

[@andrewmuelleranantababaji8073]
