Harley Benton TE-62CC LPB vs. TE-20MN BM - TELECASTER COMPARISON Sound
Comparison guitar Harley Benton TE-62CC LPB versus TE-20MN BM, sound only. Low budget guitar vs. lowest budget guitar. What you can not hear and see is how the playability or the feeling while playing is. In this case TE-62 is near perfect while TE-20 needs to spend some setup and modification before it is feels ok to play.
Both are not expensive, I would go again for TE-62.

Squier Sonic ESQUIRE H Lime Green Limited Edition 2024 - SLIMER GHOSTBUSTERS GUITAR
Переглядів 2 тис.14 днів тому
Not as good as expected from expierence with my ultraviolet Squier ESQUIRE. Pros: light weight guitar, with an black pickguard to me it looked at least better Cons: sharp fretboard edges, sharp frets, green paint on the maple neck, unpolished frets, on fender web site pictures lime green color looked way better then in person/real... it is more a muddy darker green and not a bright lime color, ...
Squier Telecaster Affinity HH Metallic Orange Limited Edition - BAD QUALITY GUITAR
Переглядів 331Місяць тому
Never had such a bad / worse quality guitar new out the box. Like most guitars they attached different QC checked stickers... :-) in this case a smiley sticker or whatever would have done the same job. Pros: none Cons: Neck without clear coat applied (should be gloss finish acc. spec.). The neck felt like a raw pice of wood, even not fine sanded. Was just waiting getting tiny wood pieces under ...

I would have loved to keep this limited vintage style telecaster guitar, but ended up sending it back. In total I tried 3x of the same guitar and one was worse then the other, unfortunatley. Pros: beautiful satin color (sand, blonde, butterscotch... you name it...), nice soft aged hardware, double black binding, feeling of the neck while playing, I really liked all pickup position sounds, very ...

Sometimes it just needs only 1 pickup to be happy with your guitar :-). It calls ESQUIRE but technically it is not one. The electronic is without the 3-way switch and the special wiring for the single coil pickup (1. bypassed tone, only volume / 2. volume and tone as standard / 3. only volume and capacitor to have a fixed rolled down tone) Pros: Well balanced on the strap, good light weight, ea...
Harley Benton SC-550 Deluxe Silver Burst - BEST VALUE FOR MONEY
Переглядів 4512 місяці тому
This is an Harley Benton SC-550 1 made in Vietnam. It was discontinued and replaced by the SC-550 2 made in Indonesia. Version 1 and version 2 are not similar at all. Differences: production location, slighly different body shape, fretboard material, frets, humbuckers I had both version and kept the SC-550 1. The feeling how it sound and play was better in my opinion. The manufacturing quality ...

This is like an new old stock guitar Harley Benton, I got it seconed hand and it is in nearly perfect unplayed condition. You might never heared about or seen this very rare Harley Benton L-600 PEARLOID (Pearl) Deluxe guitar model, cause it was limited and only for a short time around 2014 available and now it is discontinued. There was also an TE-60 Pearloid Telecaster version available. This ...
Harley Benton R-446 Green Metallic - 1 YEAR OLD GUITAR STRINGS
Переглядів 3093 місяці тому
This is one of my favourite Harley Benton guitars, 2 Humbucker passive (absolute silent in breaks), interessting 5-way switch sound options and a beautiful metallic colour. Perfect ergonomic, no neck dive, easy playability, great sounds. I guess the strings are more then 1 year old, but still ok to play for me :-) 00:00 - CLEAN Sounds 00:31 - DISTORTION Sounds - Rock 01:32 - DISTORTION Sounds -...
Harley Benton SC-450Plus GT - GOLD TOP LP GUITAR
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 місяці тому
Great looking and playable Les Paul Gold Top style guitar for more then 10 times less then GIBSON asking for. I got it as an B-stock and the only optical issue I found was under the pickguard, the screw was too long and scratched the paint under it. Thomann need to use shorter screws and this will be not happen in future. Everything else was great, out the bock good action setup and intonation,...

Переглядів 1,9 тис.4 місяці тому
We were not made to stay together :-), it is an interesting guitar, but something in the sound while playing as well in some way the look of the guitar was not made for me. Anyway the fixed bridge was great, no sharp edges and really comfortable to play. The black pickguard just looked cheap to me, would be the first part to replace. 00:00 - UNBOXING 00:52 - PICKUP READING kOHM 01:03 - VIEWs 02...

Do you think that the Thomann Plek Service Nut service would help to solve most of the problems you mentioned?
Should solve them and I expect that they have to give a warranty to this work. This service might cost the price of that guitar and consider that not all will have same issues.
Cool guitar . and that background music mannn .yo soo jazzed
Gojira but they decided to tune down
How much?😊
Check out Squier Fender web page for price detail :). Mine was around 170€
cant believe they discontinued it
Action is so high 💪
From this demo I have absolutely no idea how this pedal would sound while playing a lead. Just one monotonous low riff.
Nice. 😮
I bought mine CST24 T at HB 25th anniversary sales in August '23 for just 209 € instead of 279 €. It came with a real good setup out of the box, i just lowered the string action a bit more. I didn't like the Roswell PUs, imho they sound somewhat harsh or raw. So i changed them to a Tonerider Classic A4 at the bridge and a Humbucker sized Artec P90 at the Neck! Now i got that creamy sound i wanted. The playability is great, better than my Player Strat! Even the workmanship is at same level. HBs quality increased since they are made in Indonesia - maybe Cort factory?
When i weighed mine, it was 3,2 kg
Beautiful ❤
Thx
What amp u using?
For distortion engl powerball plugin and clean fender reverb plugin. No real amp, all digital :-)
I Didn't care for one I had either, great playing though
Maybe I just got bad luck with my one :)
@@fritzsguitars I just shot a video on the Squier debut telecaster. For the price across the pond it might not be a bad idea, for me to get it here in the U.S. it was only about $1 cheaper than the cheapest Tele.
I hate when they only release it in black colors.
dito
I bought the blue one for 110eur in the last 70th sale at thomann...For the price? I looove it... Actually these are also the first Rosewell pus i really enjoy playing....
Do you think this pedal would be good for tightening up a beta lead? It’s too loose and I can’t chug with it at all, maybe the bass cut on this pedal would help?
My tubescreamer does this, but I feel like it adds too many mids (can’t dial them out of the amp) and it changes the sound too much.
Hi, I m not sure, cause this crunchy sound is what most looking for at sunn beta lead. check out this test wit od808 ua-cam.com/video/6kZt7_cJxLs/v-deo.html . If you use odb-3 it might add further crunch/rust to it :)
Have you tried an EQ pedal in front, this will help to reduce the unwanted frequencys very well. Further, you could use it to crank the level and boost your amp. Something like a boss eq. I have tested this in this video... ua-cam.com/video/ibeDAH8HlIo/v-deo.htmlsi=k5bYtWRTAUwIlF6S or this EQ test might be better to hear the sound lowering 400 or 800hz the mid frequencys ua-cam.com/video/xUOJCgp02zk/v-deo.htmlsi=s4Zl_wsc1zCKymHj
What if you moved the upper trap button to the back? A lot of people do that to stop the neck dive on Explorer style guitars.
I tried it and fixed the strap with tape in different locations, did not worked well.
What are you doing with all of those HB after all?
All HB that for different reasons not matching my expectations I ending up to resale them. At the moment I have arround 10 left. :-) Also I have to sell ones, to have space for new ones... really difficult to make then a decision wich on should go
This is an overlooked sleeper pedal. The volume drop in You DIRty Rat mode is due to the fact the circuit uses genuine germanium components. TURbo mode uses LED clipping as you can tell from their illumination. VIN mode is your standard Rat. It even purports to sport the sought after LM308 chip ...all at a budget price - What's not to love!?
More spund options, less price... at least to try it before spending much more :)
Little Type o riff right there 😁🤨
Might be black number one or christian woman :) can not remember
harley benton is winning the market looks like
There are other good competitors too :-) at the moment I m trying different squire guitars.
HB sent me 2 instead of one. Yes, the QC isn't perfect. But with just a little work it is an great platform to modify. I added locking tuners that I had and added a VEGATREM tremolo and it sounds and plays amazingly. I take it on the road with me and it sounds fantastic. Don't expect out of the box perfection. But for the price and a little TLC you can do wonders with it.
Agree, if there is no fret buzz issue due to too high or low frets. Then it is easy to setup and a great deal.
Are you trying to piss us off on purpose? 😂 Why the hell would you boost out the highest mids possible?
this is to show the range of the eq section, not to satisfy every listener ;). there is a full video too, to find different sounds
Al parecer el cuerpo es más pequeña que la de Gibson explorer, será de tamaño similar a una Jackson Kelly?
I have no comparison to a jackson kelly so far, can not tell you.
way better than todays look, so sad they changed it
Thats true
Amazing playing. This model sounds great.
thx
beautiful guitar💚💚. great playing
Thx
Got mine at xmas just gone B-stock . Awesome guitar fir the price 👍🇬🇧
agree
I've got the Blood Red Metallic and threw a set of Nazgul/Sentients in it. That is a FUN guitar to play with a proper set-up! Never disappoints. 👍
I still play it often
Wonder if HB will go all the way and start putting “winged” fret markers on these?? 😂
not on these one, but they have done it already on R model
✔ .
thx
Looks great ..like the pick guard looks great I know you said its light weight do you know how much in lbs ? I saw a video on hear where a guy hooked a 3 way switch to it look like an easy mod and really changed it several tones and when he had the pickguard off it had a rout for a neck p/up well good work💯👍
Hi, the weight of the guitar is 7.3 lbs or 3.3 kg. Under the pickguard is a rout for a neck pickup too (size for an humbucker). 3 way switch with the special Esquire wiring for 1 pickup would be a nice add on, i like the idea to have a switch position to simulate a tone pot turned down.
Ere
Beautiful guitar. 😊
it is
great!
thx
do u have the sonic tele model?
Not sure what you mean, this is an squier sonic tele. or do you mean the version with neck pickup, this I do not have.
@@fritzsguitars It's not a Tele, it's an ESQUIRE. Check the headstock. Telecasters have two single coil pups and have TELECASTER on the headstock. There is no ESQUIRE version that has the two pups (unless you mod one) Yes they share a body shape, but they are not a Telecaster. The Esquire was the first electric made by Leo Fender. Telecasters came much later.
I do not see it strict, even on fender squier page the esquire is an subpoint under telecaster. same body and headstock shape, difference only as you mentioned right, 1 or 2 pickups. For a real Esquire I would expect the 3 way switch and the special wiring as well :). At the end all just names and does not matter much, It is my Esquire Telecaster and I like it.
Is IT good if i could downstroke this hole Thing?
Yes and No. The sound and look of the guitar was great, but it was not well balanced on the strap, neck heavey and for me it made it uncomfortable to play.
🤘🏻💪🏻🤘🏻💯🎸
Thx
how were the frets? I heard the fret work on the JA-20HHs were usually pretty poor
too high frets... the 3rd and the 4th causing noise
If its a guitar video, why the weird piano music?
It is a View demo :-), you will find links under the video for the sound videos
Nice sound!
Thank you!
How would you compare a 550 to a 450plus? is there a lot of difference in quality and feel?
550 series 1 beside the colors was quite equal to 450plus, only the neck on 550 1 was slimmer and without pickguard and no coil split option. 550 series 2 (today available) has different pickups and stainless steel frets. They sounding fatter compared to 450plus, but I still prefer 550 series 1 or the 450plus. The play feeling with this stainless steel frets is a little different, to me they feel bigger/higher.
@@fritzsguitars thank you very much
you are welcome
Is it the same type that Loathe's Guitarist using?
The guitar type Jazzmaster Baritone is similar, but they using Squier Baritone as I could see. This Harley Benton is the same scale lenght 30" and would do the job also good. Further they having in the Squier Jazzmaster Pickups, compared to P90s in the Harley Benton.
You're making it sound horrible 😅
Might be :-)
where is your st modern plus? .)
I am not sponsored by Thomann :-), also the price for me is too high, have to wait for seconed hand :-)... I think also that some of the fusions are still looking better
Reminds my cradle of filth
Nice, but still out of my hands :)
@@fritzsguitars will get thete. Keep it up man, and keep rocking!
thx
Is this guitar heavy?
Not heavy, around 3,5kg
Wait a minute - is that thing polyphonic?!!!!?
I would say no, better contact grobert effects for detail. Think the dry mix will make it sound like, at least more clear
Is your tuning drop c???
some riffs correct, drop c, the others standard d
3:10 How do you setup an amp to get such beautiful sound?
Amp plugin based on Fender DLX Reverb :), no real amp. Maybe a little digital delay on it.
This video says I should definitely buy this pedal today. thank you for this beautiful video
You are welcome! Thank you
