This is the only video where I've seen someone demo the GFS Surf 90 using overdrive/distortion/fuzz. How well does it take pedals?

Great video and playing

is it just the amp or is a pedal also used?

Good playing brother, I really like the sound I might be looking to get this pickup and the video helped alot.

Hi Jerad, how are you doing? Do you play some improvisation in the clean parts or was it some 70's or 90's specific tones of your musical influences? Nice black LP and congratulations from Brazil! See you!

Nice video! I purchased a Surf 90 in 2013 but still haven't installed it on my Blacktop Jazzmaster due to priorities. But I'm getting back into it, and your videos have been the best for letting me know the kind of sounds I'd get!

Very nice! I'm also interested in putting the SD and the 36th anni in my HB SC Custom. I'm wondering if you put regular or F-spaced pickups in the guitar? Cheers!

I love my Legacy, but it weighs 10 lbs.

Ltd ec256? Great riffin' dude!

hell yea! PAF style humbuckers have always done me damn good with metal

DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups are classic!

Sounds great man! Best Mean 90 demo that I could find for crunch/heavy tones. Well done!

Nice honest review from a dude who obviously played the shit out of this thing and knows its ins and outs. It's really helped me make my buying decision.

At the end of the day, it only costs just over £200. What do you expect? You ain't gonna get Gibson quality components at that price. It's a workhorse, it's a Ford, not a Rolls Royce.

Hey buddy! Cool video. I want to ask you for one favor. Please, measure the neck, if possible. Neck thickness at 1 and 12 frets. I was thrilled by your remark about the thick neck.

Just did this to the exact same guitar, adjusting the action and lowering the pickups it's night and day compared to factory setup Fucking thanks!

SG's dont sound dark and they're mahogany. But there is mahogany and then there is mahogany. And the weight will affect the tone. That's a pretty weighty guitar. Try gigging two hrs with that around your neck. You can't expect a Gibson or Epiphone tone out of these. I'd change those pickups.

One of the most passionate informative and introspective guitar reviews I've ever seen brotha!

What value volume pots did you use for the surf 90?

Buckethead! Gets a sub!

No guitar will remain in "pristine" condition if you play it moderate hard anyway. That's is what is called natural ware, which is unavoidable. In other words, good guitars are meant to be played a lot and hard..., so your point in this regard is worthless.

Already have a G&L Fallout, looks like I’m getting one of these. Great review, they are very different to others but that’s what makes them so good.

Thank you dude. Nice video keep going. To be honest i bought this guitar 3 days ago , and now i saw your video. I am totally agree with you , the guitar is awesome for 170 euros that i paid. Comparing the roswell pickups with my emg 707 at my ibanez rgix27feqm , I can hear the difference the is no so big output there , for example when i am trying to record i volume down the backing track around 35-40% so i can hear the roswell pickups but with emg 707 not even 25%. The comparision is about 170 euros guitar vs 1200. So well done harley benton, you cant find better guitar at this price range from other companies. Just change the pickups and you gonna have a guitar at 400-600 price range . Personally i am thinking to replace them with emg passive .

Not enough distortion.

I've been looking into this or a strat, so thanks for this vid! I played bass for 20 yrs before I ever bought a guitar, picked up an SG a few yrs back because the 12" radius felt more natural to me as a bass player... this has been very helpful, G & L for me.

Gibsons are 12 inch radius.

I dig the aging on the hardware.

what is amp you use?

+1 thumb up for the sounds and the husky dog pic! ;-) .... I'm researching this pickup (and others from Guitar Fetish ... I already have two of their bigsby-ish vibrato tailpieces and they are great quality ~ the same Bigsby (not licensed) would be like $280 CAD

Bruh, where do you get your tabs . . .

Buckethead ;-)

Thanks for the review. Been thinking of purchasing as a first electric guitar for my son (and me 😉). He wants and Ibanez for whatever reason but I think there is value and flexibility in a G&L at the same price point (but I’m no expert).

Great video!!! It made me plug in my Ditto Looper !!

Just keep playing! I've the same pickups and know what you mean. Excellent demo and tasty playing!!!

thanks for this, defo buying one of these now!

Hey check out Royal Blood, bit different to the Meat Puppets

Great deal on that man, sounds great! I wanted a G&L, but was too expensive. I was able to score a Tagima T-635 for 169 bucks before their price went up to around $300 to 350. Much better than any of my affinitys ive had...its even vintage white with mint green pickgaurd! I love the mint green as well. Great score man,thanks for sharing. Be safe.

Great job man, thank you! Would have took you for the floyd rose 1000 type...stereotypes are a bitch. Im bald and bearded, with a permanent resting bitch face! I love mine! Be safe man, great job!

Great video. I noticed there are two other versions of this guitar: One with P90 pickups and another less expensive one with a basswood body , instead of mahogany. Any recommendations? Really love the killer looks but can´t decide between the three.

This video is super useful. Thank you so much sir

why so few subscribers? Besides the lightning and other visual stuff, that was a great review. Showed everything, played the guitar nicely, pros, cons, honest words. Just a great video.

love your hair dude which mine was like that.

Hey I also like the Meat Puppets... I can't recommend much stuff maybe you already know Big Star's albums... I record music myself and some of it is influenced by the Meat Puppets and surf rock stuff. My album is called "Through the Cobwebs" and a song you might like is "In the Lounge"

Cool guitar. I can't decide this or the doheny or a jaguar... I like the sea foam and blue colors

Hey nice review. You hit on all the points that matter. Didn't oversell it but presented the positives really well. And honest about other aspects. Thanks. Do some more videos!

I never comment on youtube but i just felt the need to sign in.You play so much better than all the other videos that do reviews of guitars and play random boring stuff. Really like your tone maybe because i like more dark stuff. Either way thank you for this videos. I play acoustic and i am searching for a first electric. I love the esp 1000 but will never have it on that price. So i was hopping to find the best value at around 200$ and most people say that HB has guitars that are better quality that other brands on same price so...les hope so.

I recently bought an SC500WH which is a gorgeous guitar. I swapped out the pickups, had the electronics redone, and upgraded the tuning pegs. It's a solid guitar and plays great but due to the dry winter weather here in Minnesota it's developed a bit of fret sprout that I'm thinking will resolve itself as the weather warms and the humidity starts rising. I tried to fix sprout on a guitar once and as soon as it hot humid the frets started popping up all over the place so I don't recommend fixing fret sprout when the wood is shrunk up due to a dry weather environment. Otherwise these are really nice guitars at any price.

Thanks for honest review.Most other reviews I've seen on these guitars usually lean super positive or super negative depending on if they are compensated endorsers. Anyways I have the same model guitar for around 6 months and it has held up nicely. These Harley Benton guitars are a tremendous value. As far as having to swap out pickups etc... that happens in guitars of every price point. Anyways great review, keep up the good work. Fellow Texan by the way. Rock On
