This is my Unboxing of the Harley Benton DC LTD GOTOH in a nice beautiful Daphne Blue color (i wrote DLX instead of LTD and Pelham Blue instead of Daphne Blue in the Video, sorry for that)!
Like always i don't do a conclusion (although you may guess it from the Video) but leave it up to you to decide wether it looks interesting to you or not. Let me know in the COMMENTS!

That Pelham blue looks way lighter than my SG Gotoh in Pelham blue!
Yes, its a "light" color.
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist I wish I could post a pic of my "SG" in Pelham blue.
THATS NOT PELHAM BLUE…
@@TheKamillosdanny Exact, that's why the title says "Daphne Blue" :-)
@@TheKamillosdanny Gibson makes several guitars in "Pelham Blue" and they're all different shades and level of metallic.
whats the difference between pelham and daphne? Looks like the exact same color to me.
This one is Daphne. Pelham is more dark. Cheers!
I am curious - how low was the action? I am considering the SG in Pelham blue and I like the action low with a straight neck (like 0.5 on the low E )
I set it up to a Neck Relief of 0,30-0,35mm 8th fret and 2,00mm Bass Side/1,5mm Treble Side on 12th fret.
Hi Boyan! I just received mine in late December. I set the neck almost straight and lowered the strings to around 1/16" both bass and treble side. But the biggest and most noticeable difference in playability was achieved when I cut the nut slots properly. Now the guitar plays as good as, if not better than, a couple of my Gibsons. I REALLY like this Harley Benton Deluxe Gotoh. I think it will probably become the guitar I play Punk Pop on the most! ...and it just looks great too! I have the Daphne blue, non-gloss finish. I had a hard time trying to decide between it and the Pelham Blue, but I did not want a sticky feeling gloss-coated neck, so I chose this one. I truly love the way the neck feels so smooth and does not get sticky on this one. For the money, I think you would be happy with one of these in ANY color. But I just wanted to mention that you may need to have the nut cut to get its playability up to its optimum. You may also need to steel wool the frets because they are a bit scratchy from the factory (just remember to frog-tape over your pickups first!). Also, you may want to relocate the strap button to the tip of the upper horn so that there's no neck dive. Otherwise, it will dive like a submarine every time you let go of the neck! lol! After doing these things, I'm happy with my purchase.
how is it u make it sound all metaly (im getting into gitaur so its prob a easy thing lol)
Thanks! It's easy: Distortion! You can find a lot of Videos how to dial in a (specific) Sound here on YT.
What u think of the body as far as tone ..the body wood they use I read it a crappy tone wood ..it similar to mahogany...
Its a mahagony kind of. Sounds great.
How is the overal rating? Considering a new SG style guitar, seems decent on paper-specs, but the tone seems to me quite modern warm, not that vintage punch bite for an SG, or am I wrong?
I liked the sound of it. What i didn't like and made me send it back was the heavy Neck Dive which i constantly needed to fight. Overall quality of the guitar was quite good.
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist Thank you for your kind feedback. I understand. Personally dont mind neck dive, that is fine, .... I am maybe struggling with their colors. I think SG needs some killer cool color, not sure the pastel blue/pink suits it :)
@@LookieChannel They are beautiful.
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist I agree, I have the DC Custom, and the neck dive is ridiculous. I have had to fit wheel weights to the controls cavity in the back of the guitar, in an attempt to counterbalance it, as several UA-cam vid's have suggested, but it still dives! I bought a wide strap, no different. My next job will be replacing the heavy Grover tuners, to a much lighter brand, probably Wilkinson 'Tulip' type. I think the main problem with mine is the Grover tuners, coupled with the fact that the neck on the DC Custom has 24 frets, so the neck is even longer (and therefore heavier!) than standard. This is a major design flaw that both Gibson and its multitude of copyists need to rectify.
@@YNGWIE998 So true 🙄
Thats not pelham blue but its nice i love harley benton
Right. I fixed it already in the description. Although Pelham Blue is a beautiful color also. Thanks for your comment!
Can you tell me how much it weighs?
Around 3kg
Hmm mine gets here Monday but it has a black pick guard?
You can switch them, the Gold one is included.
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist Awesome I had no idea! Thanks! Now I can't decide on which one to install lol.
@@alkyhauler8185 Do one each day 🤣
@@alkyhauler8185 🤣

That's not Pelham blue
That's why the title says Daphne Blue 🤗
