Cabin fever strikes! How is everyone?
Great playing!! and what a great thing you are doing giving away guitars to players who need one but can't afford one for one reason or another.
Awesome Sound
Bless you man. That's such a lovely thing to do.
Bless you back !
awesome setup. It's been awhile haven't been to your channel. I was actually looking it demos and reviews of the Harley Benton TE20 and that's when I came across again to your channel. As always, enjoyed it. Hope all is well with you. Keep safe and all the best!
Hey Vincent thanks so much hope you are well x

Bravo
Hey pardner, let's see your tele! Wow! You tore it up from the floor up! Yaaay!
lol yeah man these HBS are fantastic arnt they!
@@BrentHutchinson Yeah, did you check out Dan's first video from his travel trailer ( caravan to you) yesterday! That Harley Benton ST-62 DLX VW is awesome. ( belongs to me). I think It's the latest member of the Ryan family. It ain't going nowhere! Lol
Great video. Thank a lot for the setup tips. Ordered the red one with the maple neck. Love your playing , it shows we don,T need expensive guitars to have fun..... Wish you and your family all the best.
I have a tip also, sometimes it works ,sometimes it doesn,t. When your guitar is al setup and played for a bit, loosen the screws of the neck a little,
Half a turn and than really tighten them again, can help the sustain. Used it all the time and had good results on HB ST-62 and a Yamaha 311H
For what it,s worth😉🙂🎸👍🏼
Thanks glad it was helpful :)
Brent Hutchinson
Red one arrived today. Stunning quality for the Buck.Immaculate maple neck, no fretsprout!, nice bit beefy shape. Not too heavy🙂
Raised the action one turn,graphite on the nut( which i am going to replace with a tusq) and Tomorrow i play with the new amp from thomann, the 15 watt valve.and later on with the subzero 35 RVG.
Thank again for your time and honest reviews
@@ukulelehans1959 that's brilliant news enjoy my friend
That Axe sounds great! I think there's been a little xtra fire in your fingers lately!
Lol yeah cabin fever
Sounds like your wife has recovered, good stuff.
Yeah shes ok atm x
pretty good playing ! you can make that cheap guitar sing for sure. :)
Great jamming there dude, very Kirk Hammett!..I have a Harley Benton TE 20 love it, great guitar for £77
Amazing whatvyiu can get these days! Thanks for watching 🎸
Hi Brent. Thanks for all the useful tips about setups, modding, life, the universe & everything! The TE 20 is really good value. If you mod it, is the body thick enough to take full size pots, switch etc? Keep doing what you’re doing but look after yourself. The one thing we all have at the moment is time! Look forward to the all-day ‘drop-in centre’ soon. Cheers! 👍
Yes I beleive you could mod the hell out of it 🤪
We are doing well so far going on 4 weeks of self Isolating shack wacky has set in but you gotta just stay the course, stay inside, don't meet with other besides the ones in your direct household to flatten the curve!!!!
absolutely
Brent as Rock God 😛xx
Plrrrp! Lol
When your intonating a guitar, always remember the anagram "FGF". Which means if it's " flat go forward". And when I say forward I mean make the saddle go forward towards the nut. So number one, you're open string perfect pitch in tune. Number two, check the twelfth fret. Number three, if it's flat go forward towards the nut. If it's sharp go the other way. Remember "FGF".
Excellent thank you I can never remember now I'll never forget ... luvs ya baby!
@@BrentHutchinson you too brother. Try not to get too much Cabin Fever.
@@mark5150ty too late xx
That string break, I feel ye man!
Great playing 🙂👍🏻
I wonder, do you get guitars where the strings kinda not match the poles?
It sometimes makes me annoyed seeing things not in line.
Lol yeah happens all time... yeah I do but dies not effect the sound much if at all... just looks shit
@@BrentHutchinson I can agree with you there. I have it with a Harley Benton I got a few weeks ago. It really plays well and I think the guitar is cool.. Tho for the price I'll let the issue with the poles and the strings slide, but do look in to solutions.
I also changed something from the three way switch, I guess the guitar becomes more mine when I do something with it. Since most of my guitars have been projects for something. :)
@@Newwaver2007 yeah it means a lot more when you build em and mod em.. I have a connection with my babies for sure.
@@BrentHutchinson I recently realigned my pickups and they actually look good now :)
Tho on the HB the strings seem to be a little bit narrower than usually put together, which makes the pole pieces a little bit difficult to align, but the way I fixed it today kinda makes me feel very content. It doesn't look bad anymore.
Happy Easter and a good day to you, Brent.
May I ask how you did cover the fretboard on that beautyful semi accoustic? I am asking because I plan to give my old Epiphone LesPaul Special (my first love) a new coat and building an HB ST style kit too.
Thanks in advance. Stay healthy these days.
Greetings from Germany.
Hi ya I used painters masking tape.. and greetings from the UK. Hope you are fit and healthy. I would love to see your guitars when they are done
@@BrentHutchinson OK, but it looked so smooth applied so I was a bit confused about it. I would like to show you my guitars with pleasure when they are done. I have allready given my old Crate GX15R (it was bundled with that Epiphone) a new front cover. Not perfect but I like it very much.
Yeah, we are still healthy and fine, thank you.
Cheers for those setup tips & I've just had an email from Thomann to say my guitar has left their warehouse this afternoon :-)
PS: See ya later if ya streaming..
My pleasure x
@@BrentHutchinson: I've been teaching myself how to set my guitars up by watching the many different guy's that have shown how they do it on UA-cam but there are many different opinions & the order in which they should be done, being an ex-mechanic it's novel to find a use for my feeler gauges after all these years but I like you card trick as it's real hard to get the feeler gauges to stay where you need them.
Setting the action for personal taste is the other thing that gets explained in overly complicated ways but yours is straightforward & works so cheers again :-)
@@CaptainScarlet1961 yeah man that's the thing it is a personal thing. I find the credit card is just about perfect and you can bend it the the right shape.
@@BrentHutchinson: Yeah' exactly right & I have to do my own set-ups now because I have too many to get done by a tech, I have 16 guitars now so I could actually buy a decent guitar with the money all the set-ups would cost lol
@@CaptainScarlet1961 nice collection though ..such fun
Hello Brent, will you be getting and reviewing the new CST24 Harley Benton kit (PRS style) when it becomes available?
Oh I didnt know that was a thing... but yes I will :)
@@BrentHutchinson they are available, please get one.
Can you use lemon oil on a maple neck?
it's not the choice many would use. I have seen it done though
If the neck is straight then that's all good!
I'm forever shaving nuts... 🤭
That is the copy of my beloved Fender i had to sell about 40 years ago. I do still love her. The HB sounds good in your hands too. And you've the right card, some cards nowadays are too thick to be bend slightly over the neck. So take care of a fitting one, you hard handed man. Realy, you've broke a string by setting up LOL. (Sorry, that must be said ;-)). Btw, you look pretty stressed, take care of yourelf and use a calender to structure your days and pauses. Ahh, you do know that all, i know. But my world is gettinger smaller every day too and someone has to take care of you. Or maybe it was the light that made your face look so grey and i am wrong...... To come to an end, CU tomorrow son 🖖☮️
You are not wrong I cant sleep. I'm sure I'll be ok x see you in the club.
@@BrentHutchinson there are some nice homeopathic preparations. all natural and very helpful. they will punch you into sleep. And by the way: are you Dr. Cox son ?
if Yamaha would make a Pacifica TELECASTER, I would buy it, BUT Im sooooo happy with my five Pac 112Vs! my strings are Dads: 009- 0115-015- 022-032/030-042, tuned E to e, a whole octave down, about Daddario .042W E: could be slightly more tight but I got it right, WONDERFUL strings, Daddario, take care of your strings: Dunlop 65 Ultraglide with Fender Speed slick, put a cloth under the strings and you might polish the frets as well..., I USE the substance of blue Dunlop to Fender speed slick , cuz the speed slick covers my six stringers quite perfect..., lov from K : )
