- How good is the Harley Benton HB-20R amp? and the Harley Benton SC 450 CB Les Paul classic series guitar?
After one year of ownership this is my assessment.
They are both brilliant at a knockdown price.

Hi mate, hope you're doing well and keeping safe in these Covid-19 times. This guitar and amp sound great even after a year of ownership. And you've maintained it very well. I've been playing my guitar on and off, but not as much as I would like to. Looks like you got into video games for a bit. Stay safe my friend! 👍😷🎸🎼
Hi Anthony, yeah the guitar and amp are in great shape and get played often. I'm working on some new guitar lessons just now.
I've been doing a bit of gaming with my kids and grandkids during the lockdown.
I'd forgotten how much fun gaming can be.
If you get a minute and you want a giggle.
Check out the bunker 11 glitch video. We were cracking up laughing.
Stay safe mate 👍😋
Great demo of a Beautiful guitar and awesome sounds for a great price! Do you think this guitar will be ok for the 11-48 string guage?
Hi Nirmal and thank you for your warm comments. Yep 11-48 strings will work fine on this guitar and you will have a decent level of string bending with this gauge and a rich tone 🎶🎸👍🏼
@@molometer Thanks a lot Mr. Molometer. Much appreciated.
i am from Germany and ordered this one from thomann after watchng ur video
It is an amazing guitar and I'm very impressed with it. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Thomann are doing something wonderful with these very affordable instruments. Let me know your impressions when it arrives.
its great but i feel its a little heavy
@@majorminorexpressions4491 It's the solid body that makes it feel heavy. If you want to play it standing upright then a wide guitar strap would be very useful. 🎼🎶🎸👍
@@molometer actually i compared it with my other harley benton hwy bk25 progressive series... But I have been playng my new lespaul for an hour with strap it is ok 😊
@@majorminorexpressions4491 That's good to hear. I find it just perfectly weighted for my needs. It sits nice on the leg when playing sitting down too.
Standing up, it's body weight means you don't get any of that neck diving which is also very reassuring. 🎼🎶🎸👍
Nice review, i’m a beginner and i’ve just ordered the Gold Top LP Harley Benson, i was going to buy the Vox Pathfinder 10 amp to go with it, now i’m wondering if i’d be better off buying this Harley amp, sounds really good.
Hi Toddy, the Gold Top LP is a stunning looking guitar. Nice choice. I'm not familiar with the pathfinder amp? The hb-20r amp is truly amazing. That 20 watt 8" speaker pumps out a lot of volume. I usually just have the volume set to 5 which is plenty loud.
With the volume set to 10 it'd blow the windows out!
😂🎵🎶🎸😂😂👍
@@molometer You’ve talked me into it 😂 i’m going to order it, thanks.
@@toddy505 Happy holidays and have fun with your new amp...rock on 🎸🎵🎶👏👍
@@molometer And the same to you pal 👍
Pleased to hear your still enjoying the SC 450 classic.
Hi Kim and thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment. I'm very happy with the SC 450 CB. I'm impressed with the quality. How are you getting along with your version of the guitar? 👍
@@molometer Well I'm not sleeping with it anymore but still in love with my SC 450 plus LD Also treated myself to a s/h Gould Stratocaster style , which was on Gumtree for a song. Hope you make some more guitar vids. I see you are enthused with that war game at the moment. Take care, good health & happiness. Kim
@@TheKimgower Haha glad to hear that you are over sleeping with your SC 450 the mind boggles! The Gould Strat sounds like a good guitar from what I hear.
I will be definitely making more guitar videos but my gear is all over the place as we are in between houses at the moment so my upload schedule is messed up.
The gaming videos gives me the opportunity to play online with our grandkids while the lockdown is still on/off/on/off? and I just figured if I'm playing the game I might as well just edit and upload the best bits. People seem to like them.
Look after yourself Kim during this corona crisis and don't listen to Boris. the guy is an idiot. Stay safe and well and we will get through this time.
Hi, Thank you for nice video. and I considering buying SC 450. so I wanna question,
Is it happen to neck dive while you're standing and playing?
?
I worried about it weight, because it low price...
Hi Carlos, like all Les Paul type guitars it has a solid body and the balance is leaning towards the body side of the guitar so there is no neck diving.
Get yourself a wide guitar strap to spread the load on your shoulders if you are going to be playing on stage for hours. 👍🎸😋
@@molometer That's awesome! Thank you so much! 👍😊
@@Carlos-zq2hi my pleasure Carlos, have fun 🎸👍
Im torn between this and a Marshall G15. Any suggestions?
Hi Ali, I'm not familiar with the Marshall G15?
But I'm very familiar with Marshall amps in general and they are pretty legendary.
The HB20-R is a brilliant amp. Great for a range of playing situations.
I guess you have listen to both amps back to back and then pick the one you like the sound of?
So how is the meck on thos one? Some say fat others slim And c shaped as described in the Harley Benton site doesnt give much info
Hi there, it's a C shaped neck and very comfortable to play. It's not a fat neck. It plays very easily. 🎸👍
Can you remove the scratch plate on this model easily
Hi Ben, yes you can. It's attached with just a couple of screws.😋👍
What's wrong with the mic volume? I have the volume to the max and I can barely hear you speak...
It sounds fine to me? Even on half volume. Maybe there is a problem with your speaker or ear phones?
What are you using?
@@molometer My new laptop's speakers. And there's no problem with the speakers, I tested them.
@@spawnthecrazy Sorry to hear you are having sound issues but it sounds fine to me. Have you tried watching the video on your phone?
@@molometer Yeah, I haven't had any issues. But in that video I can barely hear you, it's puzzling.
@@spawnthecrazy Very odd for sure. Hope you get it sorted.
Just curious. Is the laptop running Windows 10?
