    Fantastic looking and sounding guitar, i have a Cort KX16 with EMG Retro active pickups which sound great.
    Harley Benton make some superb guitars capable of taking on the big brands at more affordable prices.
    Another one for my wishlist, Hope you are keeping safe and well Jonathan.

      Not a problem. I haven't played it yet. I will sit down tonight and figure out tuning. The guitar is beautiful, and lighter than I expected.
      My HB35 will have to wait...👍🏁

    WOW...so glad I found this video. Never saw you with a baritone. That's a pretty guitar ! Love the finish. Curious how heavy it was ? I recently purchased a Squire Classic Vibe Custom Baritone..Great custom purple sparkle finish..still taking a while to get used to heavier strings. 0.14-0.68. Thing I like the most are the various drop tunings. Standard of course is BEADF#B. - AEADF#B. - AEADEA (DADGAD equivalent). - GDADEA. - ADGCEA

    You rock the Amarock mate, nice!!!!
    I’ve only been playing 2 years (46) and never knew there was such a thing as a baritone guitar.
    Firstly the guitar looks stunning, if I was buying just on looks I’d have an order for one right now!
    I’m more a bluesy player so I’m wondering what I’d use this guitar for, the active pickups sound great and those heavy tones get right in your soul (I love the bass guitar for that reason).
    Is this guitar just a metal guitar or could I get some nice tones for other genres?
    Great video as ever, I love your channel 😁🎸

    @knowitall1694 4 роки тому +1

    The Harley Benton guitars made in Indonesia are really good instruments. Many US manufacturers have their mid-priced guitars manufactured in the same factory. But don't tell anyone. I just wished Thomann would make an alder version of the Fusion II. Perhaps call it Fusion III?
