One of the best reviewers out there! The cozy atmosphere is just great! Underrated content here!!
A good guitar, a good amp (sim), a good dog, and a good woman to switch the cameras. Life can't get much better.
The way Henning says "SUNGKAI!" always gets me. Great video, by the way!
Bruno is just to hyper he needs a outdoor adventure channel all his own.
Studio Bruno?
Came for the guitar, stayed for that cute dog!
You are the reason I own 7 HB's with 2 more on the way and at least 4 or 5 on the wish list. Love your unique melodic style on the produced parts with just enough realistic sloppiness to know it's not a robot who can play every scale backwards and forwards. Just cool runs, inspiring fills and a tasteful use of effects and tricks. Honest reviews and funny dialog. Keep on keepin' on!
Thank you for your presentation Henning, I have the Blue Blast version. An excellent guitar
Mine will arrive in two days, I can't wait! Great song Henning!
It has to be called studio Bruno now after this! Also awesome guitar I really like the look. I remember the previous version you reviewed a while back and was really tempted to get one, I may actually get this sandblasted version soon. Also Im one of those people who really likes filtertrons I love the open and airy sound of them.
I found your channel and H-B guitars about two years ago. I now own 5. Frankly, I'm getting to the point I'm gonna need to send them even more money cuz that mighty 15th amp just sounds freaking killer.
The intro track was the best instrumental I have heard in years..love it!! I just sent off for this guitar as it is on offer for £94. I found out it was that price from your most recent video on the Thomann 70% Anniversary deals. You said it was a no brainer for the price and I trust you. Like an idiot I forgot to use your link. I don't have paypal is their another way I could make a small donation...Superchat or maybe to the Animal shelter??
Very well presented, Henning (as usual... :D ) I ordererd the green blast...and OF COURSE I used your ref link!
Hello! How it going on? How freatboard? Is it don't have automatic vibrato on the 3rd string? Or another problems, thank!
nice review+ really nice playing. thanks!
Bought one with your link last week - great Guitar - Greetings Thomas
I like the space, and the guitar. Specifically the neck and PUP's.
I think roswell pickups have gotten better all around which is nice for affordable pickups
Cool guitar. I dig it, and I am going to put this one on my list! And great playing. Soulful. I love the music you've got going on here. Very melodic. Really fun. What's not to like.... about any of this?
Love your demos
Love harley benton Guitars
very nice instruments. My 550 amber paradise is holding up very well, fantastic guitar
i think next i may get the Telecaster TE 50 looks great
52
Nice vibes from the room where you're recording from. Wish these HB's were available in Canada..for the $$ that's a sweet rig !!
ha .. heute habe ich die noch auf einer HB Facebook Seite gesehen und mich verliebt. Jetzt hast du sie hier im Test .. cool.
This will be my first T. I love it!!!
I think I've found my next HB to demo. Sick!
there was also a red one and orange too, the orange looked SICK!!! But it sold out IMMEDIATELY!!!!
Man I love your playing.... awesome!!!!!!!!
Great playing!
So basically with that guitar you can play everything!! Thats very good to know!!
Studio B looks amazing!! 🤘🏻
23:43 is best part 😂
NIce vid there Henning.
Great performance!!! Bravo!!!!
The guitar looks awesome. So does Studio B!
Good review!!!
Cool studio...the TPS guys would feel right at home. ; )..You have a glaring blank center spot on the back wall that calls out for an HP42 logo. Earl Slick has a line of budget guitar models with a similar stained look that are very highly regarded...apparently they are as hard to get ahold of one as these may be.
Cool opening track and boy can you play!
That IS a nice guitar.. So is Studio B 👍😁
Came for the review... Stayed for the beagle 🥰😍🐶
You are a ninja reviewer! Great place, and cuddly doggie!
Great tune. Would be fun to learn.
I Just bought one of these and I would say that it needs locking tuners, I bought a set of Machine Heads off ebay as well as a set of roller string trees probably didn't need them but I liked the look. I also plan on installing a treble bleed circuit as well. I will say the neck is really nice! probably the nicest thing about the guitar, though it is a few mill thicker than what I'm used to but it does work and I can fix that with some sanding!
I had to lower the action quite a bit and add some relief to the neck. The frets need to be polished, they have that scratchy new undressed fret feel, Oh and the intonation is off as well I had to move the saddles back about 2-3 mill. I thought Thomann was setting these up when they received them from the factory but I guess not.
The finnish was the big disappointment, it's painted on... but I have to keep reminding myself that it's only a $200 guitar. So my minor bitches are really just an FYI to the public that are looking to buy and want to know what really needs to be done to the guitar if you want it to be a player.
I sold mine in the end, lovely fun guitar to play and the harmonics of this instrument were superb but man that finish....It's not even painted on, it's just some cheap printed laminate.
@@adamdam that's an absolute *bummer*.
wow!! thats a badass guitar!!
Ashamed to release beautiful guitar! But never for left-handed people! And we are satisfied with basic and ugly models! Thank you Thomann
Wow exactly what I more or less said.
If the dog is pleased, nothing could go wrong with this axe...
Man that thing has a whole vibe, think I need a blue one lmao
Bridge looks nice
Henning's so great it hurts.
i got the orange one , might get the blue one too
Ordered my Blue Blast a month back but due to Covid it is still stuck in customs. Hopefully can get it soon and do a review for it. After your review am pretty happy with the buy. Bruno looked super interested. Maybe Bass is his thing....... Bass Beagle Bruno!
Hello, got a guitar? Are there any problems with the setup right from the package? Are there automatic vibrato on the 3 strings when you are not doing them, i.e. problems with frets / tuning and the purity of the notes you make? Thanks in advance!
@@user-jd6rd8cq7k The guitar came in a pretty bad state with paint marks on the neck and the low E saddle played like a sitar string. I took it to a luthier who charged me 100 EUr to file the saddle, setup the guitar and use paint thinner to remove the mark. After that it played great and will be uploading the review soon on my channel. However Thomann said that the warranty was now null and void on the instrument and are asking for a bill from the luthier in order to provide a store credit for the repair amount. In India these guys do not provide such bills and find it strange that Thomann would behave this way. They did however compensate me for the Mandolin and broken EMG wiring kit. Watch the unboxing om my channel.
Here's a suggestion for a better 'Studio B' name - 'Studio Too'.
You're welcome.
Low budget sounds great! D
Pro Job in almost all aspects, and honest, too.... thx a lot...No one minds a reasonable promo of good and affordable things, whoever makes them wherever, because it prevents people from getting into debts and debts for their creative gear.Thomann is right, imho, not to use financing to sell so called "big brands" with making you pay just for the name of it, but have quite usable and affordable things built instead.
Well now I’m confused.. I was bent on getting the Harley Benton JA-60 CC in Lake Placid Blue thanks to your awesome review video… But now I made the mistake of watching this video and Now I think I want this Tele😂 I’m not sure which one I want more.. Great video I love your channel and since of humor… You Rock if you could give me some advice that might help me decide between the two Harley Benton’s I would appreciate it.. I know they are two different style guitars but I like what I like😂😂 Take care and God bless
Craig
they are both great… only you can know which one is right for you.
Thank you for your quick response and you are so right when I see the Harley Benton guitar I want I will buy it… It’s as simple as that.. I hope all is well… and I look forward to more of your Harley Benton guitar reviews.. Will you please consider doing a review on the HB TE 70 Black Paisley? Or maybe you have already done that review you have a shit load of videos maybe I missed it🤔 Take care.
Craig
hell yeah I am psyched on getting a 3-p90 semi Guild that currently goes for 666 euro. Please give us an honest review on the devil;s spawn! the goldtop please!
Every time I watch one of your videos, it makes me want to spend money. This almost has me convinced to NOT buy the SC 550+, and to get this instead. 👍👍👍😏😏😏
This Te90FLT Tele, sounds better than the Harley Benton Fusion T, to my ears :-)
Love your channel, love to hear cool accent… I’m from Tennessee, I should talk huh?
More dog in videos in the future, please.
I bought the Green version a few weeks back, great sound but the pickups were very badly fitted. The slots on the installation screws were destroyed on two leaving sharp metal burrs on the heads. Two screws were also sticking out about 5mm from the pickup covers. The pickups were sitting slanted and the heights could not be adjusted. Ended up removing the pickups and putting foam under them in order to get them to sit level. The hollow rout under the pick guard was very uneven with a couple of big chunks of wood not removed, not a big deal as it cant be seen but it shows a rushed or careless manufacture.
Tbf you often get quite a bit more than you pay for with HB guitars with the odd dud here and there...shouldn't expect much.
@@adamdam yeah, I wouldn't call the guitar a dud. It plays well, sounds decent and is a great knock around guitar.
The pickup installation was dreadfull though.
Hi dear sir. I would like to ask you... Can you replace the pickups with SD or other Humbuckers?
Wie viele Shirts hat der Henning eigentlich jetzt schon bei Aliexpress gekauft? Alle! 😉😂
“I didn’t know Freddie Kruger had a guitar channel “someone once said. Now that’s funny. Well done henning.
@Der_Mantie be careful. I’ve had a telling off from Henning. He took it as an insult. Wasn’t meant as an insult but was just a lighthearted bit of fun. Sorry Henning it wasn’t meant to be an insult.
@Der_Mantie he’s a lovely bloke but I’m on the naughty step.
Agreed... looks incredible and your tracks sound seriously great too. Is that neck thick or thin? Reverse headstock is a deal-killer. Can't shake the vibe of it looking like some dude's wearing his shoes on the wrong feet or carrying on a conversation with someone who's crossing their eyes. Might appeal to someone whose head is facing 180 degrees the other way though.
Ugh same!! I’d be all over this if it wasn’t for the headstock
Dudes, that reversed headstock is what sells it for me!!! Not just another Fender copy!!! 👍👍👍😃😃😃
Just swap it out to a fender neck.
@@c.noahbaoas6816 exactly ! It's it's own thing 🔥
So are the tuners an easy swap? Could you replace them with decent locking tuners without modifications on the wood?
Great review. All guitar measurements should be provided in metric and baby dolphin from now on.
I guess you could say it's a "Jangley" fat Tele... pretty cool.. I like the red one :)
Do you like the bridge better on this one than the vintage white model with the cheap-o bridge?
Awesome playing, what did you turn on at 12:54 to get that chorus/synth effect? I want one!!
Walrus Audio Mako D1 - don't own one, but did try it whilst giving a couple guitars a shot in a store recently and it's pretty nice. Has a cool modulation mode where it runs a delay thru an LFO so I'm guessing Henning is using that one here!
Se ve fantástica!!!!
Where did you get that awesome hoodie?
I have always wanted to buy one of these TE90 models (since 4/5 years), but i just don't like the reversed headstock, as well as the (sort of) maple fretboard, i wonder if or when Thomann will decide to propose this model in a more conventionnal configuration, each his own after all
Does anyone know if you can fit a bigsby on this guitar?, I believe Thomann has a chlone Bigsby for around 100 Eur. Is it too heavy?
The orange blast cannot be found it has gorgeous looking
I know. I wanted it. Been looking at it.... and all of a sudden..... gone! Man - I hope they bring that back soon - because that one is killer looking. I think these guitars are really cool.
@@jimmyz2098 I think I actually got the last one, shortly after I got It it went out of stock haha that was a month ago though!
@@adamdam Damnit!!!!! LOL
@@jimmyz2098 To be fair, I have another comment on here about my opinion on the 'blasted finish' of this guitar, while a lovely guitar to play and listen to It really doesn't look good to which I just mean the 'blasted finish' apart from that and especially at the price, It's a great guitar.
Ive got the blue blast one the tuners are a bit stiff they need changing gonna change the string trees but otherwise is great, should do one with a floyd rose trem i reckon.
ANY IDEA as to the tuner hole size? 8 or 10mm?
Dude... You played your ass off in that intro!!!!
Someone in north america should load up amazon fullfillment centers with these
Sounds GREAT with an AUSSIE amp! \m/ Achilles, made in Springvale, Victoria!
How well do you think this would work downtuned? I'm looking for a guitar for low tunings, with a neck humbucker for sorta stoner rock tones & pseudo 60s baritone vibes but since I do tend to prefer single coil sounds overall, the Filtertrons seemed like a great option, nice and glassy for shoegaze and other genres.
Did you get the guitar ? Do you think is good for doom Stoner?
@@piermolinari6682 I ended up getting the HB CST24 HB, really nice guitar for Doom Stoner. You don't get a ton of semi hollows in the genre maybe, but Josh Homme is known for using them so I thought it'd be wroth a go. It actually adds a resonance that's really useful for the sound.
i like your honest reviews...spark amp review please
if they send me one I'm in... otherwise....
Would like to see that review, too! I can send a Spark if I get it back eventually 😂 as I got the Spark and a Yamaha THR10II for comparing recently, looking for a practice amp.
I do want to like the Spark. Dialing in a decent tone without the app isn't impossible I guess, but I couldn't. It is way better with the app, and you got loads of pedals there, but it takes some time. The patches from the cloud are useless in my eyes/ears. The overall sound is just waaaaay too bass heavy, and the EQ doesn't help there.
The Yamaha: It is just dead easy to dial in a good or great tone in a matter of seconds, even without the app. Just like any amp. I don't miss all the effects of the Spark in the Yamaha.
YMMV. I don't want to talk the Spark down, but there was a lot of hype about it. I got a lesson in whose reviews on UA-cam are just plain ads and whose aren't. The Spark sounds and feels like a MultiFX-Board with active speakers, and that's not a bad thing at all, while the Yamaha just feels like a real amp (it's hard to explain...).
Still, I want to like the Spark...
@@ssm445 i have a katana 50 ..i tend to use the acoustic clean and crunch and not much else..i would also be using this on the spark...the spark is £200 and the yamaha is double. not that this is a bad thing..however i dont see the yamaha as a real tube amp at all..its an effect amp and it doesnt have as many effects as the spark or katana....so i see the yamaha as a waste of space to be honest...it doesnt sound like a tube amp and hasnt got many effects...i get what you mean it kind of acts like one when you dig in but it still hasnt got that sound..its like a stereo..the katana also has this issue..if you want a practice tube amp the blackstar ht1 mk2 is alot cheaper than the yamaha .there are a few tube amps for £400..but if you want many tones..get a katana or spark..i wouldnt get the katana air with the small speakers and the app is only for android and is a pain..the app for the bigger katanas are also on windows and is alot easier..many patches to get from facebook groups too..so you dont have to spend time messing about dialing things in that people would have you believe..you copy paste..done and the portable thing is so stupid i feel like hitting people when they mention it...yes the thr amp is tiny and a katana 50 is a bigger..when you are carrying the yamaha you will have nothing else in that hand but the amp..so it makes no difference at all what so ever if its a thr or katana you are carrying..its filling that hand either way....you will also be carrying a guitar which hardly fits in your pocket..its like a dead human..so you wlll be carrying it to a car from the house..how many people do you see out walking down the road with a guitar and a thr? none.they travel by vehicle..and if your bird is moaning over an amp..get shut of it and get a better one..coz if its moaning about an amp..im sure it moans about a whole load of other nonsense..
@@mattyburrows9059 Don't get fooled by Positive Grids cheesy pricing policies. I had 25% off and including tax, shipping, exchange, I paid €250 for it. I got the Yamaha THR10II for €280 new. Dont' get fooled by the list of funny effects in the Spark. The THR has a MUCH wider variety in tones, especially more cabs (that you can't even change on the Spark). Patches from FB and Cloud are for the tone deaf, sorry :). The whole "learn amp" or "jam amp" thing is spoiled by the app. It takes ages to open a track, even on FTTH, rendering it completely useless (it only works in UA-cam videos, but there is always a cut).
I bought these two amps to go easy on my main amp (a Mesa Boogie Fillmore), for pure convenience when I can't crank, and for travels. Portability IS a thing. I can easily throw the THR in the legroom and hit the road, and I do that often since I got it, but I can't with my Mesa and even the Spark is inconvenient if you don't buy a bag with it.
As said, the Spark sounds and feels like a MultiFX-Board with active speakers (or subwoofer only, which is my main complain about it), the Yamaha sounds and feels just like a tube amp, the response is exactly like on my Mesa. Yamaha did with the THR what NO other modeling amp I tried (incl. Katana, Spider and Cube) could do, not even remotely, and that's true amp feeling and non-digital tone. I don't like the company much, but I give credit where it's due.
That said, my experience with Positive Grid customer support has been outstanding. The Spark is known to give hum and crackles and I had that problem, too, but after reporting that the amp is giving small electric shocks (not noticeable on the fingers), they sent out a new power supply. The shocks are also the reason for the often reported crackles.
You can't feel it on the fingers, but we all know Henning likes to lick his guitar. He shouldn't do that while plugged in a Spark :)
The thing about the bird is disturbing to say the least. Definitely not your business.
@@ssm445 i think the thr acts like a tube amp..but it certainly doesnt sound like one..its not thick and i just cant find the words..i like acdc .people think its just a touch of gain but its not....the katana you can change the frequency of each tone ..top top middle middle and so on .. you can match any tone and by adding one of the 60 pedals..you can also change the frequencies of that too..dont get me wrong this hasnt got the tube amp thing ..its more of a stereo hifi but im not too bothered as its just a practice amp for low volume because of neighbours.. there is no bluetooth either ..this is where it fails you need to be plugged in to the wall and the amp and youre plugged into the amp..wires for days....but this is my first amp as iam a beginner..so i dont think ive done too bad ....i couldnt comment on the spark..but it does look like its full of features..thats why we need a proper review that shows all of its features..not just half of a review...thats the whole point of a review..to review all of what it does..i was not aware of the youtube cut out thing and the app being a headache..this is why i was looking at the spark..the whole play along thing..chords coming up and all of that good looking stuff..also i wasnt aware you are stuck with tones..i thought you could change them as easy as the thr and was under the impression it was a thr on steroids..but if it still sounds like a hifi stereo and lacks in the app..its kind of pointless..you should do a review mate..there isnt a proper full review on the spark..ive learned more about the spark talking to you than i have watching videos .people get them for free and this is the issue we have..we need to know about the bad things..we need brutal honesty in review...snowflake reviews lol..im now thinking blackstar ht1 mk2 which will give me the tube amp thing but its a one trick pony.. i might get the thr if it gives you the tube amp sound...i will wait until december when lockdown is over and shops are open again so i can check the thr out...but thanks for the heads up on the spark amp
Big question , dose it stay in tune? Or it needs some moding? Also how would you upgrade? Thanks.
Locking tuners, full setup and fret dress, treble bleed circuit and you will have a good player!
Studio naming competition incoming?
What size are the pickups? Would you be able to swap them out, or would you need to route the cavities?
This are Filtertron small ones. So regular humbuckers will not fit without routing.
Does this have the new alnico 5 Roswell Filtrtrons?
Is that real sandblast or just a paint "sanblast alike"? Wondering if that woodgrain is real?
I have the sunburst version of this one. I bought it used but almost like new for 90EUR in early 2019.
Those roswell FLT clones are superb.
Mine is a weight relief version. The electronic cavitiy is huge so you could easily put 2 additional pots in there if you like a LP Style volume and tone shaping. Under the "half" pickguard is also a big cavity.
So the whole lower part of the guitar is almost hollow. That makes the guitar a bit "headdy", not like an SG, just so slightly. I also noticed mine has different tuners, the small ones.
I sold mine because the volume knob is in the way and my hand kept hitting it.
Shame because it sounds great.
Oh, man...it is an easy fix, just go to any guitar tech and tell him ti make it one pot wiring and use tone pot placement for that and leave volume pot place empty. That is what I would do if it is the only problem..
Would this be better than a epiphone les paul standard
what pedal came on at 12:53 ?
nice🤟🎸👍
I received this exact model, same color last week shipped here in Canada. The action for me is way to high almost unplayable. I have to bring it to my luthier, I'll see after. Seems yours was ok? Did you set it up a bit ?
Ok I wrote before the end. Ok so its normal. Ok Ciaoo
The set up on mine was bang in tune and to the point of minimal fret buzz out the box and sadly yes the action is still a little high, mainly on the e, b and g string BUT It still plays real smooth, especially lead licks...the harmonics too are really good.
@@adamdam Hello! Are there any problems with the setup right from the package? Are there automatic vibrato on the 3 strings when you are not doing them, i.e. problems with frets / tuning and the purity of the notes you make? Thanks in advance!
@@bobmusikk Hello, got a guitar? Are there any problems? Are there automatic vibrato on the 3 strings when you are not doing them, i.e. problems with frets / tuning and the purity of the notes you make? Thanks in advance! Is the guitar fully tuned and playing honest notes? Did you manage to make the height 0.6 millimeters?
@@user-jd6rd8cq7k I think the neck just needs levelling out a little due to fret buzz, actions a lil high but still feels very smooth to play, tuning is tight and intonated near perfect out the box, the tuners are very stiff though, but tuning is very stable due to the nature of the components.
My opinion is just buy the guitar with a plain finish, for It's price It's one hell of a guitar but looks cheap due to the faux finish.
Seems good but the true customers will receive as good quality checked guitars ?
thomann has a rly good return policy, saying that from experience. they're making good stuff
out of the 2 harleys ive had in my hands (one is mine one is a friends), the ONLY issue ive had is the fake wilkinson pickups that the factory was shipping a few years back, which is why roswell are now the go to, and i have ZERO issue with them, infact my most expensive guitar/bass (status graphite) has pickups made by roswell as OEM.
yes set up isnt always great, but for the price, you can afford a set up if you cant do it yourself.
i bought tuners for my paisley strat as the stock ones were JUNK, but it was about £140 so i dont mind.
You get a like and comment just because of Bruno 🖤😭

The finish looks like it was printed on, or like one of those amateur stain jobs you see on a lot of people's DIY kit guitars
Depends on the DIYers ability. I have had great results with: www.wudtone.com/finishing-diy-kits/
Yeah I had this guitar and sold it in the end due to the horrible finish, It's like some cheap printed laminate.
@@adamdam I can understand that, but for me if it sounds good I don't care how it looks.
@@navigatori9797 I dunno, for me it's gotta look right whatever that may be, with a good sound.
What weight is it? People saying they are super heavy.
It's SOLID, holds the sustain and tone really well but yes quite weighty but I've always preferred that personally!
I've handled a half dozen of the HB's and ALL of them were heavy as hell. They aren't drying the wood enough because every species of wood they use ends up so heavy.
