    Thanks again for another good and very entertaining review Henning. This is a great 'do everything' guitar, especially for those of us who like classic & vintage looking Les Pauls & P90 pups. I particuarly like the classic 70's rock tones that this axe does. Fantastic guitar for it's price and absolutely nothing wrong here with those P90's being ceramic, they can really rock. Wow, this guitar is great.

    First of all Henning, your vids are great, they make me laugh and inform me at the same time. I have bought the Brian May type guitar you featured in the 9 guitar vid (using your link) so I hope you get your points! It had a few set up issues but now it plays great but as in your vid, getting good sounds with the phase switches was a problem. I think some combinations will be unusable but there are plenty of good tones to spare. Keep up the good work and I wish you all success.

    Hi Henning, from rainy Northern Ireland.You, my friend are going t cost me a fortune. I have a Harley Benton TE-40 & love it, it cost me less than £100 & when I took it to a guy to set it up properly, he couldn't believe the quality & ordered one himself!The SC-450 is another on my list, along with an SC Custom. It's all your fault I found out about Harley Benton guitars, so I am holding you responsible for the grief I will get from my wife.This was a great review & I have a fever is a great track.I also bought Harley Benton British Sound, Digital Delay & Compressor pedals after your reviews.Keep it up, your reviews are informative & fun.

  • @woodyamsterdam
    @woodyamsterdam 8 років тому +1

    PS: I just read on the Thomann site that the body is made out of basswood and the neck out of maple. Since basswood is much cheaper than mahogany, it's very well possible that it's a two part body.

    I'm a big fan of yours here in Mexico, I'm already studying with your blues lessons and first of all, I would like to thank you because thanks to those lessons, I have improved a lot in my technique :)
    I really want a good guitar that uses p'90 pickups and I believe this HB Les Paul type guitar is a great choice but, do you know what can I do for Thomann send me one of this to my country? I would really appreciate your help.
    I thank you for all the reviews and lessons you do because they're awesome, please forgive me for my bad english ;)
    Greetings from Mexico City and keep rocking man!!

  • @mikehughes2183
    @mikehughes2183 6 років тому

    I don't get the goldtop thing too but this is a great guitar for the money! Why can't it be cherry sunburst!! it seems to be the traditional thingy to do for the copyists, when a Les Paul type guitar is loaded with P-90s, it's almost the law to do the holy grail of guitars, the "56 Goldtop" I think, just before the humbuckers came in.
    Big fan of yours Henning! Learnt a lot from you. Great sense of humour, and also you really know what you are talking about, a great authority on everything guitar related!

    I have been looking for an epiphone special with the p 90 pickups but hard to find here in Europe (Denmark) and I don't have the money to get an epiphone les paul junior.
    Would this Harley Benton be a very good alternative to my wishes?
    It's not in stick at the moment I see at thomann.de (the gold top) the red is sold out? ((
    Keep on rocking and bluesing and jazzing your channel

    ich hatte auch eine, allerdings total verbastelt und versaut vom vorbesitzer - zig löcher bei den potis, hals abgeschliffen usw, aber das teil war von der basis her echt genial!
    hab dann neue mechaniken verbaut und hatte jede menge spaß - was das holz angeht, ahornhals und alles andere als mahagoni - wahrscheinlich deswegen so genial für mich, weil ich eher der tele man bin...
    ich werd mir wieder eine gönnen, weil sie mir optisch gefällt und vom sound her erst recht!

    • @pikherz
      @pikherz 9 років тому

      Me too. The neck pickup is always the best on Les Paul guitars. How is the HB GT P90? I have played the Epiphone version of it in my local music store cause I can't drive to Thomann and play the HB. I totally loved it.

    Hi, great vids! Proves yet again that a lot of the sound comes not just from the guitar but from the fingers, everyone who's slamming cheaper guitars for being no good half the time can't even play. Have you by any chance played the Harley Benton TE-30? It's a telecaster with a maple neck, goes for about 89eu. I'm thinking about getting my hands on it, but unfortunately my only option is shipping it over as I am unable to travel to thomann just for a test drive. If you have played it, how was it? Thanks and keep up the good work, love the channel!

    @MrAlexhollins 8 років тому

    I'm a Fender 25.5 player of old looking for a budget LP guitar. This seems like a great option. They do a slightly more expensive variation with what seems useful upgrades such as a graphite nut, Wilkinson PU's and Grover tuners. Have you tried that guitar and if so do you consider it a better purchase. Love the clips and your playing.

    Hi, thanks for all your demos! They are very useful! Actually, for me you are a gifted teacher!
    I'm a very big fan of Thomann: I've bought a
    Harley Benton TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series for 111€ and i'm super satisfied!! Also I've bought a Harley Benton EX-76 BK Classic Series ... very funny.
    I've a question for you: after your demo of this guitar, I'd like to buy a guitar with P90 and I'm cannot decide among the
    - Harley Benton TE-90QM Trans Red, (very beautiful but expensive)
    - the L-450 P90 Les Paul (you tested but I already have and LP Guitar) and
    - the Harley Benton HB JA-60SB Vintage Series (the only type I'm still missing and very cheap...)
    Could you give me some advice?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ciao,

I would be really interested in your views on this classic shape guitar. Secondly, the track 'I have a fever' is great and if I had a chance to buy it I would, it is my kind of music!

    Hi Henning, durch dich auf diese Harley Benton aufmerksam geworden, habe ich mir das von dir verlinkte Angebot bei Thomann (online) mal angeschaut. Wie du schon in der Artikelbeschreibung erwähnt hast, wurden an dem Modell einige Änderungen vorgenommen. Der Korpus ist nun z.B. aus Linde anstatt Mahagoni und die Mechanik ist auch nicht mehr die Vintage Variante die das Modell in deiner Demo hatte. Wie beurteilst du diese (und ggf. weitere) Änderungen, insbesondere der Mechanik (evtl. hast du zwischenzeitlich andere Modelle mit derselben getestet?

    DId they change the horn on these guitars???
    On the HBs Ive seen lately, the cut-out seems more scooped and pointy like an ESP/LTD.
    Anyone? Curious minds like mine want to know.
    Thanks

    • @blakejones6648
      @blakejones6648 5 років тому

      Based entirely on my own research:
      They did change the horn, when, not sure - only found these a month ago. It swoops more, I kinda like it
      The ESP-ish guitar exists, it's a separate line.

    Hi!! Nice video man!!
    I've been looking for imformation of this guitar that looks so good. I'm thinking on buy this guitar, but I have a question, those pickups what kind of P-90 are?
    Because I'm searching for a rockabilly style sound and I dont know if this guitar have the twang of some P-90, like classic models of the gibson les paul. Im talking of the classic sound of Elvis guitar or similar to the Gretsch guitar sound.

    • @rowdyjohnson6026
      @rowdyjohnson6026 4 роки тому

      Problem is ya described very different guitars and sounds. If ya want exact classic alnico p90 sound, ceramics p 90s wont do nor will filtertrons like in the old gretschs. A pickup cant make your guitar into something it's not, nor will one pickup ever replicate all the different sounds you mentioned. Burton's tele had a very different sound than Perkins' strat, and neither will get ya setzers' sound. There simply isnt one single guitar/ pickup that will get all of those sounds.

  • @pikherz
    @pikherz 9 років тому

    As I can't go to Thomas cause its too far I visited just music today and played some of the epiphone equivalents of the harley bentons. The Les Paul Standard Pro was just like my L-450Plus that I recently bought, I just wanted to see whether the price is giving you anything better. But the Epi was horribly manufactured, ugly binding, wiggly toggle switch, the knobs were uneven the wood was shit and the maple top looked like alder. I'm so glad I have my HB. I decided to play the Epi gold top P90 version though, just to see whether P90's are something for me and I immediately fell in love with them. The same day the HB GT P90 came back to the Thomas store. Does the HB GT P90 sound just as good as any other P90 Les paul or are there some differences. Cause if it sounds as nice and bluesy and the guitar I played in the shop and am so gonna buy it as soon as its available.

    • @EytschPi42
      @EytschPi42  9 років тому

      pikherz Tough to say... the HB is basswood and not mahogany... BUT bottom line: It is a great guitar for an insane price and I am having a lot of fun with it... and I do have a lot of expensive guitars... the P90 HB is just great!

Good man! Im choosing between the L-450 Plus and this P-90, still undecided ... which one would you go for if you had to choose? Im after Rock-Blues sounds. Greetings from Denmark!

      Henning Pauly Wow. That's interesting. Mine required a full fret level and action adjustments at nut and bridge... but once done, I love it. No matter how good it is (or how good that neck P90 sounds) people will still insist this is a rubbish guitar because it's not a Gibson and because it was made in the Far East by an unknown manufacturer...

    Many many Harley Benton guitars have been returned by clients because of faults on the guitar, so Im sure they do not checkout every guitar they send out.

      My guess is because computers dont do the greatest job of capturing the sound of the room, so ya often use outboard gear to try to compensate. It's more just a production thing so that the person at home on puter speakers can hear close to what ya would actually hear in the room with just a guitar and amp. The vid gives ya enough to be able to tell how it responds to playing dynamics and the volume knob, and gives ya an idea of playability as well as the character of the pickups, which is what ya really need to know when considering a guitar.

    I don't want to piss on anyone's parade but I'm apparently the only one who thinks that this guitar doesn't sound particularly good... You get what you pay for of course, but if you are a little more advanced player than an absolute beginner, I would strongly suggest to spend a couple of hundred more and get yourself a nice, well setup Epiphone, Ibanez, PRS-SE, etc.
    Respect though for your elaborate videos. I really enjoy them.

In quality it is better than my first guitar which was a Pearl SG copy, but don’t expect too much. It is certainly not comparable to a „real“ Gibson … but it’s absolutely an ok guitar.
