Very Cool, Thankyou. Congratulations on your awesome new guitars. WOW. They Both look Amazing. Nice Choices. I am in Australia and 58 now only 're-visiting' electric guitars after 30 years of occasional acoustic playing. We do not get Harley Benton either here, but do have the Awesome Aussie company Artist Guitars here like our Harley Benton. But can also ship from Thomann, at least they provide shipping deals too for multi guitars, so am tempted. I have The Harley Benton Rickenbacker and their 'Explorer' in my Cart ..... since Christmas, lol. Your awesome unboxing/first impressions have given me some confidence and convinced me to place my order.... hopefully soon. Near $1000- Australian for the 2 shipped still has me a bit nervous...... All the Best. Cheers
Thanks for the comment! Check out video 2 if you haven't yet. It's a week later and I play them a little and give more details. I think the RB-600CS is slightly my favorite of the two. The action on the TE-62DB is a little high, but both are great guitars IMO. I did the same, and had two different guitars in my Thomann basket and they were there for weeks, which was good, because I replaced both with these! Then I figured, what the hell, I'm 62 and deserve at least these two guitars! Besides, the $500 US I spent on both, including postage won't be missed, Now a days, it's the cost of a few tanks of gas! I saw on other videos that there may be customs or Vat fees, but not here. I checked online and your $1,000 is the same as around $625 US, so a little more than I spent, but very close. I say "Go ahead and do something nice for yourself, the guitars will give you more joy than the money !" BTW The RB-600 comes in a 12-string also, if that's of interest. Let me know if you get them, and if so, let me know what you think!
These guitars look great for the price
They are great, regardless of price!
