- Can a budget guitar be this good? The HB R-446 Demo and Sound Review. Video made to get an idea what this guitar sounds and plays like for curious purchasers of buying a guitar online. How can they make a guitar this good for this price?

I know this is considered to be a "metal" guitar, but I'm really glad you went through the clean tones. If a guitar can sound good clean, then it can sound good distorted.
+1 But! 02:35 - 2d-Position - Bridge split + Neck split - both together!
1 - Bridge (H),
2 - B (S) + N (S),
3 - B (H) + N (H),
4 - Neck (S),
5 - Neck (H).
Thanks!
Good review!
I've had mine (in "Flip Flop Blue") only for a week now, but I'm genuinely impressed what a price tag that low can offer. The only thing that required actual work on the setup was intonation. At the 24th fret some strings played a whole semitone sharp out of the box, but that's nothing an hour of fiddling with a screwdriver and a tuner wouldn't fix. One thing this guitar offers is a slightly wider (37 mm "from E to e") string spacing than the DIY kit "Stratocrapster" (34.5 mm) I played before this, so it's a better fit for my thick fingers.
There's also been slight tuning drift going on, but that may be just the stock strings lacking an extra turn around the tuner posts. Some of the strings started showing signs of slipping after just a few days! I've seen many say to just replace the strings on a new Harley Benton guitar right away. I'm just going to suffer with them for now to get a firmer opinion about them before they get replaced with D'Addario EXL110 set.
In the case of the guitar I got the tone control also feels like the capacitor has been hand-picked to resonate with the pickup coils in dual humbucker configuration (switch in the middle position), ie. the tone control initially works as a plain low-pass filter as usual but at the end it makes a mildly resonant circuit with the pickups. It's not clearly evident in clean tones, but driving the amp to distortion shows off the extra "dirt" the tone control can offer when turned fully counter-clockwise.
