you have to be one of the coolest most genuinely cool musicians / youtube guitar presenters ever man! Gotta love this dude!!! Thank you for always making quality videos and content in general ! Love from Canada
What I love about Jon: First his excellent soulful playing and then not being a guitar brand snob. Now Fenders and Gibsons are nice guitars and I am happy to have two examples (second hand for a very cheap price), but I would never pay for new ones as I am just a bedroom player. I also have one second hand HB (SC 450 plus), which is also a nice guitar for the little money I payed. Now for poor people in western countries these budget brands are a great opportunity, for poor people in 3rd world countries even HB sadly is still too expensive. Cheers, Jon!
Great review thanks Jon. Wonderful playing. I love HB guitars, they are a terrific combination of quality and value for money. HB is democratising instruments for everyone! Thanks for posting.
Quality playing as usual my friend! Been looking at one of these too for a while. Thanks for the review! Ordered right....now!!! Hurry up folks or you'll be waiting again. Thanks, Jon! ♥
Sounds amazing Jon. The guys at HB have really got their act together. I worked with Red Meranti wood way back in the day, they use it for things like Boat and Trailer Decking, it is a very dense hardwood that will last a lifetime and using it for a Guitar in that price range is just fantastic. Thanks Jon 🎸🎸
You are an AMAZING guitar player! The main reason I follow you and watch your videos is your playing! To be honest I don't even care about the guitars you review, I have 2 guitars at home and not thinking about buying more but your MUSIC IS AWESOME! Do you have any guitar courses? I want to play like you!
Muchas gracias Jon por tus videos , me encantan , soy de España y te sigo en tus videos porque me gusta lo que haces , me encanta como tocas la guitarra y me gusta como creo que eres 😊
A great musical sample and a very nice piece from HB and Thomann. I have 7 guitars from them, all OK. I really like this SG, but I have similar ones from Encore and Vintage, so I'll have to think for a while (preferably without my wife😀). Thank you for the wonderful video and greetings. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
You really played a blinder on this Jon. It was just perfect. I have the 2016 version of this and I absolutely love it. In saying that they have made some decent upgrades to this since my version. Better pickups, and split coil. I upgraded mine with Probuckers and installed a duesemberg trem which works wonderfully. Otherwise the setup was top class, the finish and playability was spot on. Really interesting to see the evolution Jon. Thanks 😃👍👍👍❤️❤️
Hello. Just amazingly beautiful and skilled playing, and it’s a joy to see and listen to you.This guitar model has been under my scope for a very long time. The HB has so many affordable guitar models that I want to buy. This one is definitely one of them. Have a nice evening and God bless ❤️
Bonjour de France Jon Toujours le meilleur ! , celle la je ne l'ai pas encore dans ma collection. elle sonne bien. Je viens de passer sur un kemper et j'ai acheté une sono L.D. system Maui 28 g2. dans les 12 m² de mon studio musique je suis l'homme le plus heureux de la terre avec ça. J'arrête avec les guitares, c'est un cas de divorce avec ma Femme , j'en ai 21 dont 10 harley bettons. ce sont des supers guitares! Hello from France Jon Always the best! , I don't have this one in my collection yet. sounds good, for doing ACDC. I just upgraded to a Kemper pre amp and bought an L.D. sound system Maui 28 g2 audio system. in the 12 m² of my music studio, 1 kW of power, I am the happiest man in the world with that. I stop buying guitars, it's a matter of divorce with my wife, I have 21 including 10 Harley Betton. These are awesome guitars!🥸👍🎸
finally a demo of this type of guitar that doesn't just do the classic ac/dc riffs... not that there's anything wrong with it... but it's nice to hear other styles too... very good!
When I order one I hope it has the same wood pattern, love the look the lighter strip gives it, yes Jon your reviews of HB’s have caused a lot of them to arrive at my door
Jon, this style guitar never really grabbed me much, I have never desired one and still don't. I mostly associate Angus or Tony with the SG style and I have enjoyed their music for a long time now. This guitar doesn't suit you well, though you made it sound like a million bucks as you always do! Thanks for the great review you always do😊
Hi Jonathan, I love so much your song played at start , awesome. Also the play for demoing the neck position, I could close my eyes and fly high with angels. Thank you for your music. About the guitar, yes HB have made lot of progress in quality over a decade, my HB35 from 2015 is awful while my 2023 Strat anniversary is perfect. About that HB SG, beautiful sound but the 3 pieces body with different colors is not my taste. I used to have a brand new Gibson SG Std 2013 with 57pickups that I sold , replaced by a used Gibson SG Std 2008 with 490 pickups that I better link with.
Jon, I own an older version of this very model and it has been my daily driver for years. Always plugged in ready to grab next to my desk. Mine has no coil split but is otherwise the same AFAIK. Best value for the money. Does Rock and Blues and Jazz. Even Funk. Double cuts are no rock-only guitars, even though their appearance on stage might suggest so.
Mmmm ... those extra frets and the asymetric cuts are pure ESP/LTD Viper Series perfect mods to the original Gibson SG ... I sold my LTD Viper ... but now I'm gonna get this one for sure ¡¡¡
Beautiful guitar, amazing playing as always. An SG has been in my wish list for ages but this alternative sounds very good, obviously in your hands everything sounds great 😂. Let’s see if it is available by the time when I decide to get it ✌️🤩👍🎸
Usa maine giving you a shout,that's some bad ass playing there,holy shit bro you are amazing,I'm subscribed he'll ya,ty for that you helped me out of a slunk,lol,I just made that up but ya that was awsum,love the guitar to,I'm gonna get me one,#19,dam I'm getting alot of them,so additive isn't it,jim from maine,USA all the way in the upper corner of the world
I second the sentiments of another commenter, that the SG is not my cut of tea etc. However, upon listening to Jon play, the instrument could have been just about anything, e.g. a Superstrat of sorts. 😅 Thanks Jon for the demo! HB really ought to send you a freebie guitar or two for these videos or giveaways. You always make them sound so very good.
If the Harley Benton people are reading this, please update the lefty DC line. We're still stuck on the "Vintage Series" with the old shape and lack of features found in the Gotoh series or other more modern updates found in the right handed models.
I have a Gibson SG Std. Ltd Ed with case I got for $800.00 USD at an estate sale. It is worth at minimum 3 times the money. The owner passed away before he got a chance to play it so it is in brand new condition. I then sold my PRS SE and to reimburse me for half of it. That is how I got a guitar I could never afford.
Yes, like you I like the Harley Bentons a lot ... I have 4 different - and if I can afford it, sure I'l have another one ... Now as a retired old musician - I have to be very careful how I spend money ... And most of what there is out there are out of reach for me ....
That’s a good looking guitar and sounds good, However Gibson SG is one of the most affordable Gibson models especially if you do your homework and buy a well kept example.
Aww...it is not 'authentic'😂😂😂 probably stays in tune too, and the headstock does not come pre broken.... Just pay 10 times more and get the 'real deal'!
The strap button location on SG guitars irritates me. I never consider them because of how they hang on a strap. Maybe this Harley Benton will feel more familiar and hang like a Les Paul?! I’d love to try this.
Hi ! I like SG sound but I would like to try LP. Could you please tell me which guitar is better between this SG and Harley Benton SC 550 II BCF or the best HB LP according you for clean sound ? Sorry for this stupid questions but I need your answer....I sometimes find SG Neck long...Is 550 shorter ...? Thanks again
I've been looking at it for a long time, too. What's always held me back is the lack of uniformity in the wood color you can see under the varnish. Black pieces of wood and white pieces of wood, it's ugly!
I should finally buy an SG 😂...When I was young I wanted to buy one from someone I knew but it was so heavy that I never touched one again. I can still remember the exact moment I picked it up 🦣😂

Hi Jonathan, I can’t believe the price for this sweet sounding model. It looks and sounds perfect. Pickups sounded pristine. Great review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜

You could explain to your wife that it is a modern heater to keep the rooms warm 😊
Sounds and looks incredible for the money, and just in general.
sure does!

Wow… ✌️❤️
What’s that gotta do with this video?
Such narcissism 🤡
@Street-shitter That’s what I was thinking too
dear John, you could make even a table sound good
lol❤️
老師，好巧！我也是看這把琴一兩年了，今日才剛想到，沒想到馬上就看到老師的評測影片！是不是代表可以買了😂
Yes you can buy it.. it’s worth it✌️❤️
That guitar seems legit
It is✌️❤️
Yes, like you I like the Harley Bentons a lot ... I have 4 different - and if I can afford it, sure I'l have another one ... Now as a retired old musician - I have to be very careful how I spend money ...
And most of what there is out there are out of reach for me ....
Totally understand brother...❤️
That’s a good looking guitar and sounds good, However Gibson SG is one of the most affordable Gibson models especially if you do your homework and buy a well kept example.
Fair enough!
Я себе взял такую гитару просто потрясающий инструмент)
Nice!!
how's the neck dive on it? I heard that SG types usually have it pretty bad
Super
@@milanmaza1579 super bad? it has bad neck dive?
No neck dive
Aww...it is not 'authentic'😂😂😂 probably stays in tune too, and the headstock does not come pre broken....
Just pay 10 times more and get the 'real deal'!
I think these are closer to a esp viper than to a SG, thicker body than a typical SG
👍
Nice. Apparently they replaced it by the II version, the DC Custom II
Really?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud try to find it...
I wish HB would make a guitar in the style of the Yamaha SG2000...
they have...well...similar
The strap button location on SG guitars irritates me. I never consider them because of how they hang on a strap. Maybe this Harley Benton will feel more familiar and hang like a Les Paul?! I’d love to try this.
go for it
A transparent finish over mismatched wood is a poor decision, and really let’s the guitar down. Other than that it seems ok, but why?
lol..i dont know..go ask HB!
I don't care for the miss matched body wood.
👌
Especially at this price...I love mine too...
s this guitar still in production? I can't find it in Thomann website or even HB website, the only custom they hav is the double neck, or the DC580
You should email them and ask ✌️❤️
Hi ! I like SG sound but I would like to try LP. Could you please tell me which guitar is better between this SG and Harley Benton SC 550 II BCF or the best HB LP according you for clean sound ? Sorry for this stupid questions but I need your answer....I sometimes find SG Neck long...Is 550 shorter ...? Thanks again
