    @pyratoothNL Před 3 lety +2

    Thorough video - well done! Same story as you; saw that Guitar World article and had to click buy. Arrived within a week. Other than a tune up mine was ready to go out of the box. Black fingers from the Roseacre fret board (!) I can't find any finishing faults anywhere on mine, neck feels great and the all-over satin finish is gorgeous. But I will say I think the bridge pickup is quite dark. Your vid sounds brighter, but that is probably the preset you are using. I guess that is the voicing they are looking for and as you demo'd for drop tuning they sound great. I just had to EQ a little more for the top end. But I actually found the pickups are pretty responsive to harmonics and the neck pickup warmth is great for blues or jazz if you want. This guitar is a bargain for the quality and price, and other than the fiddly bridge re-restring thing, I think this would be great for a beginner. Popular too because they are currently out of stock...

  • @DeRoxx4114
    @DeRoxx4114 Před 3 lety +2

    Thanks for showing the teardown! I have a Harley Benton SC and I replaced the pickups and hardware after I got it. I just ordered this guitar and will probably do the same, so I can shop for parts now based on your video.
    Btw, you mentioned that even with the fret wrap you still had some ringing. I wonder if it was the strings above the string saddle. I saw another video where they dampened those with some velcro strips and it fixed a lot of extra ringing.

  • @Gabriel-jp4um
    @Gabriel-jp4um Před 3 lety +3

    Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but I just received this guitar (4/28/2021) and the strings are now through the back of the body with Ferrules. Seems like they started drilling holes through the body to accommodate this style of bridge, and I think this is a really great quality addition for this model. Mine came with a small corner scuff on the fretboard at the 22nd fret but other than the visual aspect, I can't feel it while playing. I had planned to have the holes drilled through the body but looks like I dont have to now. The price is $100 now but if im paying $10 extra for through-body string holes, then it's worth it imo. Anyway thanks for your well-done and thorough review! You helped me make a good purchase.

    great review, Guthrie Govan says basswood and maple are the perfect combo for tone on a guitar i have guitars with basswood bodies that sustain and sound great with maple necks. reminds me of John 5 telecaster. im thinking of grabbing one i have the HB te 52 and it is a great guitar for the budget price point and a cst24t which i love in paradise flame HB makes good quality guitars for the price point.

    Dude, I just got mine a few days ago. Really great and in depth review! My only issues are that the fretboard is a little scratchy and I'm having some minor problems keeping it in tune. Haven't played it that much tho. Still, it sounds great and feels solid. Thanks for the review!

    Ran into one of these at GC Las Vegas brand new with HB hangtag and plastic on pick guard , no blemishes or issues for $59 !
    GC has a 30 day minimum hold policy on used guitar purchases , apparently someone traded it in? ! (yikes they must have gotten $20 towards trade )
    So wound up putting it on layaway for $10 lol
    I demoed it thru a Vox Ac 10, fairly clean, just a touch of gain and reverb, it sounded legit ! and looks the part of a $200-300 guitar
    Can't by a wreck of a guitar at a pawn shop for $59

  • @Leo_ofRedKeep
    @Leo_ofRedKeep Před 3 lety +2

    I very much doubt the middle position involves any kind of splitting or fancy wiring. You can check that by touching pole pieces with a screwdriver to determine which are active.

    • @pyratoothNL
      @pyratoothNL Před 3 lety

      Agreed, but I understand his point. On mine it was verging on that "glass" tone in the middle, nice for rhythm.

  • @dickgitaar2012

    Nice guitar, lovely fat 50's feel neck, got this guitar too, but I don't like HB's in the neck so a P-90 in it now ( and a splittable old Dimarzio HB in the bridge that was lying around) that made the guitar much more versatile , but that's a question of taste, what I really didn't like was the 6 saddles toploader bridge, not because it's a toploader, but because string changing is a hell of a job , surely for a beginner, so the first thing I did is drill 6 holes and made irt a backloader. Pity they didn't put a toploader bridge on it with 3 saddles, then changing strings would have been a lot easier...so I hope that they put a better bridge on it on the next batch, or make it a backloader in the factory, because not anyone can do that job himself.... .

      I thought it quite reasonable. 98 bucks plus shipping got it to Montana in less than a week for 162 total. Similar shipping on another guitar through Gear4Music. But for some reason (DHL) it took almost 2 months to get here. A local music store has a couple Harleys for sale on their floor and they are 250. Another feller had this one on marketplace for 225...used....He wouldnt drop below 180 plus shipping so I simply bypassed the scammer and ordered mine direct. LOVE this guitar
