Vložit

- Today we review the Harley Benton MR Classic finished in Metallic Blue gloss, ideal if you are looking for a mosrite or Univox Hi Flyer guitar on a budget!
I won this Harley Benton MR Classic MBL electric guitar on a ebay auction for £92, it was a very cheap score considering this guitar was in minty fresh condition in the box.

The only cheap guitar review I would ever trust, and with the guitar I've been eyeing for a while now, too!
Thank you very much, these guitars certainly get the guitar manifesto seal of approval 🏅🎸👌
Costs less than what some pickups cost and sounds bangin' ! Glad to see you resurfaced and keep on rocking buddy !
It certainly does have a class kick to it 👌 thanks mate, see how the old body holds up 🤣
I've got the MR Modern, it's become my primary player!! Ebony fret board, stainless frets, graphtech nut, locking tuners (vintage style with the greened over tuning pegs), P90 sized humbuckers, Alnico 5 if I remember correctly (splittable with a push pull tone pot) and a 2 point Wilkinson trem. Absolutely spectacular guitar. I picked mine up here in the States on the official Reverb shop for right under $300. Those P90s sound spectacular though!! Might have to start chasing this version to add to my rack as well.
Ooh nice yeah I'll have to try one for sure 👌💯
Hope your doing well mate nice to see this means your feeling good.
I've adjusted my playing style, so far so good but not pain free 😀🤘
glad to see you upload a video again 🙏
nice guitar anyway
Thanks, uploaded a few now in the last week or so.
I totally enjoy your demos, man!🤘
But not only that, im here for you playing too, i love your jams!🙌
Awesome thank you very much 🤘🎸😊😎
Sunburst with black pickguard and I'm in!
Perfecto 👌
What a beauty. The guitar's alright too.
Hope you're felling better these days. Always good to see one of your videos.
Ooh matron 😮 thank you, yes I'm ok had to adjust my playing style.🤘
I had one of these and sold it like a dummy lol. Great guitar at a great price! Nice playing Rob!
You live and learn 😓 yeah she was a fine score, thanks bro 🤘🎸
I have an Eastwood Sidejack Baritone in a similar body style to this. I might have to give one of these a try. Good jams as always 🤘
Them Eastwoods are nice, the HB MR is a nice guitar. Thanks dude 🤘🎸
You might have sold me on this, that neck pick up sounds great!
I think the pickups came across well on camera 👌🎸
I bought a MR Modern (in sunburst) as a moding platform. I will put on it a set of Di Marzio humbuckers and change a few things steticly to create a replica like Univox Hi-flyer Cobain style. For the money the guitar is nice out of the box, the only problem for me is too much heavy. Cheers!!
Ooh nice that'll be a cool guitar, I'll be sure to try one of them moderns 👌🎸
I like the lefthanded version since the design will give a good balance when it turning upside down just like Kurt does ...
Awesome 🎸👌
I've had my eye on these for a while, as I love that Mosrite shape!
And especially the ones with P90s - I've already have enough humbuckers 😜
Currently a bit strapped for cash, but I've certainly got the sunburst Classic on my Thomann wishlist 👍
I think everyone has been eyeing these up, it's such a cool looking guitar 👌😎
P90s are awesome pickups good mix of single coils and humbuckers but still very different.
Hopefully you'll get one soon 💯🎸
Nice melodic guitar playing.
Thank you very much 😀🎸
Nice looking
She's a beaut 👌
cool guitar 🎸and keep the geetah vids coming cheers Rob! 😎
It's very cool, thanks bro 🤘🎸
@@theguitarmanifesto Stephanie here aka stephie peeka lil gal with a big guitar lol 😄all good, cheers my friend 🎸
*sis 🤣🤣
@@theguitarmanifesto 🎸ya bro! 🤣
Awesome guitar! Also I’ve always loved your original tracks. Have you ever thought of releasing them or adding lyrics and vocals?
Thank you very much, yeah pretty much done it before I just make videos now 👌💯
Hello, From the StateS. Thanks For Sharing 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✌️
Rock on!!! 🤘🎸
That sounds really nice mate 👍🏻 Great playing too.
Thank you very much, it's a great guitar 🎸👌
Once again, both pick ups clean is my favorite flavor! I miss the wiggle stick, but seems like a great guitar!
Yeah it's a shame it doesn't have a vibrato, something I've always liked about both pickups on p90s and Jazzmasters 👌
Nice. I wondered about it! Cheers
Worth getting one 👌💯
@@theguitarmanifesto Yeah, I don't have soap-pickups on my gear yet. 🤔
Awesome pickups 👌
Glad to see hands and fingers working. The stealth camping and burgers must have weaved their magic As Eric Burdon sang in The Guru 'through the lack of red meat my mind was goin' hazy. I looked at my guru and said 'man , you must be crazy." Eric went to visit the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with the Beatles but was back on a flight to Manchester the same day. Train to Newcastle . Beatles broke up, but Eric formed the band War.
Have you been reading my mind re the Mosrite clone by Harley B?
Ironically red meat makes my arthritis a lot worse 🤣 I've worked that out the last couple of years, I only occasionally have it not like when camping 🤣 no I haven't read about it?
Nice guitar and test drive!!
Thanks bro 🤘🎸
@@theguitarmanifesto You're welcome!🤘
Afternoon Rob that's a kool looking guitar.👍 Sam ...
Afternoon Sam, she's a real looker 👌💯

Tempted to try a HB jazzmaster
They're pretty cool I've had them on the channel before 🎸💯

I had forgotten about your kit build!
That one turned out great 👌
Fantastic! what are you playing there?
Thank you, one of my own jams 🤘
That body carve is called a "German carve"
