Turning a CHEAP guitar into the ultimate metal machine (Harley Benton TE-20 with Fishman Fluence!)
มุมมอง 1.9K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
My cheap Harley Benton was a fun little guitar but I wanted more from it. I decided to put $600 into it to make it an insane metal guitar. I upgraded the pickups to active Fishman Fluency Modern pickups, added in a push pull knob, custom fit pick guard, hipshot bridge, etc. Follow me on instagram: rileypaynestewart business inquiries: contact.rileystewart@gmail.com

    These cars shine with a bigger turbo and added fuel, then u can get a built motor and it can handle up to 600+. And everything is reasonably cheap compared to other platforms. Once I pay my car off I can literally just order a stage 1 motor and bigger turbo slap it in with aux fuel.. bam u have a death trap that’ll smoke literally almost anything for like 8k less than 4-5k if u build ur own.

    "Fast" is relative.. is it fast for a 4 cylinder? I don't even know if I would put it in a class of "fast" I own a 15' ST with the catless DP, full 3" mbrp, cold air, intake manifold spacer, throttle body spacer, access port with 91 tune. It doesn't hold a candle to the several Mustangs I've owned in the past. The only place this car has impressed me, is in the cornering, and the gas mileage. I refer to it as, "spicy" for a 4 cylinder. But I don't call it fast. I've owned fast, and this just isn't it.

    My problem with the Focus and Fiesta ST has always been the ecoboost. Head gaskets are hanging on for dear life in them. Ive seen sooo many with coolant intrusions. I want to say Fords "fix" during the massive recall was a new sensor. If memory serves there was a class action suite in the EU because of this motors design flaws. Sucks. I have really liked the Festiva ST. Was really considering one when Honda ditched the plan for a FIT Si. Then I read about the first recall and we started seeing blocks in the yard hand over fist. Family has an auto salvage business so I get to see what cars look like at the end of their lives. I have driven both the Focus and Fiesta ST. Have to say, the Fiesta was more fun. Planted little car even if it had rev hang for days.

      I used to get expensive guitars. I sold them all, they haven’t been very reliable and tbh my Harley Benton’s play better than most expensive guitars I’ve owned. Not that I don’t want a nice guitar, but I feel like I wouldn’t play it more or enjoy it more than my Harley Benton’s. I just don’t see the point in spending that much anymore with how good the quality is of some of the “budget” guitars.

    I have a '13 ST3...was considering selling and getting something a bit larger...but then you get in, drive it hard and it just puts a smile on your face. You're pretty spot on with the pricing too, a solid ST3 should go for $15K give or take, and the 1's and 2's for less. Don't buy an uber-modded one. Find an owner that gave a shit about it when they owned it, have paperwork for maintenance and mods, etc. Steer clear of R titles or salvages...they significantly lower the cost. Any owner who debates you on that...do yourself a favor and just walk away.

    So I played in a band for over 10 years and I don't recall my tuner ever making me play better. It may have made me sound better but it never made me play better. Come on dude. Seriously?? And I had three tuners throughout that 10 year period only because the first two weren't able to go from chord to chord. My third and final tuner, I could plug in my tuner and then my effects and never miss a beat with tuning up and playing.

    • @rileypaynestewart
      @rileypaynestewart 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Upgrading your tuners dramatically enhances your sound and performance by ensuring you're always in perfect tune. Even if you're not immediately aware, precise tuning has a profound impact on the quality of your music. Consistently staying in tune throughout multiple songs elevates your playing experience. Subconsciously, this inspires you to play better because your music sounds more harmonious and pleasing. Investing in superior tuners is investing in your overall musicality and audience enjoyment.

    • @ScottRock-mr6qk
      @ScottRock-mr6qk 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @rileypaynestewart Your performance is due to your time of practice. Practice a lot and you get better, don't and you won't. A tuner only makes you in the right tuning key. I know I played for over 17 years. 10 in a band and 7 on my own, learning the guitar and chords.

    I use a bit of Big Bends Nut Sauce. I've found it actually works a bit better than dry graphite, at least when used on a genuine bone nut. It comes in a syringe with a two different sizes of soft nylon-bristle plastic swabs that fit right into the nut slots, so you can squeeze out a tiny bit of lube, apply it exactly where it needs to be, and it stays there. I also use it on the string trees and I'll put an extremely fine film of it on the saddles, right under the strings so it doesn't end up on your hand when palm muting.

    Cool! I bought this guitar a few years ago and had a lot of mods done to it as well. First I swapped out the bridge with a Gotoh telecaster bridge, changed the electronics to have two push pull 500k CTS pots, new switch, Seymour Duncan Black Winter bridge, Seymour Duncan Distortion neck, graphtech nut, custom matte black 1 ply pickguard and hipshot tuners. Played like a monster in drop Db. Two weeks ago I took it in to change out the pickups to white blackened Seymour Duncan Black Winters and swapped over to a Fender Telecaster Baritone neck conversion. Pretty sick guitar but I'll need to dial in the tone to give it a little bit more brightness.
