@@mikemcg7724 thanks for watching, it's a guitar I find myself picking up a lot, glad you're enjoying it, cheers

@@PassengerMike-z7r a good deal 👍

@@MrMjp58 cheers, thanks for watching, I think they've gone for a very nice neck profile and was impressed by the quality of the fretwork too, will be reviewing a cheaper model soon

@@souljar__ thanks for watching, it's a hard guitar to put down, cheers

@ I’m running it trough a Yamaha THR5A amp via Bluetooth adapters. I’m hooked 🎶

@@souljar__ nice

@@sanirulhaque1370 hi thanks for watching, I guess you'd call it grand auditorium size, it is actually smaller on the rear, bridge to the back of the guitar is 16mm compared to the sire A3 I have knocking around (grand auditorium size) which is 20mm to the back of the guitar. Body on the bromo is 11 mm deep. For comparisons sake I did pick up a bromo with a solid top and laminated back and sides which I will post a review of when it turns up, cheers

@jeannedark8075 is it sounding like other all solid guitars? Since it's cheaper..

@@sanirulhaque1370 it's a very decent sounding guitar which is great to play, in fact it will probably be the one that gets taken out to do open mic nights etc. they do an almost identical model with a little less abalone, a more basic piezo and laminated back and sides for £200 I probably would have tried one if I could have found one for sale. The bracing is interesting on these as it has holes in it, I've never seen that before and it does seem to make it a very resonant guitar, cheers

@@jeannedark8075 okkk sir... thanks

Hi this is the cheaper version, solid top laminated back and sides beckettsmusic.co.uk/products/bat4ce?_pos=3&_sid=4ae782990&_ss=r

@@CFBeauty1 thanks very much for watching, I do watch his channel sometimes and what an incredible player he is, cheers

@@CFBeauty1 I saw his review and bought one straight away! it’s awesome!🙌🏼

@@deannemiller891 steel strung cheers

@@keithsnowdon8672 hi I'm just trying to be honest, no one pays me for doing this it's just my opinion. The guitar is solid wood and plays really well, yes I have a cort modern black and that is an incredible instrument beautifully finished in every possible way, this bromo is perhaps not quite as well finished but it plays and sounds equally as good, it is however around a third of the price. Yes guitars are good or bad but finishing quality may vary depending on price. It's a fair point. Thanks very much for watching, cheers

​@@jeannedark8075Thanks for taking the time to reply

@@Mdzlfkr thanks, looks very nice

@@BusyAir thanks for watching, will be working on in the air tonight cheers

@@1man1guitarletsgo thanks for watching, I'm really pleased with it, one of those guitars that's hard to put down, cheers

@@Thomas-xs2kq hi it came from the guitar store in Southampton, they said they can order them in as bromo also do a travel guitar which I may have to buy if it plays as well as this one cheers

Which store please

@MrUniverse this one came from the guitar store in Southampton UK, cheers

Thanks!

@@Alroofador thanks for watching, despite a few small issues at the start I'm still really pleased with mine and play it a lot, hope you enjoy yours, cheers

Thanks for watching, Sheraton is a nice guitar, I'm still pleased with the HBs and they're perfect for playing live, being close enough sonically but less of a worry if stolen. I have a Fender Wilko Johnson telecaster which although just a MIM is probably my favourite, cheers

I've not had issues with feedback and I really like the pickups, it's still going strong. The good thing about harley benton and thomann is they will replace it if you get a duff one I believe, thanks for looking

@@jeannedark8075 cheers for the swift reply I'm now one more step closer to biting the bullet I've got my eye on a couple this the and the hb-35+ hopefully tobacco but might be greedy and go for both styles as such good prices, thanks again for reply much appreciated 👍

@@westleypollitt8101 I still really like the hb 35, there were some quality issues but nothing that couldn't be overcome, pickups are fine though if it was your main guitar one might splash out on some slightly more upmarket ones. The thing I like most with the hb 35 is the neck profile and playability, it's not far off the real thing at a fraction of the price, cheers

Hi I personally like the split coils, the bridge humbucker is good. Some folk don't like the amount of difference in volume between the coil taps but for me it suits the way I play, the neck humbucker is a bit bass heavy but nothing that can't be eq'd without too much trouble. I've just tried to be honest in the review I do actually love this guitar and it's a keeper. Thanks very much for watching cheers

Hi I'll try and do next week cheers

Thanks for watching, despite mine having some quality issues none of those was insurmountable, I think the neck is exceptionally nice to play at any price point and was also pleased the pickups are pretty good , the bridge one is a little bassy but an eq pedal or just some amp tweaking will fix that, in truth a strat, a tele and a 335 are all I really need and with harley benton you can have a good example of each together for under £500 which in itself is pretty impressive, cheers

Thanks very much, the thing that surprised me most was the fretwork seems really good these days on cheaper guitars, I really like the hb 35, I have a much more expensive semi but if I'm honest they're close and due to the nice neck the hb35 is great fun to play, thanks very much for watching, cheers

Hi HVH - I was a bit hesitant, but bought the HB35 plus last week and am thrilled with it. The frets were a bit gritty, so I had to play it a bit. I lowered the action (1/2 turn of a phillips screwdriver on the bridge) and played it for 2 days before the grit was rubbed away (very typical of budget instruments). It is a gorgeous instrument and I am really glad i bought it. I got the lemon drop color.

​@@neilkorsgaardIm awaiting my Lemon..Im a total beginner so wont have a clue if it sounds correct or not lol

Hi, not sure if I was lucky but all frets were good and the nut cut well, just had to lower the action a little with the Allen key and it played great, lovely guitar, cheers

Thanks very much for watching, I just made these few videos to be totally honest about the gear, so many reviews don't quite tell you what you need. I really like this Harley Benton it's a lot of fun. With cheap guitars, to me they're either for beginners or for gigging musicians who don't want to take their expensive gear out. One thing that has been a pleasant discovery is that even on a cheap guitar, the fretting is generally very good these days, nothing I've bought recently has required any levelling of the frets which to my mind is the most expensive and skilled problem to fix. I'll probably just do one more video covering everything but a fret job, but it's good to know that you can buy an excellent instrument for well under 200 quid. Cheers

Cheers hope to add some bits after xmas

I like the guitar very much, this is not a put you off review, quite the contrary, the one I have had issues which once resolved made it a great guitar, one that I play a lot, cheers

Fret polish? With which product? Thx

I use a foam nail buffer for simple polishing Just the last two grades

Thanks for watching, it's a genuinely great guitar, didn't have the little issues you did but there is nothing you have to change on it, it could easily last someone their whole playing career imho as well as being a perfect beginners guitar, cheers

@@jeannedark8075 didn't really have any issues with it, it's just what I do with new guitars set them up how I like them. I am obsessed with shiney frets they have to be like mirrors lol. I learned to set up my guitars and do repairs cuz it is substantly more expensive nowadays than it was about 10 years ago plus it saves you money.

Thanks very much, glad it was useful

Those are very fair points though I actually like the single coil drop in volume but yes it is a little fiddly, I do actually love the hb 35 now and find it plays nearly as well as my much more expensive vox virage, thanks very much for your thoughts and for watching, cheers

Cheers, once tweaked it is to be fair an excellent guitar

Hi I still love this guitar , the te 90 flt, there is nothing you really have to upgrade and the setup was minimal, if you are new to playing it only required the action (string height) to be lowered slightly, this is done with the small Allen key, I usually do a quarter turn at a time on each string which means you can easily go back if you make an error. I had a te 52 it was a good guitar but bear in mind it is considerably heavier which can be an issue for some folks. The pickups on the te 90flt are really lovely. The thing that surprised me about the te 90 was it really has character whereas some Harley Bentons can be a bit bland. Best of luck in making your choice!

@@jeannedark8075 Many thanks for the advice. I do like the look of the 90 I must admit and the fact that it`s lighter appeals to me too. Best wishes from Liverpool.

All good choices for a beginner or more experienced player.

Apologies am away for a few days, will have a look when I get back, cheers

Hi the widest point on the horns is 28cm and the widest point on the lower body is 40 cm, after the struggle to set it up it does play beautifully now, hope that helps, cheers

Gosh, thanks very much, glad it was of some help, I really like the guitar and play it often, cheers

Cheers, it's a great guitar, I find myself playing it a lot

@@jeannedark8075 Just changed strings to 9-42's love it. Low E is at 1.45mm and high E at 1.25 mm and zero fret buzz anywhere.

Cheers it is indeed a great guitar
