No, stay strong! It is a great guitar though 😉 Lots of mojo and it plays and sounds awesome. I'm not trying to sway you here by the way, just letting you know my thoughts 😉
Nice, hope you're not waiting too long on that! I've seen those Westfields online but never tried one... £40 is unheard of cheap these days! I'd expect the HB to be head and shoulders above it, but you never know 👍
Good Friday evening, dear friend. Thomann makes very good guitars under the HB brand (not only), besides the Stratocaster, I have two others, they are amazing for their price. The presentation was very successful again. Greetings to you Pavel CZ.👍👍👍🎸
ST Modern has to be the definitive budget modern strat. It beats my Jet JS400 on price (by a little), and adds rounded fret ends, compound radius, locking tuners, spoke wheel truss adjustment and cast saddles. Front face jack plate vs edge jack is a matter of preference, I find front face actually better for playing seated. It's a really nice deal.
I've got a TE52 in natural ash and absolutely love it. The TE62 is very similar but I'm not a puce green fan! The ST modern is the best value and most versatile here, no doubt. The off-set is not my thing but has a very nice weighty bottom end and suits heavier stuff well. They are all good value, as demo-ed and it boils down to what looks and sounds you want. However, I was surprised how well the TE62 stood up in this comparison with its generally brighter thinner sound!
Ooh, good question! Well, I think most people associate Billy Gibbons with a Les Paul, so if you're after a Harley Benton style one on this sort of budget, this one could work (yep, I know it's currently out of stock, but it's a great choice!): thmn.to/thoprod/362628?offid=1&affid=1250
I have the TE-62cc SFG. I don't want another guitar in the same colour. Why can't they just make a fiesta red ST Modern? I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Heck, at the very least make a black version and an olympic white version (with a white pickguard). It's insane that we can't get none of these guitars in classic colours. That goes for the TE-62cc as well. No butterscotch blonde version.

Fantastic review !
Thanks a lot!
JA-60CC looks superb! The neck and inlays very impressive, must not buy any more guitars this year! :P
No, stay strong! It is a great guitar though 😉 Lots of mojo and it plays and sounds awesome. I'm not trying to sway you here by the way, just letting you know my thoughts 😉
👍👍 Got an ST Modern on back order - bought a £40 Westfield E1000 Strat to tide me over until the HB arrives!
Nice, hope you're not waiting too long on that! I've seen those Westfields online but never tried one... £40 is unheard of cheap these days! I'd expect the HB to be head and shoulders above it, but you never know 👍
@@RichWordsMusic At THAT price, it's got to be a GSO only!

I dont care what is the best, I want them all!❤
This is always the correct answer!
They all WORK! \m/
They do indeed!

Puce is brown purple, nothing to do with green.
@kirkhunter146 So it is! Puke green then! Or mint green 🙂
The st modern hss is better guitar ??? Great video ....bro
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The ST-Modern is such an incredible guitar for the money...
I got the st modern.. if it said charvel on the Headstock and cost 759, I wouldn't doubt it. No joke.
Who says I have to just have one? I have the ST-Modern and JA-25th. I guess I have to order the TE-62.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks my friend!
What about the Harley Benton R446?
That's also a great value for money guitar!
telecaster🥵💙
It's a beast of a guitar for sure!
ok, question, If I want to play zztop, what guitar do you recommend?
