I appreciate your reviews more and more. Extremely tasteful playing. I play mostly clean tones and you are one of the few channels that play a clean demo. I love your style!
I got a green blast one of these and I like the thickness of the neck although it feels slightly Squier-ish. The action came nice and low with very little fret buzz. The pickups are full sounding yet have great clarity. Its got a Chapman vibe which i like. The look really gets compliments at gigs too! Great demo your musicianship is appreciated 💯
As usual John another fantastic video and review !! I have got to say John that I personally rate you as the most dynamic and talented guitarist on TH-cam. You truly are the best .
I picked one of these from from Thomann to Colorado in 4 days. For 53.00 shipping. I love it. I have a Lespaul, 2 strats, a PRS custom 24, 335 and now im reaching for this 150.00 guitar because it plays beautifully. Sounds great clean or with drive…it is hard to believe its so cheaply priced… Great review as always Jon thank you!….
I'm not here because I'm in the market for a Harley Benton guitar. I'm in the US, so it's not the easiest brand to get. BUT... I'm here for the playing.😊
Bonjour Jon! I have the same in orange blast and I’m really proud of it. I bought it just the week of its release (2 years ago if I remenber) and it’s still one of my favorite guitars of my big collection... I full agree with you! Good test. Tank you my friend Cy
I have a question / curiosità : I don't like the pickguard , If I remove It what Is underneath ? Any holes, wires or Just the plain body ? Of it's the regolare body I'm gonna buy one
Jon this is the SECOND guitar I have purchased solely on your review. My #1 guitar review site hands DOWN! Beautiful demo and a thorough workout of the guitar's sounds spectrum. It's a joy watching you demo.
This beauty has a tone and a look all it’s own Jon. They sound lovely and individual. Much better than the Humbuckers on my Te 90 HH. The fretboard also looks nicer than mine. They continue to improve for and maintain excellent value. I Come for the wonderful playing and stay for the great company- cheers Jon😃👍❤️
Nice "au revoir" at the end! :) The more I watch your videos, the more I consider you as my guitar spiritual father... or brother! Haha 🙂 You are such an inspiration... even if each time I hear you playing a tune, I think I´d better sell out my guitar and go learn the triangle or the kazoo. Well, I guess I just need a good teacher. Thanks again Johnatan for sharing your passion with us in such a humble way.
I'm really liking these H.B./Thomann guitars, but I'm in South Central Texas, & the shipping cost is a bit more than I'm accustomed to ($82 USD shipping for a $129 guitar). I wish there was a way to get one from here in the U.S. Great reviews, my friend! Keep up the good work...
Fine demo and review. Isn't it great that HB have a guitar to match our hair colour now? 😉 I have ordered mine on the strength of this video. Can't wait to try it out!
Great comment at the end. I also own that guitar and what can I say?????? I oftenly prefer to play this one than the original PRS. The silky neck...... not comparable
FYI... I spoke with a rep as I was originally interested in the Red Blast and they confirmed they will not do another production run on it (unsure if that will apply to the others colors, but then that one did sell out quickest, apparently). Word to the wise.
I bought this guitar thanks to your video and Im so happy with it! The only thing is it barely stays in tune for more than 5 min at a time even after getting it professionally set up. Are there any tuners you'd recommend that can fit this model? Thanks for all that you do Jon!
I'm always so blown away by your playing....just as tasteful as it can be ! Do you do your own guitar set ups Jonathan ? I recently bought a (very heavy) HB TE-53KR Keith Richards Tribute and the frets at a bit rough...and I'm a bit leery to file them, and check the truss rod and bridge.
I have Many Harley benton guitars they are nice guitars but II hate the Roswell pickups I have 1 harley Benton with the Filtertrons. Love the sound. why don't they use them on more of their modelsi i.e. S typeor T type????
Hi Jonathan, this guitar is a ‘steal’ at the price. I, like you, were impressed with the tones, range & versatility of the pickups. Very well appointed. Great playing by your good self. Good review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜
I just got a really great deal on a used one today, but even brand new this is already a killer deal for the price. Can't wait to play it. I really love your tone. I know this video is a year or so old, but if you can remember would you mind telling me what your signal chain is? Maybe you've commented on it already, but I haven't come across it yet. Anyway, great job on the video.
I have this same guitar, bought recently. Yet somehow I don't sound as good as Jon. Must be the guitar, of course (insert blame HB here) lol. Wow Jon, those are just some great licks, man. Great... I might like this the most of your playing I've heard so far. The guitar really feels like a delight to play. Still unsure of the pups or if I'll just keep em and confine the usage to certain styles.
Hi Jon, love your guitar vlogs , I was wondering if I could ask your advice please , what is your favourite harley benton guitar you've played , I'd like to buy a harley for all round music , any help would be great , once again ty Jon ... jules ipswich uk
I love this model, but the super light neck bothers me, I wish they offered it with an ebony fretboard or maybe a roasted maple neck with a painted headstock that matches the pickguard
Almost every demo you make on Harley Benton guitars temps me into buying one I have three now I'm waiting for this one you have just reviewed it's in the post says Thoman Haven't told the wife about my new purchase Im in trouble again LOL kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF PLAYING X
Just realized...it matches your hair color! Great pick. Don't like the pick guard color. It distracts from the beautiful wood grain. A transparent pick guard would have been better.
i got a Red Blast coming within days..just needs to get past UK customs, i was having a few beers and watching guitar porn as usual, seeing you play this beautiful guitar..sold it to me..I already own 7 HB guitars in my 18 guitar stable..the 90FLT will be most welcome and loved..never had a bad guitar from Thomann, just had to tune it, set the action and intonate it, necks have always been spot on, here is hoping i still get a good one 😁 thanks Jon for posting this, i am a sub, and yours was the first vid i watched, but I still needed to check out other reviews to see if any problems other peeps have had 👍
Fusion-T HH HT (no vibrato) LH (yes, I am lefty) EB(ony) BlacK OR TE-90FLT LH (still lefty) VirginWhite This is the nightmare of a dilemma I am living right now. It would be my 1st "serious" electric guitar and I won´t play heavy fuzzy stuff. The 90 has way cheaper gear, no coil split option, but it sounds great to me, and it is 100 euros less... please help make my tired mind up! Thank you, Jonathan. Thank you, guys!
The HB TE90 is a great guitar if you want a telecaster that is more comfortable than the standard plank of wood from Fender, But not in that finish! i had a satin black guitar and had to wear gloves before picking it up! Best of luck with removing any finger marks Jon. Thanks for another great demo Jon.🙂👍
Seriously thinking about getting a guitar with filtertron pickups....this one has me intrigued. Do you have any other suggestions for guitars with filtertrons to check out? I know there is the Schecter PT Fastback that is similar and some Gretsch models that are 2-3 times more than this Harley Benton.
Hey Jonathan, I came to you by your test to the PRS SE a50e which I really enjoyed. Which acoustic would you recommend when it comes to a similiar more bright and less bass heavy sound? I hope for your experience :).
Can't wait to hear this Jon. I'm in the the market for an inexpensive telly so I can play live with out breaking my back.. with my les paul. Thanx Jon for the video...YOU !! ROCK Ofcourse THE LP will be my main back up!!🙂 p s. Is there any strap button instead of strap locks I could get for the lp.?? Thanx!
Hi Jon, you are playing just great as usual. But I have a case comment that already wanted to do during last few month. Now, I think it's time for this. Since some time that happened one day last year all electric guitars that you presented for us sound very similar. I do not hear any guitar specific during almost a year. Did you start to use some digital processor or pedal-board or amplifier that just cut a guitar specific? More than a year ago you had apparent variation in sounding, and I was happy to find anything among underrated and not expensive guitars tested by you. I heard definite variation between different pickups, body types, fingerboards, but not now. Maybe you need to use more analog devices in sound chain?
Thank you for your observation.. but apparently, you are not a subscriber or a frequent viewer of the channel. If you are, you would probably noticed that I have tried playing with different amps and setup on the guitars that I’ve reviewed. I don’t really know how you would arrive at the conclusion that all guitars sounded the same because they don’t.. the only thing that is the same, is me playing them. And that is probably why you feel the way you do.
I am a subscriber, but under another account. I am watching your videos already long long time. And no, no, since some time I do not feel a big difference between guitars on your channel. But I am using and continue to use the same sound chain and the same excellent Beyerdynamic headphones to listen you and other channels. And, also, you are playing and continue to play in the same absolutely beautiful manner. I definitely like it very much. But guitar sound got a kind of soapy, without particular guitar specific. Yes, it is still possible to catch some difference, but this is not so apparent now like it was in the past. As an example, I was very impressed how three or four guitars sounded in your reviews (I even have one because of you. It sounds on my hands like in your review. I mean sound specific.), but now, unfortunately, it seems like you are playing on the same guitar all the time. I did not want to hurt you feeling anyhow. You are really excellent guy, guitar expert and musician. I just want to let you know that something not good happened with the sound. And I would help you to be on the top of guitar and sound devices reviewers.
@@olegpechersky4579 like I told you before.. I thank you for your observation.. but I am doing my best over here to give you all the best representation of each guitar I review.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I read everything you wrote and I don't see the weight of the guitar in the description. I looked at the chapters of the video and there's no chapter called the description. Can you please tell me exactly where in the video is the weight of the guitar? Thank you
@@bennettscher hi there again 😉 So as you can see the blast series seems to be lighter than my "normal" ash TE 90 FLT. So you are still in the market for a TE 90 FLT??? Greets and go for it!!!
I like Harley Benton but the quality control is often an issue. I bought a Pro series (Harley Benton's top line) guitar that had a noticible blemish on the back of the heal which had been badly fixed, the 'Ultra Flame Maple' top looked absolutely nothing like the images on the website being okay looking flame ish but definitely not ultra flame in the slightest. Misrepresentation right there. The setup on the guitar was pretty dire height and intonation wise, needing a full setup. This on the Pro Roasted maple neck hsh ultra maple top supposedly top of the line offering form Harley Benton via Thomann. Really disappointed. Thomann offered me 30€ as a start with barely any customer service skills or dialog employed after an email complaint, I said no way and ended up with 65€ which basically covered the setup rather than have the hassle of sending it back. Still left disappointed. Felt like Thomann just churn out guitars knowing that some are basically duds and then just deal with it when they get a complaint. Rule of averages applied. It grinds my gears that Thomann always send TH-cam influencers a carefully selected best of the best guitars to review but send badly set up guitars that have blemishes to their paying customers. What you see on the website is not what you always get. The guitar is sorted now and plays well. If anything I'd change the Roswell pickups beyond that it's fine. I'd probably go Sire next time because of the quality control issues Harley Benton have on some guitars and the lack of quality control out of the gate.
You bought one guitar and decided that there's a massive quality control issue? That's like dating one person and saying all of them are trash. Or playing one game and saying all of the games that company makes are trash.

I like Harley Benton but the quality control is often an issue.
I bought a Pro series (Harley Benton's top line) guitar that had a noticible blemish on the back of the heal which had been badly fixed, the 'Ultra Flame Maple' top looked absolutely nothing like the images on the website being okay looking flame ish but definitely not ultra flame in the slightest. Misrepresentation right there.
The setup on the guitar was pretty dire height and intonation wise, needing a full setup.
This on the Pro Roasted maple neck hsh ultra maple top supposedly top of the line offering form Harley Benton via Thomann. Really disappointed.
Thomann offered me 30€ as a start with barely any customer service skills or dialog employed after an email complaint, I said no way and ended up with 65€ which basically covered the setup rather than have the hassle of sending it back.
Still left disappointed. Felt like Thomann just churn out guitars knowing that some are basically duds and then just deal with it when they get a complaint. Rule of averages applied.
It grinds my gears that Thomann always send TH-cam influencers a carefully selected best of the best guitars to review but send badly set up guitars that have blemishes to their paying customers. What you see on the website is not what you always get.
The guitar is sorted now and plays well. If anything I'd change the Roswell pickups beyond that it's fine.
I'd probably go Sire next time because of the quality control issues Harley Benton have on some guitars and the lack of quality control out of the gate.
Sorry to hear what you went thru.. but I never did have any problems with their guitars when I was still a paying customer ✌️❤️
You bought one guitar and decided that there's a massive quality control issue? That's like dating one person and saying all of them are trash. Or playing one game and saying all of the games that company makes are trash.
They should have called it Silver blast !
lol yea..✌❤
the pickups are basically microphones.
