Harley Benton DC-Junior FAT Review

Good guitar, but I only recommend if you know how to make adjustments. If you're a beginner, then you'll need to pay someone to do a setup, and there might still be quality control issues that pop up. Here is what I had to do to make it playable:
1. I had to re-solder the jack (after I made this video). It would randomly buzz like crazy through the amp...so I checked the jack, and the wiring popped off very easily. It needed to be re-soldered to ground correctly. It took me 5 minutes, but I kinda know what I'm doing.
2. lower bridge to get 2mm string height...but then the low E was buzzing...so...after I made this video, I...(see #3)
3. I checked the frets with a "rocker" (any straight edge that's 3 frets long...a credit card will work), and it "rocked" on the 2nd fret, so I had to lower it by pushing it down with a screwdriver handle...something very easy to mess up and go too far
4. adjust intonation...this is possible with the stock bridge, but it's not easy
5. loosen pole screws on pickup
I changed the strings to Ernie Ball 9s.
I'm using Rhett Shull's PodGo Present RS 64 Ace 30 with a Scream 808 Overdrive and the builtin looper.

I ordered from Thomann (in Germany) and it came to the USA and arrived in 4 days...remarkable!

Always trust a guy without a fancy light setup. Always.

[@DJParkesie959II]

What if the guy was a light bulb salesman? Would you still trust him if his light setup was not fancy?

[@TomaszGutka]

How much does yours weight exactly? You said it's light and it got me interested, but I need more details :D also does it neck dive?

[@justinbishopmusic]

I didn’t weigh it, but I’d say 6-7 pounds or so. The shipping weight was 8. Very slight neck dive.

👍🏻👍🏻

What’s it like for staying in tune ?

[@justinbishopmusic]

It could use a little nut work.

Change the push/pull to a push/push.....

[@CesarDainezi]

The frame rate is annoying.

Thanks, OBS…guess I need a more robust computer when I capture this way.
