The value in this guitar is huge for little money. I would have no problem paying substantially more with stainless steel frets, but this is what's available, so I may order one in this exact color, I think it's stunning! I love the color and how the maple fretboard matches the body! Thanks very much for showcasing this exquisite guitar Richard, much appreciated!
You always the first to try everything new haha how's the neck, it's like the plus version? Did you compared it to other guitars like Jackson's JS? I really like those JS22, 32 and 42 necks from Jackson
lol 😂. Not had the Plus but it’s a flame roasted which if anything like my previous ones with at neck, I didn’t like it. Fat as you like. The Jackson’s are skinny necks and feel nothing like this one. This is shape and thickness more like a fender. I like it
Amazing value for money. I have just ordered one; there ia a waiting list already now for these! I will try and let you all know what it is like when I have given it a test drive.
G'Day Rich 🤗... Yup... Think you have a... "G🙂😊D"... One here... Nice selection of Tones... I remember you playing your BulletStrat... Hope you still have it ! My BulletStrat HSS... had a whammy/tremolo arm too... but the guitar kept on going out of tune (wildly) and so I "hardtailed" it... (plenty vids online)... and... The Good News is that it stayed in tune after that... Never missed the whammy bar... and now... my young lad is learning on it... Have to comment (?) Fender necks are all "sweet" to play... and this Harley Benton seems same ? Okdk... Gonna put the kettle on and smell the coffee... Cheers !
That bullet is long gone, this is guitar number 211 🙈. Neck on this is a a 12-16” compound radius so very different to a fender. It’s a C shape enough and not too thick and it has rolled finger board too
@@thenovicenoisemaker BulletStrat gone 🥲... How sad, too bad... Onwards and upwards... The Harley Benton HSS seems a good replacement... Next priority (?) employment... Looking forward to your Public Announcement ! 🤔 Don't forget to tune your guitars... Only takes moments and the rewards are worth it !
@@thenovicenoisemaker Sigh.... BIG sigh... That Harley Benton ST-Modern HSS is a really nice guitar... but if mine (?) then I would "Block" it and turn it into a "Hardtail"... You admit you don't have time for the whammy bar and plenty of good 'vids' online... how to block it... Only took me half an hour for me to "Block" the BulletStrat and made a better guitar out of it... FYI... Did have a handy small block of wood and also taped a couple small coins together and jammed them in BOTH sides (after screwing the two BIG screws up tight... Took the advice of one 'vid' and placed some sponge over the springs to stop any vibrations... AND... most importantly... made SURE I did NOT brake the "grounding" wire, which can be a bit delicate... Here are some simple 'vids' which I would trust their advice...

my friend, very good video....I just want to buy this guitar, the st modern hss, since you have many harley bentons, do you recommend this one if I want a versatile one for various musical styles, yes, greetings

Thank you Dragan. The ‘Plus’ model has SS frets but costs another £80 or more I think. These frets are lovely though, well finished and well polished
Incredible value for money. Looks and sounds as good as any guitar 3 to 4 times the price. I am really impressed Rich 👍🏻👍🏻
Me too Peter, really happy with it
That sounds well nice, they really are putting some great instruments out :)
Thanks buddy, chuffed with it
Thanks for the review, just ordered the seafoam green HSS
Awesome 🙌🏻
Sounds good,looks really nice,I would have thought the price would have been double that 👍🏻
It’s crazy value for money

That’s a mad price for that guitar, sounds great and ( even though I’m not a Strat fan as such ) looks great too , awesome stuff 👍👍🤠🎸
Thanks buddy. It’s crazy good value

@christopherwatkins9729 this is hard tailed…
Almost acoustic clean tones.
Yes, it’s a lovely guitar
Amazing VFM Rich. So big question is, will it be round for long ?
Thanks Mark, yes I think it will 👍🏻

Absolutely, this can do a bit of everything 👍🏻
@@thenovicenoisemaker what harley benton your recomended please or better is cst-24t????
