@@janspilliaert710 Hey, thanks! I wouldn't say he was presented though. Henning mumbled his name as I'm not a German I wouldn't guess that spelling. TBH I did try few of my guesses :)
What has been changed comparing to the "out of box" situation? Could you choose by Thomann the guitar for your review (among others) or it was sended by random as for any other client? thanks.
My teenage son is heavily into delta blues, being on a limited budget he opted for this one, when I picked it up the first thing was the weight, this thing could blow away in a good wind, the next thing was the build quality, more than should be expected for the price, the sound, for me it sounded cheap and tinny, when i metioned that to my son, he said that's right pop, it sound just like a cheap pawnshop guitar that you would find in the '40s, hating to admit it he's right, when you start playing delta blues riffs, or slide, the sound is as authentic as it gets.
$58 usd for those in the USA but we have to add on 30 euros for shipping. Gotta be honest, the tone is a little body sounding but I think it looks amazing for the price and maybe with better strings could be a good campfire/travel guitar that you won't be too upset if something happens to it.
Try just buying an abalone hole for 64 euro good luck with that. This mutha folka?seems like a great Lake guitar for sea songs the sea neck shape is perfect for shanty songs
I wish I had this guitar with me at the campfire instead of my Yamaha APX when a friend of mine walk on it breaking the neck... however it sounds great for the price. I picked up much more expensive guitars in the shops that sounded duller
@@FlorisApon A friend of mine was alle to repair the neck. The action after the repair was a bit high, but the guitar is playable and over the years even improved in sound. Later on I bought a second Apx, same model only different color. I left the old one in Italy at my parents place and I play it when I visit. The other one I bought with me in every country I moved to.
Impressive, @@enricofugazzi5206 I am amazed that guitar necks are able to be repaired after they snap/break like that. I have a Yamaha APX600 in old violin colour myself, I love that thing, I pretty much rescued it from the previous owner, adjusted and fixed a couple of things on it. I hope both of them bring you many more years of joy.
@@dathioz There is this old adage that goes something like this; 'Buying a Nkon camera doesn't make you a great photographer, it only makes you a Nikon owner'.
It is kind of mind boggling what Harley Benton can do for a such a low prices!?!? It's now 69e so I quess upped the price after this review? :-) It that Harley Benton headless model coming to you for review?
Both looks and sounds great ! I had a look at Thomann and the shape of the body looked very different in those picture, much rounder, looks much better in this video, maybe they have changed the design. Very cute cats at the end BTW !
.Tolles Video, und eine tolle Gitarre.Von der hab ich ein Video vor Jahren gemacht, nicht so professionell wie du Henning und damals war die Gitarre noch 5 Euro billiger.
How is this possible? Let me guess: Cheap, non sustainable wood? No or very basic environmentall standards? Child labour or employment close to slavery?
Could be, but HB have no distribution, marketing and sales chain. That cuts out several stages that other guitar brands have to pay profit on. They are probably made in the same factories as much more expensive brands. You're getting a wholesale price effectively.
Amazing sound! I'm tempted, but honestly would like to spend a bit more money. This is a folkguitar, (not a dreadnought), which would still be fine for me. I always have had dreadnoughts but they often sound a bit loud in the high frequencies. I'm thinking about a Yamaha FG800M which sounds a bit more balanced tonewise. I can already hear the subtle difference at the Thomann sound samples. Do you think The HB Custom Line is a serious competitor?
I've had this guitar for 18 months and it's far better than my Epiphone that cost 3 times as much. I know you didn't ask for my opinion but I would guess that an equivalent HB would stand up to the Yamaha and save you some money too.
This is different how from 90% of the product you buy otherwise? It's amusing to see how ignorant people can be on the origin of the products they buy online or in shops.
If you had a guitar shop and you decided you wanted to create an "inhouse brand", and went direct to a manufacturer to produce a guitar, and you took care of all the promotion, publicity, importing, distribution, you could save an absolute packet. Most Guitars are just Brand name and Snake Oil, strip all that crap away and all you are left with is just wire and wood.
Perfect ...a descent guitar for a teenager who wants to try guitar....lets face it....lessons will cost you more after the first month than what you spent on the guitar. Great time to be living as a young person where you don't have to spend a lot to get descent.....when i was a kid the equivalent buck spent bought you crap and the stuff that was descent was too much for the parents to fork out.
True, and if you invest in a 10-15 euro upgrade for a bone nut, saddle and pins it's more than decent for the price. And if you go really wild also have it set up by a luthier for 30-40 euro and it will not only sound good but will probably feel a lot better playing too.
Wow, where did you learn Spanish so well? German, French, English... and now Spanish... your multilingualism impresses me! Might I suggest you also learn sign language?
1) binding on the neck is a peculiar luxury feature for a beginners guitar, 2) any Mahogany guitar should have an 'M' in the name, unless you call it 'Elise' or something like that, 3) beginners often still have imaginary friends, so an imaginary pickguard will feel familiarly welcome, 4) you might have pointed out the use of a (graphite) pencil in tuning issues, 5) fret wizzardy on the 20th fret wont get you laid, so don't worry about intonation over there, 6) nice guitar, nice review, nice video
I baught this Guitar, play one day, and than i gived it to a frind, that i dont like. But: i must have an acoustic guitar, so i look for another dradnought. Found a Squier at 128 bucks - and its play more than like a gibson. But: für this tiny price the harley beton plays very good, of cause. Twenty bucks more, and harley beton had sell a better guitar.
If you want to sound better on a guitar? Practise more. A NEW guitar is not the answer. It’s nice though. The Mike the guest is proof . If Henning played a 64e guitar he still sounds like Henning
If I were Thomann , We would be pissed at this smastass review. Roseacre is not a cheap plywood ! as for the rest .,well maybe you should stand back and change seats.
64 Euros, wow. Tuning issues for beginners, hmm. Seems as if it tuned w/o issues the beginner would never learn the fine art of tuning a guitar. My 1st guitar (a single p'up, double cut electric ( Victoria brand? ) made in Japan circa 1966 sold new for $20 US. In today's economy that would most likely equate to $200. Now, truth be told it needed a set-up, which when I asa beginner with no one around to inform me of such, knew nothing about. All I knew was it didn't sound like the recordings I was trying hard to emulate. I chalked this up to my lack of experience ( plus the need for a guitar like I saw all my favorite artist play). Make a long story short the Harly Benton looks and sounds much better than my old Victoria, but I did learn all of the tuning intricacies as well as intonation. I disagree with you Henning that a beginner shouldn't have the nut problem that makes your example a bit difficult to tune. These type of difficulties will lead to a better guitarist and filter out all those that eventually will give up learning to play guitar.
It’s cheap. It looks good but other than that it sounds bad, has poor strings, tuners are crap, the neck is rough. It’s really only for a beater guitar and for camping. I would not recommend it to a beginner as it would put them off playing.
Ich finde es nicht gut, dass Thomann so billig Instrumente herstellen lässt. Zum einen darf die Herkunft der Hölzer als problematisch angesehen werden und zum anderen: Was verdient der Gitarrenbauer daran? Wie sieht es mit der Sicherheit in der Fabrik aus?
Stimme dir grundsätzlich zu: Die Fabrikarbeiter sollten auch sicher und in Würde davon leben können. Auf der anderen Seite werden am Markt nach wie vor Gitarren angeboten, die ihre Mondpreise noch nicht mal annähernd wert sind!
@@masprofx Gut, aber das mit den Mondpreisen hat ja hiermit nix zu tun. Hier wird immer weiter der Preis gedrückt. Streng genommen müsste der Musicstore Köln jetzt nachziehen und auch eine 64€ Gitarre raus bringen.. Dann kommt der nächste Händler, der meint die 60€ unterbieten zu müssen blabla..
Solange deine Jauchegrube von Heimatland abscheuliche Kriegsverbrechen im Jemen organisieren hilft, steht euch Krauts nicht zu, sich über chinesische Arbeitsbedingungen das Maul zu zerreissen. Und deine abenteuerlichen Mutmaßungen die Herkunft der Hölzer betreffend, sind so dämlich wie sie irreführend sind.
6:05 is one of the coolest things I've ever heard on an acoustic. This guy's an incredible player.
"it could snap off..... if it was an authentic american guitar" ---- SHOTS FIRED. AHhh why you gotta do me like that H.P.
Oh man what a great guitar! I bought it to practice on the acoustic side of setups. Worth every penny.
mavbe not only beginers, travel, camping, fireplace.... and latly start a fire. by that prise you can bring it some years in your tent.
Absolutely right
The pickguard will have come in the packaging. I've got the version without the pickup, and it didn't come preinstalled.
I'll buy it right now!
The pick guard is in the box you crazy fool!

Sounds very good. I'm listening on headphones and if you didn't say 64 Euro, you could have fooled me.
For the price it's a really neat instrument. I mean I can't even top off my car with fuel for that kind of money.
It's also about the guy who plays it ... And this guy is good
@@dathioz There is this old adage that goes something like this; 'Buying a Nkon camera doesn't make you a great photographer, it only makes you a Nikon owner'.

I have this model. They ship them loose in the box.
If I didn't have an acoustic already I'd be into their parlour style acoustic with the tree inlay! HB make great bang for the buck guitars.
Lost it on the "authentic American guitar" this probably never brakes" Lol love your bad jokes!!!
Sounds great for an $85.00 (in US) guitar! Looks great too!

64 bucks for guitar, 80 bucks to ship to the U.S.
