  • Bought two guitars... late night browsing...

    Hi, not sure when I'll get these... was browsing the internet and went down a rabbit hole and ended up on the Thormann website. Not only do they have super crazy cheap guitars but they seem to have name-brand guitars at really good prices (Lizzy Hale Explorer was only $550). plus, they have excellent prices for cases and bags. PLUS they have a $33 shipping fee for the entire purchase... I dunno... I might never see these guitars, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

    Plus two cases and shipped to USA for $400. Worst case I don't like them and can sell them locally for $150 each. I'll be sure to report out once I get them.

    Anyone have experience with Thomann or Harley Benton?

        Is the SG meant to be that colour or is my monitor f***ed?

          I have heard nothing but rave reviews about most Harley Benton guitars (especially the Indonesian ones) for numerous friends and youtube reviews.

            It is supposed to be vintage white, or cream. The Epi version is more yellow:

            The Gibson is more subtle.

              I have a friends with an HB - he replaced some guts, but solid guitar.

                That's much nicer. Maybe in a different light, the HB looks brighter, less "brown".

                  I read the same. Jeez. For $140 for a set neck guitar, hard to beat. We will see if the hype matches the reality. Plus, what else do I have to do anyway!?

                    Bought guitars on Friday 3/20. They shipped today according to Thomann. Let's see how long it takes!

                      aw shouldn't be long, then they hung on to mine for almost 2 weeks before shipping


                      oh wait it went to shipping
                      then languished there for two weeks

                        Just got notice that the packages cleared customs in Chicago yesterday. So they are in the USPS system. Hopefully will see an update tomorrow. My guess is it goes to NYC tomorrow, then into CT and finally to me. Maybe by Friday I'll have them? Bought them on 3/20 so not too bad.

                          I've heard good things about the HB guitars. Curious what your feedback is on them.

                            I've got a HB 1x12 cab (with a Celestion V30) from them. It was cheaper than buying only the speaker...

                            Cabinet for Electric Guitar Equipment: 1x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, Power rating: 60 W, Impedance: 8 Ohm, 18 mm high-quality poplar plywood housing, Half-open rear wall, Rearloaded, Trim strip, Carrying handle, Dimensions (W x H x D): 460 x...


                            And it turned out that the build quality of the cab is quite good. Crazy deal!

                              Yeah a Celestion-filled cab is like $150 shipped to the US... how?
