Re: Cheap guitars can also make it !
Cool, I came across your youtube stuff a couple weeks ago when I was looking for Lundgren tones. If you ever get itchy for new tones you should put some Lace's in one of your LP's. They both sound really nice but seem to fill the same spot tonally, like ones a backup for a certain sound in a live situation. Nice videos!

Re: Cheap guitars can also make it !
The thing with cheap guitars is not that they are bad or any particular level of quality - it's partly that the tolerances are greater to make manufacturing easier, so you just have to play more of them to find that special one that came off the line closest to spec. Add a few replacement parts to bring all of it into spec and you can find a real sleeper, a daily player.

I don't own one, but Hb gets a bad reputation from the cheapest of models they have put out through the years. I think that nowadays they have some dealings with the factories that make Vintage brand guitars. Here's one exsample Vintage Paradise model https://www.thomann.de/fi/vintage_v100afd_paradise.htm?ref=search_rslt_vintage_276052_0 and here's the Harley Benton version https://www.thomann.de/fi/harley_be...htm?ref=search_rslt_harley+benton+lp_363193_4 . Allmost the same guitar except the headstock. I think Harley Benton had some other oriental factory that made their models.

Re: Cheap guitars can also make it !
Totally agree with you man ! But they are unavailable in France or Europe....
I've searched for them for a long long time.
But customs fees are way too high.

That was PHAT! I never say phat but that was worthy of it.
The only thing i thought that could make it better is if you smiled a bit.

Re: Cheap guitars can also make it !
Nice video, as much as i like relatively cheap gear... I will pass on the harley benton stuff.

The guy in the video has his own way of reviewing stuff i admit. But it shows in case of that particular harley benton guitar in the video that they shouldnt sell that stuff. Its just wrong, so many things that are total garbage on that guitar. Truly unbelievable, they lowered the bar of whats made in the far east. I only own import guitars let that be clear, but hb just sells garbage.

I used to think the same thing. I've seen a lot of guitars since then.
