Harley Benton Jim Root Guitar - Unboxing/Initial Thoughts

This is the (unofficially of course) Jim Root inspired S Type guitar from Harley Benton called the ST-20HH ACTIVE SBK. It's an active pickup equipped strat style guitar with great potential. Let's see if it lives up to the hype...

great review. this seems like a solid and classy looking strat. can’t beat hb really. I own p90s goldtop and bass VI converted to a baritone and those are 2 of my favourite sounding guitars despite owning 30x priced instruments

hey man great videos and sounds!! After you modify it with thicker strings and change the setup can you do a video in that new conditions?

I wanted to try one of those, not got one yet. Great video.

I own one of these I can vouch they are a great guitar. I'm in the process of trying to do a trade for some black chrome James Hatfield EMG pickups I want to put in it. But the pickups in this guitar are good though. I also put Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinky's on this guitar they sound good but are a little Muddy with the current pickups.

Why do most of YouTube guitarists demo on expensive amps or plug ins that not all bedroom players Why not just plug in to a katana or similar

I read Jim Root in title and saw Harley Benton never jumped in a video so fast lmao 🤘🤘

@4:31, I see that you sir have listened Creed some time in your life. Salute!

Newby here - can you play this guitar without the 9 volt battery in it?

And what does the "Active" bit add, if I may ask?

[Icisex]

I just get it ..but pickups say:HBZ Custom wound …. I don’t see this on other Benton st 20 hh active anywhere

758 has some ‘splainin’ to do. I love Harley Benton guitars, can’t go wrong for the price especially if you don’t mind doing a bit of work on them yourself. Seems like a nice guitar this one.

[alchemysticgoldmind]

Sounds Great...but it's also your playing nice job

[MorbidManoeuvres]

thanks for the review, although it sounds a bit too muddy. maybe it needs some real EMG'S

[dudleyhamby]

I'm ordering one right after this is over.
