Harley Benton Vs ESP

Comparing a Harley Benton ESP Copy to a real ESP E2 Eclipse.
Think this Harley Benton model has been discontinued, but this is the link to the up to date version.

Specs of the ESP

Both guitars tested through an ENGl Fireball 25 on the same EQ and gain settings.

Low-key the Harley Benton headstock would be sick on an ESP Eclipse.

You think the build of the guitar as a whole would make it a good platform for modding/upgrading? I guess a used LTD would suit that project the same though

[SethsHairyToe]

all my guitars are used, apart from my 2 harley bentons. (blackguard tele copy and back cherry flame les paul style).

Ive been looking at the harley benton victory randy rhodes rip off. Always outta stock tho. Any thoughts?

I agree on the used bit. Bought almost all of my guitar used. My bandmate bought a brand new ESP LTD Eclipse Evertune for £1500, I bought a used ESP E-II Eclipse Evertune for £1300. Both are great guitars, though, nobody would know the difference. Except me, I like my ESPs 😅 The HB is a brand I’ve never seen in real life.

I would change the Pichup to the Harlay Benton.
Build in the same EMG and redy for go 😊

Skindred! my old band played a few shows with those guys they are mental! Benji is funny as fuck haha great laugh. Never played a Harley Benton but i own an E-II EC 7 string and i put my balls on it there is absolute NO comparison lol but for £129 its not bad at all. That Engl sounds great! \m/

Looks like neck through construction on the ESP too...

[GavinMurrill]

The SC-Custom Plus EMG might be a little closer to that LTD.

[marcelcesargomes]

LTD (Ec-1000) is a good choice between… EMGs, locktunners (not a gotoh but also good), nice finish too

[sylvester]

Where are Harley Bentons made? Which countries, does anyone know, please?

[mercurymetal]

Of course the ESP will have a better tonal output, because of the EMG pickups. The H. Benton isn’t bad either. With a boost pedal you could get a better tonal output. It depends on your wallet. 😊
