Brilliant etc is personal Hand shape etc
Comment from : @Babysmack-ns2vx

I think you could make two strings on a log sound good
Comment from : @johncoltharp2572

Should ı buy Cort g110 or Ibanez grx40 (I am beginner) Is there much difference between the two? Cort is cheaper If you guys choose Cort press like button If you choose Ibanez press dislike button
Comment from : @abdullahsavas7862

I would assume that what you should consider is the type of music you are going to play or does that matter now with all the synthesizers and pedals?
Comment from : @Gregoriosplace

Great info I will check them out That "time bomb" display thingy in back of you is distracting lol
Comment from : @Gregoriosplace

I had a Jet and had to return it, the humbucker at the bridge kept breaking up I dunno if it was a Jet common problem or if it was the dealer who wasn't able to solve So I ended up switching with a Yamaha Pacifica since I needed a quality built guitar to heal :-)
Comment from : @ClaudioBrogliato

the sound of harley is bad1
Comment from : @vladimirivanov6353

Ritchie Blackmore used a Gibson 335 at the start of his career in Deep Purple and in my opinion it sounded better than a Strat
Comment from : @Cayres9

Great videoThanks! Now which one did you enjoy playing the most?
Comment from : @NickMantisContentCreator

Jet JS-400 I think is also the Donner 200DX Strat!
Comment from : @rodbrown8306

I woukd always strive fir a guitar beyond my means which meams saving
Comment from : @GerhardGeficky-jg4ok

Iam from Indonesia, your videos and views are great!
Comment from : @akbarrafsanjanialfaruqxiip56

Have you ever heard the SQOE guitar? In Indonesia right now, SQOE guitar the most guitar selling
Comment from : @akbarrafsanjanialfaruqxiip56

No beginner could bever/b make any of these guitars sound like this 😂 (I should know I'm a beginner, and everything I play sounds like sh!t)
Comment from : @LMacNeill

Your reviews are the best
Comment from : @misternobody1204

he was really playing the simpsons theme song with the first guitar
Comment from : @Lennekeeey

would u say the Harley Benton ST-62CC bundle would be good and value for money for a beginner it comes with HB 20R amp aswell
Comment from : @kareen-cm6pi

what would ur thoughts be on a Harley Benton ST-62CC bundle as a beginner would it be value for money?
Comment from : @kareen-cm6pi

What do they mean by this beginners I still dont understand R we mad paying more than 30k to get a begener guitar
Comment from : @MusicalBoys18

I really liked the look of SC-550 v1, that light sunburst that v2 lacks A shame they don't make it anymore, I'd buy this guitar on sight
Comment from : @LeadAndAether

holy smokes the last jet one that sounds amazing
Comment from : @Yapap1234567

Man has the first name that makes me want to tickle him and a last name that sounds like it could summon the Kraken I have decided to sit at a respectful distance and use my hands on a guitar he recommended
Comment from : @lexdemonica

What do you think about the Harley Benton's with the EMG's in them? Thanks
Comment from : @dunnigan66

Hi Elmo tok you're and others advice and bought a Eart sss standard and its as Advertised love it now by saying that im not a dude that will say its better than my Friends $2000 Fender I have $232 usd in it but I would say its as good as a Squier classic vibe i got a red one and it didn't have fret sprouts but I still have to take it to my guitar guy and have him do something with the wang bar flopping around dont like that only thing i can find fault with thinking about buying a Jet 400 real soon loved you're show with in on another video keep doing what you do Bro
Comment from : @TonyStir

I say it again: spending more than a 700$ on a guitar if you are not a orofessional is wasting your money
Comment from : @carlosalbertomunozgiron6089

And yamaha pacifica?
Comment from : @carlosalbertomunozgiron6089

Should I get the jet or the squire affinity?? Which is better
Comment from : @BladeRunnerJP11

what about Newen Stratocaster? is it good better than pasifica 012?
Comment from : @chiragsawajiyani8540

Ibanez imo is the best guitar you can get for your money next to Squier
Comment from : @GuitarLessonsMadeEasy

Wow, you really loved that HB Tele! There are obviously a lot of good value instruments out there Many thanks
Comment from : @robertbourke7935

Currently shopping around for a 'budget' electric, preferably strat in the HSS config But now I'm concerned about floating bridges so common among them I've no interest in trems, and don't want to deal with tuning issues just bending notesbrAre there no HSS hardtails out there??
Comment from : @outermarker5801

Great reviews dude I'm tempted to trade my 112v Pacifica 😂 can you recommend a guitar up from that?
Comment from : @GTR-Ovat

Dear Elmo - which one is better (or better for the money) - Jet js-400 or Sire S3? I've had Jet in my hands and I was very impressed but people tell me Sire is the one to go to Should I buy Jet or put some more cash and buy S3? Please advice if possible Thanks in advance
Comment from : @kerkuss

Hello Elmo👐, I'm new to the electric guitar scene and im wondering 🤔 should I get the Yamaha Pacifica 012 or the Jet js400 which have similar prices Planning to get a second-hand fender lt40s amplifier too
Comment from : @4dr_14n2

Would you recommend a yamaha pacifica 012 over a jet js400?
Comment from : @randoleonelrodriguezcastil3042

I like your tests an recommandations Keep on! Maybe the new Squier Sonic Strat HSS as a budget strat is worth to have a look on it Just a proposal for a new test!
Comment from : @ccl7077

Cort at 1:33 brbrThat volume knob so close to the pick-up, which is a Fender thing, is poor design brbrHarley Benton 35brbrHollow body has zero effect on tonality If the top warps, it will make tuning impossible brbrIbanez GRG121SPbrbrOverpriced by 50 or what you get (US$300)brbrJatoba fretboard is only slightly better than rosewood Both are far below purpleheart or Indian laurelbrbrIndiobrbrAgain, volume knob placement is terrible Cheap though You could buy if on an extended business trip and leave it behind for the maids having gotten one's full from itbrbrHarley Benton LP 550 v2brbrWhy spend that much for likely not great specs Pau Ferro freboard is a tad above rosewoodbrbrHarley Benton TE 62brbrWhy? There are super teles with more pick ups for less brbrJet JS 400brbrAnother terrible volume knob placement StratbrbrAlso, the fretboard is maple That makes it a farmer's guitarbrbr One can buy a Yamaha Pacifica for $20 less in the USA and get Yamaha build-quality And the Yamaha has a rosewood fretboard rather than the softer maple of the Jet
Comment from : @johnpjohnson1541

Hey Elmo! I'm new to your channel but already subscribed as I love the content and style Got a question for you I was given Cort G210 as a present to practice and learn Would you say it's a good option for a practice & beginner guitar? Based on your recommendations I also got the Roland Micro Cube as my 1st amp so I hope it's a good starter kit :)
Comment from : @MK-eq3ix

personally i have two ibanez a grx70 and a grx40 and they are very good, better than some squiers i have owned for sure
Comment from : @brozio77

like yamaha pacific(first guitar)
Comment from : @SUPREME_BAND881

Hi Elmo Except Indio (That sound very "hollow")are all good entry level guitarI have 2 HB guitar and are really goodbrPS: played by you also Indio seems a good guitar 😀
Comment from : @AndreaRedolfiOneboyband3480

Hello ! thank you for this recommandations ! can you say me why @16:11 you prefer the first version ? i love the version 1 color like you but what is a bit better too please ? i'm on the way to buy
Comment from : @dawoud8013

I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning of my guitar journey I love watching these beginner type segments a lot Because I think you can never have too much of a solid foundation Thanks for the great content, professor!
Comment from : @Aidenbro-s2k

So it is
Comment from : @gioigeniale6711

To start from 0 I decided for a hb st-20 €99 and mobile gear(apartment) If it goes well I am willing to afford an Ibanez next Yet, regarding the first guitar the cord g110 looks so good Thank you Elmo
Comment from : @frndschu

I've got an hss Indio and my only complaint is the neck is too thick Personally I'd go with the Ibanez if it's got the 75 inch thick neck at 1st fret The older I get the more neck dimensions become the most important thing to me
Comment from : @gamingwithmrgvil3511

As 52yr old starting guitar lessons & shopping for my first guitar, was brilliant video!!!!
Comment from : @JLaDrew

Hi Elmo,thanks for your honest share!I enjoy it so much and I keep looping your video since I am an acoustic guitarist around 7 years and now I want to start learning the electric guitarI feel struggle between choosing thr Ibanez grg121sp or the Jet js-400Which one you will prefer more if play the style is tend to Djent,polyphia ?Hope you can give me some suggestions:)
Comment from : @jungmou56

Came to the right place, great video
Comment from : @hugomartinez4482

1st time viewer Enjoyed watching you play as much as I loved listening You make playing guitar look fun (and easy) The little "Elmo" mascot sitting up on your Vox really sets a friendly, playful stage, and must make beginners feel a little less intimidatedbrbrThanks for creating such helpful content for the next generation of guitarists I bet you're a fun, non-intimidating teacher Subscribed to help boost your content in the YT algorithm
Comment from : @le_th_

What about the Harley Benton fusions?
Comment from : @binarytrash

I have an Eart Strat Beautiful roasted neck and mahongany body I have zero fret issues either being high or catching the high E string I fell in love at first sight and the feel is exactly what I was looking for Eart covers some serious detail for a budget guitar; bone nut, staggered pick ups, compound radius, stainless steel fretsdown to an embossed logo on the injection molded foam case the guitar is shipped in That alone is extremely high class I hope Eart eventually gets the recognition they deserve In my opinion, they are doing one heck of a job offering such a great guitar to beginners
Comment from : @drummer4hire12

Thanx for this Elmo, my only objecton I have about this is an biggie that makes this somewhat dubiusbrbrIs that YOU ARE TOO GOOD AND MAKE AN TOTHBRUSH SOUND SUPERGOODbrbrDAMN MUMINTROLL 😆👍
Comment from : @PXR5-PXR5

what is the music at 2:30?
Comment from : @LotmineRu

Nice thing about the Indio is a full block tremolo will fit it It just barely fits but still fits That and some locking tuners and you got a little weight on that thing My big problem with lite guitars is that they feel cheap But something about that Indio is easy and fun to play
Comment from : @Michael-jv2cn

I own the three of the HBs of the video (semi hollow, single cut and TE) and I love them… even better, my TE is the 20, less than 90€ and is an absolute beast I have just changed the TE pickups por a 25€ Chinese alnicos brbrOnly one comment, I had to send the semi hollow for small problem in the bridge and it was covered by the warranty brbrI also own a HB Strato, but there I went to the deluxe series because the basics ones are not really good
Comment from : @juanbarre

I love these “X Best” type videos, even if I’m not currently shopping for guitars Regarding Harley Benton, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a love/hate scenario for a brand (other than Gibson 😉) Some say they are GREAT, and some say they are TRASH There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground But… I’ll take your word for it As a professional with no hidden agenda or prejudice, you da man
Comment from : @norseman61

Can u do a Jackson js32t randy roads review, it's cheap and haven't heard of any bad reviews about iteg fret sprouts or bad workmanship Maybe u can find some fault in it like Yngwie would BTW love ur facial expression, when on purpose u play the wrong notes on popular song! In my books ur much better guitar player than most of the bands today even the oldies like kirk hammet or slash and all the the other rubbish we get today hiding in heavy distortion and editing Thank u so much for the ur time & money u spend on every video!!! Really appreciate it elmo Keep up the good the work!!!!!!!
Comment from : @johnjey297

Thanks Elmo This video shows that a great player can make a budget guitar sound like a pro-grade instrument
Comment from : @Bad-Mister-Frosty

Excellent compilation yet againI'm not a les Paul or a tele lover always been a Strat lover love thd Cort head stock if the yamaha pacifica had that headstock I get it as I'm not fan of the yamaha headstock I've heard the crafter cruiser strats are good too ? Have you reviewed one of those ?
Comment from : @David-u7l5w

They change the PU's from roswell alnico5 style paf to tesla opus-3 paf in SC550II version and tesla makes greit pick ups gotta say that dimarzio/SD tone for half of the price
Comment from : @88Nyman

Jet 🙌
Comment from : @thelolguy007

Fiendishly great reviews, Elmo I love your videos You make them very entertaining and fun with honesty, sincerity and thought Thanks!!
Comment from : @JayHennigan

Can you review the harley benton sc-450 plus?
Comment from : @AR_PZ_BEATS

Thank you very much for this interesting and detailled video 😊
Comment from : @catch_this_mirage6564

i have to add one more for beginners the squier sonic mustang
Comment from : @DelvunShadowheart

well I have 7 Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs, all best to me, just about 300€: a ridiculous pricetag for my favourite neck profile n very nice neck pup!!
Comment from : @kimmolingonheimo

Pls make a video for best gitars next level after beginner 🤟what you think weher is the biggest difference when u go up and up in price worth it ?
Comment from : @Icisex

Does scale length matter for a beginner? Would it be better to begin with a 2475 scale or 255 scale?

The End of Expensive guitars
Comment from : @tringamonga2024

This combined with your video about what not to buy for beginners should be mandatory viewing for parents/grandparents before the holidays!brbrGreat Stuff! Thanks for these in-depth topics
Comment from : @tweakrr99

if this man says "seriously good" you buy it
Comment from : @w4hir

I own a very vast guitar collection with 40 being older guitars made in the 50's 60's and some 70's and that should make me a vintage snoband yet I just LOVE affordable guitars 🙂🙂brIt's amazing what you can find these days for not too much money, quality and sound are easily as good as anything that would have cost 5 times the price many years ago, and if you upgrade hardware and pickups/wiring you'll end up with something unique and really nicebrI won't tell how many guitars are in my collection but it's getting really big at this pointbrIt's not my fault 😄😄 these affordable guitars are so good I just can't resistbrExcellent video, very helpful and informativebrMy latest acquisition is a Harley Benton DC-60 ( SG Junior ) in Polaris white
Comment from : @jeromewagschal9485

Speaking of budget guitars I had a Mexican player Series fender for some reason I didn’t like the way it felt so I sold it and I bought an affordable squire 40th anniversary vintage style Stratocaster and that’s who feels way better and it was on special for 299
Comment from : @rogelioybarra4068

ibanez grx40 or JET js-400? please answer i want to buy my first guitar!!
Comment from : @pavel2838

Great guitar for budget thanks 🙏 you 😊
Comment from : @keovongvilaykeo4799

Glad i bought the Jet JS-300😛
Comment from : @CloseToTheEdge89

This price range is dominated by Harley Benton, Jet and Fazley pretty muchbrThere is a lot of choice between the three brands, none of them are bad
Comment from : @Vhagn

I was beginning to think you'd missed my guitar out before you got to it last,the Jet JS400 An absolutely brilliant guitar and one which even amazed my tech when I got it set up by him,as I do with any guitar I buy Even with a thinner neck,which I dont usually like as I'm more of an acoustic player,it is still a superb guitar You didnt mention the Jet Tele version and I have that too,but I want to love it but just cant It's a beautiful guitar but I find the neck far too skinny personally for my tastes I do fancy the HB 35 as I've always wanted a semi hollow in that style but I am a bit put off by a cheap acoustic I bought from Harley Benton which was a really cheap and nasty thing Thanks for the reviews Elmo I think you are a great guitar player but I don't share your love of that heavy stuff,which seems to be remarkable popular in Finland and the whole of Scandinavia
Comment from : @skintslots

Great video again 👍🏻 so I play classical guitar and it’s always best to buy a used guitar because they always sound better I’m looking at purchasing electric guitar and ampDoes this apply to electric guitars Could you do a video on used guitar For example ones that cost £400 to £600 new A bit subjective 😊 👍🏻

Hi there Elmo Greetings from Portugal When you exchanged the pickups from your harley benton SC-550, which ones did you went for? Thanks and all the best
Comment from : @nelsonsilva9602

Nice review and demo
Comment from : @dalejacksonmo

I picked up an Indio HSS Strat on sale for $80 from Amazon US, partially based on your earlier review, and have never regretted it Swapped the bridge for a Guyker that has a push-in arm It really sings, and stays quite well in tune, even with trem use I think it could give the original 1950s Fenders a run for their money! Thanks for your comprehensive and honest reviews!brNot sure if you mentioned in your review that the HB SC-550II has SS frets; that is a real plus at this price point I have the Black Cherry version in my sights - really wished I could get the European prices here in the US!
