Don't know why I am going to embarrass myself like this, but I am going to say it... I can't tell if the guitar was a HB or some custom hand made single cut. TLDR, it just sounds absolutely fine! HB have done a darn good job at making these available to more people. Thanks Jon for sharing!

@@Hickeroar... That's so true. I have many import guitars and some are of great quality. Heck, I could get 5 to 10 of those guitars for what Gibson or PRS go for at almost the same quality. Imports just don't hold their resale value. Some imports are aesthetically stunners too. If you tried getting a name brand to customize your guitar... the price would be exuberant! Companies like HB, Firefly, are giving us quality instruments at VERY cheap prices! I wish they were around when I started my guitar addiction.

That top is flat out gorgeous, and the tones are honestly absolutely awesome. Ive actually been watching your guitar demos for probably ten years now, since you demoed the Harley Benton Rickenbacher inspired electric 12 string, and it looks to me like Harley Benton has made it into the winners circle of fancy maple top single cuts here, the tones are just so juicy, and your playing has also made a similar jump, just outstanding all around here. I would check this guitar out and I do have a custom shop R8 Les Paul to keep things honest in comparing .

That is a staggering amount of guitar for £250 here in the UK. Speedy edit: The Tesla pickups site does list all the relevant information (DC Resistance, Resonant Peak, Magnet type etc) but not an output in Henries or mV. Hardly surprising but it would be interesting to see exactly what's going on the under the hood.

@@JonIsJustTooLoud I'd been playing my 256 today before seeing your video. There's a lot of similarities and some parts and specs are practically identical.

@@John-il7uz John, I didn't say it did. I said there are numerous obvious similarities between the HB SC and the Ltd Eclipse guitars, suggesting they're made in some of the same factories. And I'm sure there are other notable differences too between these guitars than just the frets, since you brought that up and it's a good point. In this 'more affordable' low and mid price range manufacturers will save or make money where possible. While stainless frets have their good features it's not a critical thing to me and in this case I wouldn't choose the HB just because it has stainless frets. I'd consider everything and buy the best overall value. If I was in the market now for an 'LP-type single-cut' the HB SCs would be at or near my top of the shopping list for quality/value.

Minor changes from the Custom II to the Custom III. It got stainless steel frets for sure. I think the pickups are different. Tuners? I was hoping the upper body contour would change to match the one that the SC 550 has. Minor, but prettier. Thanks Jonathan!
