I’ve been guitar shop today an nothing tickled my fancy at what I could afford. I’ve then come home went onto Thomson and ordered myself a Harley Benton HB-35plus for £205 

I like it in read and I like the hollow (or semi-hollow) body. Everybody says Harley Benton are very good value but you have to change a few parts and possibly take care of the frets. I don't know them from experience though. I was tempting by a Cabronita replica but in the end I didn't buy it because I couldn't be bother with upgrading it. Still I have a Harley Benton power supply and it works very well. Good luck with your new guitar.

It's gonna work you're doing well. I really love the shape of the latest one.

Bloody hell, you're unstoppable! Good luck with your new project.

Gorgeous!

Well i got to tinker with it this weekend and i followed your instructions.. Thanks frank you are a gem!.

 

Don't mention it! And keep rocking with that beauty!

I'm sold by Mr Glyn's.

You're welcome. Keep me posted.

Ok I see the problem now. It has to be fixed or it's gonna ge worse.

The jack is held in place by a nut, this nut probably went loose

You can access the nut from the back of your guitar

Find the plastic cover that corresponds to the position of the jack

Remove the screws and open the tray

Now you should see the inner side of the jack and the nut that went loose

Tighten the nut and you're done

Ps this instruction should be correct, however I'm not sure what is the exact model of your guitar. Also you may find a youtube tutorial to guide you if needed.

Hi can I see a couple of pictures?

Hi Tom,

good to have you here. I hope you enjoy the ride! 

I could actually do with some advice since you're a pro. My guitar fell the other day and the neck broke in two pieces. Now I fixed the problem with some sellotape but intonation isn't perfect any more. What did I do wrong?

I think this is the style I'm going to use...........  

It's very good man, keep up the good work.

PS the price range should indeed be around £200. For less the sound ok but they are not durable.

I only play with headphones, it's my choice, and I have some experience. I have an Audio-Technica model (not sure which one, but I can let you know if you're interested) that has incredibly positive reviews. There are a few things designed for guitars, boss makes a wireless model, quite pricey, etc. but any decent headphones will get the job done. The major concern IMO is to get something with a good fit, because you may be find yourself playing for long. So anything for gaming etc will do, trust me.

Hi everyone,

I'm putting together a list of the best shops to buy guitar parts, for future reference and for the community. This is what I have so far, please let me know if you know any other good shops.

My gosh!

80's 70's and 60's !

Am I the only one who started the day before yesterday?

Welcome!

You've got good memory, I couldn't say if I played yesterday

Hi welcome What guitars are those? I love the one with a single pickup.

Welcome, it's good to have you here. This is a truly amazing forum, you'll love it

Ted Greene

Mike Stern

and myself (one day)

Tnx. It's not bad at all but your is better, the turquoise is so classic. Also the coloured headstock is not amazing IMO.

Have you got a link for the green one?

Didn't know about that

I kind of prefer the Elite myself because I feel that with the Ultra they went a little too far. I haven't seen one yet though, so I'll save my final judgment for the future. Great guitar and good luck with your sale.

Hi there, is this turquoise Tele an Ultra model or what? Absolutely stunning.
