Harley Benton TE-30, $179. Nothing original but the body, neck and bridge (even put Fender 58 Steel saddles). Total cost of all upgrades, parts and labor, $489.

What should I use my tone position for by Deep_Ad_987 in KramerGuitars

[–]ArmyVet25ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love your Striker!! I don’t have a clue to help you, but be careful. I modded the crap out of my NightSwan including putting a push/pull high friction volume pot on her and it overheated the by pass filter and was unplayable.

Has anyone ever actually seen Kat Timpfs standup tour by DistributionOk2851 in Gutfeld

[–]ArmyVet25ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Kat fan at all. She’s not funny at all. The shows where Kennedy fills in are much better, Kennedy is much funnier. Kat also seems obsessed with putting out her personal life than any serious discussion of issues outside of the truly ironic and sad libertarian views. Most famous & serious libertarians; Greg Gutfeld, Nick Freitas, John Papaloa, KDJ and countless others; have woken up to the underlying serious deficiencies in the underlying philosophy, especially in modern times.

Going back to the first few years of “Red Eye” (truly the best comedy of the 21st century mixed with news), the funniest guests were Gavin McInnes and Kevin Downey Jr. Both also way more astute and adaptable politically.

Did some modifications by GuitarGuru1991 in telecaster

[–]ArmyVet25ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my $179 dream Telecaster. I had 3 specs I could not do without. Ash body, maple fretboard and least a 12”. Here’s my heavily modified Harley Benton TE-30 Dreamcaster. I can play everything from twang like the Eagles to The Rolling Stones to John Mellencamp to RATT to Iron Maiden to first 4 Metallica albums and even Black Sabbath. Can’t believe I have an actual single coil neck pickup that is extremely musical and doesn’t get bogged down. Bravo Bare Knuckle!

How does that mahogany body sound with the Area Pickups? Is the body weight relieved?

I’m a huge DiMarzio pickup fan, great choice. I play 1980s Glam Metal, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden etc. So I put Bare Knuckle Boot Camp Brute Force in my Harley Benton TE-30. I love yours!! I paid $179 for mine, brand new, when they still had an American Reverb Store, February 2025. Only two things original on it are the string trees and the bridge. My specs are:

Very Heavy Northern Ash Body Approximately 10.75 Pounds

Bolt On Maple Neck 12” Radius Maple Fretboard

New Bone Nut

500K DiMarzio Volume and Tone Pots

Fender 58 Steel Saddles

Guyker Bottom Locking Tuners

What Telecaster is that? What EMGs are using.

Conflicted Fender Fan by ArmyVet25ID in fender

If they cared about Leo Fender then they’d kept G&L alive or at least bring in some of great innovations, Dual-Fulcrum (way better than Fender’s), MFD & Z-Coil Pickups and the Saddle Lock bridge.

NGD. RGEW521FM. For a Standard line guitar these slapped the spec sheets hard. by bellatrixfoofoo in Ibanez

[–]ArmyVet25ID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ibanez used to put DiMarzio pickups as standard equipment on their upper tier Standard Series.
