Guitar solo recorded with the Harley Benton SG. It has the best playability of all these instruments.
Exactly the same settings were used for all the guitars, and there is barely any post EQ, just a high and low cut.
All of these sound quite similar, (not surprising since 3 of them have practically the same bridge pickup), except the Harley Benton SG, which is very dark sounding, but I suspect that I need to change the strings on it, its been a while since i changed them, so maybe the comparison was a bit unfair. Also, when playing leads, the Schecter really jumps out and is more articulate than the rest of the guitars.
