• Pickups: HH

The electric guitar by Harley Benton, It has active pickups, which means that in addition to the coil, which is responsible for "translating" the movement of the strings into an electric signal, they also incorporate a preamplifier circuit in their construction. For this reason, they require a battery (usually 9V) to operate. Their advantages compared to passive pickups are that they almost eliminate noise and have a high output signal, resulting in a fairly clean and "full" sound.

The arrangement of the pickups equipped on the guitar is HH, which describes the number, position, and type of the pickups. Specifically, the combination of the letters H and S stands for humbucker and single, respectively. For example, if we have an HSS pickup configuration, then the guitar has 1 Humbucker pickup and 2 Single coil pickups. Additionally, the order of the letters determines the position of the pickups, with the first letter representing the bridge position, the last letter representing the neck position, and the middle letter, if present, indicating the middle position. However, if the configuration has only one letter, then the pickup is usually placed in either the bridge or neck position.

Finally, the bridge of Harley Benton is fixed. The bridge, or saddle, is the part where the strings start from the body of the instrument and go towards the tuning keys. The strings simply pass through the metallic frame that resembles a bridge, which is screwed onto the body. Changing strings is simple and quick, and does not require any special attention.

    The Harley Benton EX-84 Modern Black is good for extreme metal if you don't have any money. Otherwise, buy Solar (for a full frequency spectrum) or Schecter (with enhanced high frequencies, but worse bass than Solar). If you play sweet solos, you are on the completely wrong page; buy the PRS Santana SE. If you only play extreme fast solos without rhythm and medium speed riffs, buy Ibanez. Regardless of the genre you prefer, definitely buy the essential distortion pedal REVV G3.

    Don't be lazy to search in stores.
    You will find cheap guitars from the best brands I mentioned before.
    Laziness comes at a cost.

    For cheap and less noisy electric guitars, look for the Cort ones priced at 145 euros.

    If you tune the bass strings slightly lower, the middle strings exactly in tune, and the treble strings slightly higher, they will sound more harmonious (When tuning, it is better to tune based on all harmonics and not just the fundamental. The bass strings have their harmonics higher than the ideal position, while the treble strings have their harmonics lower than the ideal position. There are books about piano tuning that reveal that strings are not ideal and have deviations. This knowledge is especially useful for very cheap instruments. We are talking about very fine manipulation - differences of hundredths of a semitone. The differentiation of tonal deviations should open up like a fan, with the middle note perfectly in tune, and gradually increasing deviation as the notes move away from the middle pitch. See How Music and Mathematics Relate, The Teaching Company Great Courses.)
