TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series : Just lovely. A lot of guitar for the money!

Played guitar for the best part of 50 years. Took a punt on this after watching a couple of online reviews- I was not disappointed. Arrived in 3 days to the UK, Excellent communication.

The finish is almost perfect with a couple of tiny dust specks under the lacquer, but for this money who cares? Hardware seems more than up to the job, tuners work fine.

The strings needed changing out, which I would of done any way, the fret board needed oiling and the frets polishing. The action was pretty good out of the box, but there was a little fret buzz that was quickly sorted. The neck has a great feel and is very playable.

The Wilknson pups are fine, but not quite to my taste - I usually end up upgrading on all my guitars. These guitars are a modders dream.

In conclusion, a lovely guitar which I would have no hesitation in gigging. The price v quality ratio is unbelievable. The only question now is which Harley Benton model next!
