TE-30 BE Standard Series : Great vintage replica guitar

5 years ago

This guitar is amazing!

The ash body is very resonant and an absolute time-capsule to that vintage golden era of ash bodies made by a certain american guitar manufacturer!

The hardware is not the greatest part because come on, at this price you really cannot complain much. The neck has that baseball bat profile typical of the early 50's and both pickups sound decent.

Major upgrades would be the electronics (pots, switch and input jack) and the tuners. Maple neck is wonderful however the fretboard is very flat - it would be amazing if Harley Benton was able to to deliver at least a 9.5 inch radius fretboard. The greatest detail of the instrument is the wonderful blonde finish over the Ash.
