TE-20MN BM Standard Series : Incredible guitar at any price!

5 years ago

I bought this for my studio as I was looking for a quality Tele-style guitar without breaking the bank. This was my first Harley Benton guitar and I was blown away by how good this instrument is.

The fit and finish are great. Absolutely no flaws in the body paint and the neck and fretboard are a nice smooth satin which highlights the natural grain of the maple. Frets are well dressed, no noticeable high spots and no sharp fret ends. Pots and switch are smooth, tuners and bridge are better quality than every other guitar I've bought at this price point. The pickups sound like a Tele, not much more I can say about that.

If I had to say one negative thing about this guitar, it's that the factory strings are not great, I restring every new guitar I get anyway so this isn't really a problem at all.

Overall, this has quickly become one of my new favourites in my collection.

Pros:

-great looking finish

-good quality hardware

-electronics work well (no scratchy pots etc)

-sounds like a Tele

-frets are dressed nicely

-great price

Cons:

-factory strings not great
