TE-20HH SBK Standard Series : You get what you pay for...

This is a budget guitar with budget quality - which shouldn't really be a surprise.

Bad bits: Control cavity routing goes too far back, so that the screw holding the control plate down misses the wood and splits out into the cavity, meaning the screw can't be tightened fully... leaving the control plate slightly loose. (I have also seen this pointed out on other reviews on YouTube so it must be a systematic issue with the position of the routing)

Machine head screws on back of headstock not tightened down leaving play in the heads. The screw head for the low E stuck up by about 3mm and when I tried to tighten it, just fell clean off - I guess it was forced in by the factory which stressed the screw head.

Significant fret sprout and the fret ends are literally like razors (have a cut on fingertip as evidence!) Fret sprout has also blown a spot of finish off at the fret tang on one fret.

Frets are pretty low profile and very roughly finished so string bending is not the most comfortable.

Some screws holding the pick guard down do not bite into the soft basswood properly so do not seat down fully.

Pickguard is poorly made with some wobbly bits and one spot showing some delamination of the top layer.

Machine heads are poor quality both in terms of visuals due to rough spots from casting and function due to flat spots and play.

Good bits:

Looks cool from a few feet away :-)

Through body stringing is a bonus at this price point.

The satin finish is very nice to hold on the neck and easy to slide your hand around.

The neck carve is very comfortable - maybe slightly thicker than a Fender Player series tele but not by much.

The body is nicely done and the routing is crisp and clean.

If you are a beginner I would say stay away and go for a Squier Bullet which is a lot better finished for a similar price.

If you are looking for a donor body and neck to use as a project I'd say this is ideal and would make a great basis for a custom build... but be aware of the following points: You will need to modify an aftermarket pick guard as the control plate is slightly larger than standard. You will need to drill out the control plate holes if you want to fit full size pots.

You will need to replace/modify the pick guard and bridge plate if you want to use covered pickups as they won't fit.

In summary - if you don't mind putting in a bit of work and expect to deal with some issues then this is a good purchase. If you are expecting something that will not need any improvements/setup out of the box, you will most likely be disappointed.
