TE-52 NA Vintage Series : This thing is a steal!

I have been thinking about adding a new guitar to the collection & I didn't have a T-style. For the price, I thought I had nothing to lose giving this a go, because at the worst I could use it as a base to add to (new pickups, bridge etc). However, I am amazed at how good it is for the money. The finish is flawless (the satin neck feels worn-in & is really comfortable), it plays brilliantly, and it sounds absolutely superb - no need to replace the Roswell pickups which give exactly the sound I was looking for in a vintage T-style.

No negatives at this price point: you don't get a single/double piece of wood for the body, but I would not expect to. I would personally prefer a slightly more VOS type finish rather than high gloss for a vintage style instrument, but that's just taste. Overall I will definitely be buying another Harley Benton.
