TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Harley Benton TE-52NA

The only ting that's cheap about this is the price. Construction is solid , had to file one or two of the frets as they were protruding ,but I've seen similar on Fender guitar . Sounds and plays just like a telecaster should,

I've used it for clean and overdriven/distorted sounds and it sounded great. I've played it solidly for blocks of up three hours and it was quit e comfortable maybe a little on the heavy side , no flaws in the finish. Neck has a satin finish and its probably not as good in my opinion as the TE-80 which I also recently acquired. The pickups sound good ,I honestly expected them to be the weakest link , but I'm quite satisfied with them.

I can't think of anything out of the box that in my opinion warrants an upgrade!
