TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Very good for little money

Harley Benton have done it again, a very well made guitar for a small price. First off the weight, really heavy to pick up but once you've strapped it on you barely notice it. The pickups are top notch though the bridge pup is quite harsh even at its lowest setting but you do get the classic twang associated with this style. The neck is niceand solid, didn't like the 'c' shape on my mexican strat so a bit apprehensive about this but it feels good in your hand. One change I have made are the saddles, I changed mine from the steel to brass, not convinced it makes a difference in sound but they look better in my eyes, maybe do the tuners at some point in the future as I'm not a fan of the sloyted ones HB use.

Overall a very capable instrument, could be a touch heavy for some people but I find it reassuringly hefty. Maybe the p/ups could be upgraded if you were gigging it regularly but for a guitar of this price you couldn't go wrong.
