TE-70 Black Paisley : Tele twang for not a lot of money!

6 years ago

Got this guitar about 2 years ago and I still really like it. As many years ago Harley Benton guitars were quite notorious for being unplayable pieces of junk, I was quite hesitant despite the numerous praising Youtube reviews. Still I decided to

pull the trigger and I am really happy I did! After plugging it into my Vox AC4/hw I realised why the combination of Voxes and Teles are often described as match made in heaven! I especially like the bridge pickup, which despite being a bit microphonic, as some other reviews stated, has a really nice twangy sound. As a blind person I really don\t care about the looks, but some of my sighted friends have told me that they cannot believe so inexpensive guitar can look so great.

The only little problem is that getting it in tune can sometimes be quite a hard task, but once it is in tune it stays there. Even after some hard neck bending, which is often associated with the Teles. So I'll probably buy some locking tuners for that. Yeah, I know they won't increase the tuning stability so much, but when the tuners are about to be changed anyway, why not make the restringing a bit more quicker and comfortable.
