TE-20 SB Standard Series : Good guitar
I have a Harley Benton HB-35 VB and it's a very good guitar so I decided to get the TE-20 SB since I didn't have a telecaster in my collection. I went with this model not because it was one of the cheaper T-Series guitars but because I liked the finish on it. I wanted a classic looking Telecaster.
The Good:
Impressive pickups, they're thick sounding for single coils, the neck pickup is my favorite, smooth with very good clarity.
Great neck, the neck is actually pretty beefy with a oil finish on the back. If you're looking for a really thin neck this is not it.
Good fretwork, there's a few frets that are slightly high but it's not even worth my time working on them. I adjusted the action to about 4/64ths across all the strings and there's no buzzing.
The Bad:
Three noticeable blemishes on the body finish.
High A and G string slots on the nut. I already fixed that.
Dry fretboard, I already fixed that.
Cheap pickup selector.
Verdict:
I recommend the guitar.
Update: The pickups squeal badly with any type of gain and volume, I don't think they're wax potted.
