TE-90FLT SB Deluxe Series : The ‘“bang for buck” that keeps Harley Benton relevant

This guitar is excellent for the price range, period. Are you going to sell your Fenders? No. Can you gig and record with it? Absolutely.

I was lucky to receive a well setup instrument, which saves me quite a bit of time. With one exception: the pickup height isn’t ideal, and there is little or no adjustment available. (I will have to disassemble and see if adding height adjustment springs is possible.)

What’s good? Straight neck. Rather good fret work. Nice and resonant. Very good setup on this. Bridge is decent-to-good. I see no need to replace it. The pickups sound great, exactly what they are meant to replicate, though I’d like a little more height adjustment. Very nice paint job on this one too.

What’s not good? Plastic nut. (Often an easy replacement, let’s see how much glue is back there…) Typical scratchy frets that you find in this price range. (Easy fix.). The tuners are also quite poor. (Easily replaced). The jack, typical cheap jack. Replaceable. Will I? Not sure. Let’s see how it breaks in…

Overall this is a bargain and a welcome addition to my music room.
