TE-62DB LPB : Very surprising guitar

This is my first Harley Benton guitar, probably won't be my last.

I'm not a super high end guitar player though I've played some belonging to friends. I've been playing about 20 years or so. When I first heard about Harley's they weren't spoken of very highly however I'd noticed they were getting some great reviews, after some thought and skepticism I decided to give them a try.

I'm glad I did, the item was shipped to my door in a week with no extra UK import charges, nice😊

First impressions were very good, no issues, beautiful finish and the hardware and quality are better than the big F's budget S range. Everything was spot on for me. Nothing really needs changing on this guitar, it's so easy to believe if we change things it will be better. It is great as it is, the tuning machines are very good as is the bridge and the pickups sound great to me. Out the box the action was about 2mil at that 12th fret, a little high but not excessive I took the action down to 1.5 mil by lowering the saddles and I loosened the truss rod half a turn for a bit more relief.... Bingo perfect. The nut is well cut and the finger board is very nice, it looks the same as rosewood to me. I've really bonded with this guitar and it's got me inspired again after struggling with fat neck epiphone 56 Les Paul that was collecting dust.

I really can't fault it at the price, it doesn't feel or perform like a budget priced guitar. It punches way above it's weight even the graphics and the headstock look really cool.

Harley Benton are kicking ass with this telecaster.
