TE-62CC LPB : Incredible Quality At An Unbeatable Price

I had wanted a Telecaster-style guitar but did not want to fork out a ton of money after having a negative experience with both a Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster and a Fender Player Stratocaster. I had heard that there were QC issues with Harley Benton in the past, so I kept my expectations realistic. However, once I opened the packaging, I was blown away. The fit and finish, the satin feel of the neck, and the pickups were all on par with guitars that cost over three times the price of this one.

In my opinion, as the owner of a few Gibsons, Fenders, and higher-end Squiers and Epiphones, this definitely sits between a Squier Classic Vibe and a MIM Player Telecaster in terms of playability and feel. If you're on the fence, get one. The only minor issue I had was a slight intonation adjustment out of the box, but that was it. Zero fret sprout, very clear and punchy pickups, and an incredible finish at a fraction of the cost of its higher-end counterparts? I was a sceptic based on numerous YouTube reviews, but now I am sold on Harley Benton!

If you're on the fence and are looking for a telecaster-style guitar but don't want to spend over three times the amount, just do it. You'll be pleasantly surprised! One bit of advice if you're having this guitar shipped overseas; let the guitar acclimate for at least an hour; you'll thank me!
