TE-52 NA Vintage Series : Value for money !!!

I had a Fender Baja and after letting it goes I was missing a nice T-style guitar.

Comparing both of them the TE-52 is pretty similar on quality (for the price of course !)

To make it quick:

Good:

- Quality, i don’t know if I’m lucky but I got a 2 pieces of ash body and the finish is really beautiful .

- pick-up (bridge), a good surprise and you will have the typical Tele sound that you’re looking for.

- price, I don’t know which guitar could have such a excellent quality/price ratio

Of course for this price you will have some “bad things”

- tuners, not holding the guitar tuned properly as it should be and will need to be change soon

- an upgrade regarding the electronic could be done (but that’s getting picky)

- neck pick-up is not as good as the bridge one

- the end of the frets could be a bit more finished but I found the same issue on other more expensive guitar.

To resume, im already ready to try again the Harley Benton experience with another model as im happily surprised with the quality. And after the few upgrades on the TE-53 in the futur ( tuners and electronic) I'm sure it will be an amazing guitar
