Harley Benton TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series 5-stars Reviews

AWESOME for the money

This is a cheap guitar. It's a modern twist on the Tele with arch top, thinned edges, bellycut on the back, through body strings and a Gibson style bridge. Pickups are .... not the best but okay. Finish, frets etc all good.

it looks great

all i had to do is lower the action on the bass E string and i was good to go

Telecaster

Fantastic price playability and sound would recommend to anyone to beat this price and quality.

I prepared everything for the game myself

I'm happy with the tool, but... there are some comments.

1. I connected there is no sound in the bridge position:(

I fixed it myself, there was no contact and bent it.

2. the height of the strings is somewhat high near the nut

I also fixed it myself, there are plenty of different files :) and naturally polished the frets

And so everything suits me. Thank you.

Damn fine

At this price I was not expecting the playability to be this good, can be played right out of the box, though it could use some fine-tuning. Frets were roughly leveled, not crowned and still off in a few spots, but not bad tbh. Fretboard and neck feel nice but the finish is very thin and a tiny bit sticky, we'll see if that gets better or worse. Would be easy to remove and refinish. The pickups are not that bad either, they have a bit of PAF tone. If this is your first guitar, they'll do just fine.

Great T-Style guitar, and has a great platform to mod to make this a screem machine. But also plays good right out of the box.

Nice

Beautiful guitar for the money

2nd guitar for a one year player

Received this beauty in mint condition. It stays in tune over night, sounds clean and twangy with the dual Hb pickups, I have a strat with SSS setup and the difference is stunning. Really gorgeous to hold, not too heavy, and the design is flawless, the translucent black finish flashes the occasional wood grain in certain light. For a cheap guitar this is an excellent build, I would highly recommend.

Awesome guitar

Great rock and roll machine, sounds great with a lot of gain. Love the Tele look with Gibson Bridge and string through design.

Head turner

People don’t believe me when I say how little I payed for this guitar, I have had this a while now and done some improvements, locking tuners and iron gear pickups and a coil split tone control, I still haven’t spent much and this guitar sounds and plays like a £700 instrument happy days

Fantastic starter guitar

Fabulous instrument. This electric guitar has been perfect for my son to learn with. Ideal for young beginners. It's excellent quality and ls a fantastic starter guitar.

Perfect Buget Guitar

I bought this guitar as a replacement for a squire strat and I havnt been disapointed .. for the price the TE-40 offers qreat quality, good action straight out of the box, pretty good durability, the only slight comprimise is on the pickups if find them a litte micophonic and a bit dull on the body pick up , I find the best tone is achieved with the pickup toggle switched to center.. overall for the money an excellent buy I still use it as a backup guitar live and occasionally use it if i break a string.. It actually bailed me out for a whole gig recently... recomended for the beginner or as a live spare/backup..

More than worth it!

It doesn’t cost much and punches far above its weight.

Great guitar even if you don't consider it's price

The guitar looks, feels, plays and sounds so good I find myself playing it over and over.

I bought it because at 100€ and reading the reviews I couldn't go wrong with it but I didn't expect to like the sound so much. I know many people buy it and change the pickups but I really like the sound of the Roswell pickups.

It's a bit rough in the frets and would need to file them on the sides and the tuners are not the best but those are minor issues.

It's now one of my favourite guitars.

Ranks right up there with other expensive Telecasters

Everything about this Tele competes along with other Telecasters I've tried. But what stands out is the sound, overall build, and feel of the guitar when playing. For the price, it can't be beat comparatively speaking. Harley Benton makes affordable, solid, great sounding guitars.

Can't find a fault.

For the money I was very pleased with this guitar. I always wait for a year before posting a review as I need to be accurate in my assessment. All I can say is "Can't find a fault" and it still look great.

Unbelievably fab

Don’t sleep on this. Just buy it.

Tele on steroids!!!

I absolutley LOVE this guitar!!

The gloss black is flawless. The gold hardware is a beautiful accent and the binding as well. The pick ups are KILLER...it's a Tele on STEROIDS!! It has become one of main players and I have never been a Telecaster guy, but this thing ROCKS!!!!

Great Price Excellent Quality

I was a little scepticle about this guitar until I held it in my hands. The overall quality and just the sheer beauty of this guitar was astounding. I fell in love with it and so did my wallet!

Nice

When growing up we never could afford this quality instrument
