Harley Benton TE-20 SB Standard Series 5-stars Reviews

It's cute and cheap and lovely

Bought this as my reward for giving up smoking. Didn't want to pay big bucks, I just wanted something I could plug in and make a bit of noise. I've been playing forty years and I have far more expensive guitars from Martin and Ibanez, but nothing I can pick up and not worry about dinging it. It's along time since I played a tele of any sort, but they just sort of fit you like an old pair of boots.

The finish is great, the hardware works and the pickups give a decent tele sound with some good bite. I'll change them at some point for a split coil hummer and a more powerful bridge pup, but for now they'll do.

To summarise, it's a nice guitar, quite heavy but balanced, perfectly playable neck, decent sound, classic looks and all for ¤89. If you complain at that, you obviously haven't played the amount of sh*t guitars I have over the years. Grab a bargain, turn it up to the max and have some fun.

Great deal

Amazing quality for the price! Sounds great and feels good to play. Don't know how they manage to make these for the price but I'm not complaining! Highly recommended for guitar players on a budget or just starting out

Good value

Wanted a tele to try, so bought this. Inexpensive to try out.

Very good I did not expect this.

A verygood guitar for that price. Fully playable out of the box. After change of strings and small adjustments it became fantastic good. Easyto play on and such a nice sound.

Great guitar at the price

I wanted a guitar with a nice action at a low cost and this guitar did just that, I lowered the action very close to the frets and had no fret buzz at all. It sounds great and won't need to buy any modifications because it delivers on all fronts. I am now considering buying another Harley Benton guitar because its the best low priced guitar that I have ever owned (and I've had a few guitars at various costs over the years) Buy one, you won't be sorry, Ian.B

TE 20

Superb Finish Top Quality On every thing sound like the real thing Very Pleased with this Guitar would Highly recommend this guitar to Any Level of Playing ability

Awesome

In my opinion as good as the fender mex telecaster. Beautiful sound action and quality. I have guitars worth 8 times what this piece cost me and none of them sound as good as this one. Buy it and try. Its only a few tens...

Harley Benton TE-20

I must admit I wasn't expecting that much for the price, but I was completely amazed by what arrived!

The body finish is quite stunning: optically flat and really well polished. The fittings are decent too, well plated, fit well and work as expected.

I will probably replace the pickups in time. The balance between the tiny neck and much larger bridge pickup is odd, but then so is a real Telecaster!

The neck is lovely and straight, a couple of the frets needed a little filing, but the action is easy to set low and for the price, it was less work than I expected.

I cannot fault the value for money, as a beginner guitar, or even intermediate, it plays and works beautifully. Just buy one!

Brilliant guitar

Build quality is very nice, the neck would benefit from a fret leveling but is playable. Truss rod needed adjusting, pickups are a bit dull and the pickup selector switch moves a bit too tight. Other then that is a lovely guitar, would buy again any day.

great guitar for the price just needs frets edges rubbed a little easy to up grade pickups if you want to //// 5 star all round service im going to order the other great deal hollow body tele red one looks amazing ..... alex

Sunburst TE-20 SB

Packaging was very very good. The finish was excellent. The hardware was excellent. I was able to lower the action right down without string buzz. The sign of a straight neck well positioned in the body. The price was unbeatable. The only thing I didnt like was the flicks of crescent shaped dark wood in the light coloured neck maple. These spoilt an otherwise perfect guitar. At the price of less than 60 quid delivered, for a very nice looking playable instrument, who can moan. Good stuff, I would not buy from anywhere else.

Value for money

I was very wary of buying something I considered an unknown quantity but for the price I thought I would risk it and I am glad I did. Excellent quality, value and looks wise it's a very pretty instrument. Sounds great, playability wise very good.

Amazing value

I bought this guitar as a back up to me main one and was blown away by the quality. Once I'd change the strings and set it up the tuning was rock solid and the action was really nice to play. Classic tele sound but was able to get quite crunchy when pushed. An absolute bargain!

Great Tele guitar

This telecaster is great, not just for the money but also for its features and specs. I bought this tele for a custom project but I ended up keeping all its parts. I am not a big fan of single coils but this tele sounds hot and it's got a modern tone that could handle overdrive well enough.

The quality is really good. The setup was a bit off but I set this guitar up with a fresh set of HB 0,09" strings and it's really singing!

Totally recommended!

Also check out the TE-40 bk model if you're into tele-shaped guitars.
