I was shocked

wow what a great guitar, looks and build quality are really good. the sound is good too, the neck has a nice feel, no sharp fret ends, no heavy varnish. if i was to be really picky the only things that could be better are the frets polished and a better quality 3 way switch. i would recommend anyone buying this guitar, straight out of the box after a quick tune i was happily playing away. 8.5 out of 10.

Good guitar

I've definitely always wanted a Telecaster, and this guitar totally delivers in looks and sound. There were no problems with delivery, the guitar arrived safely. Sounds good, even better on overdrive. Completely satisfied with the purchase

Perfect feel, pickups and knobs

Very perfect feeling and good finish touch. Pickups are very adaptive to what you are playing and expecting. The knobs are very soft and love the plastic instead of metals. Not a heavy guitar at all. Love what i play and hear daily. I play in my effect box or in my amplifier directly.

This is a GREAT guitar.

I've been a pro/semi pro musician for more than thirty years. This is my third HB guitar and it doesn't disappoint. I bought it to play blues with (It's a heavier body) BUT...plot twist ... As soon as I plugged it in I knew this was an ideal jazz guitar. I keep thinking "I'll buy one and mod it "... but they are just too good to mess with ... The pickups are actually really good .. I've gigged this guitar and recorded with it ... WOW! ... Just get one while there are ones to get!

Incredible!

What do you expect when you buy a guitar for EUR 159? Well, definitely not this. This guitar is absolutely brilliant. The pickups will need replacing as I they don´t have as much definition as I like and get lost in the full band sound as a result. I might look at a bridge with brass rather than steel, but that´s about it. But the instrument itself is absolutely stunning. The nexk is perfect and the frets are absolutely beautifully worked. I really did not expect this quality at this price. Acoustically vibrant and full, plugged in only an issue with the pickups. If you are looking for a good, no-nonsense Telecaster for very little money, this is the one.

A little heavy but sounds great

It's definitely on the hefty side with the ash body, but that classic tele tone can't be beat

Flawless

This T Style impressed me with its flawless build quality and gorgeous sound. The guitar arrived perfectly adjusted and only needed minor tuning. While the finish has a slighttly stronger orange hue than the product photos suggested, it's still a beautiful instrument with beautiful natural wood marks. I find myself reaching for it more than even my more expensive guitars.

Absolute Gem!

I've been playing guitar for around 50 years. I've bought every main brand, with the odd collectors item - 1962 Gibson 330 - 1969 Gibson 345 Stereo - several Les Pauls and numerous Fender's... and the odd Eye candy piece just for posing, all of which I've ended up selling for a number of reasons... "No more", I said to myself. " I'm going to buy something, that if I have to sell it, it won't be such a hardship to lose. So I bought a Harley Benton TE 52 NA Vintage Series. WOW! This has to be one of the best guitar buys I've ever made! The feel and action is amazing. The pick's sound great! And to add icing on the cake, It looks amazing. It arrived when promised, and in immaculate condition! If only all customer service was like this…
