Harley Benton TE-52 NA Vintage Series 5-stars Reviews

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.

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…

Brilliant

Can’t be beaten at this price

Teletastic

This guitar is exceptional, its vintage pick ups sound so original. the swamp ash is amazing with superb graining and gloss finish. The maple neck is fast and smooth. i would recommend this guitar to any giging musician a solid and sturdy guitar for very little money.

Great value and play's really well.

I have made and designed many of my own guitars but find it almost impossible to beat the value of this guitar. From the neck to the glossy thick finish the guitar is really hard to beat.

fantastic Guitar

love the chunky neck , quality , finish suberb

Far exceeded expectations

Arrived in perfect condition, very nicely set up from the box. A very believable Tele tone from both pickups! Haven't put it down since it arrived. Really nice guitar for the money, absolutely no complaints

Fender Spec with modern parts

A wonderful guitar manufactured to the original Fender specification. Plays and sounds just as a telecaster should. Have played Fender branded telecasters and the sound is just as good. The only downside, is that it is a little heavier than its Fender equivalents. Needed no setup on delivery and the strings it comes with have lasted well. Neck is a good thickness and shape in the hand. I wish I’d bought one sooner!

Great Tele

I love this telecaster, the way it looks to the way it sounds. I even love the weight

A surprisingly good guitar, especially considering the pricetag

I bought this guitar after watching some reviews on the internet.

I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. For 160 Euros, you get a chunky heavy and very resonant guitar. The wood is dense, not soft, which I like. The neck is very stable.

I bought this guitar to upgrade it to a high quality instrument.

Mods:

Installed Gotoh tuners, a Gotoh bridge, Gotoh TLB-1 String Ferrules, an Allparts Retrofit Jackplate T-Style, a SwitchCraft jack, a self-made bone-nut, a DiMarzio 3-position switch, a DiMarzio Area Hot T DP421 noiseless bridge pickup, a Seymour Duncan SH-55 for the neck, which balances very well with the DiMarzio, new pots and matching knobs and for less than 600 Euro you have a guitar that sounds better than an entry-level Fender for 750 or higher.

A little bit of criticism: the neck is straight, the fret material is also high quality, but you need to level the frets to make the action acceptable. I know how to do it, people who don't know would need a luthier to give these guitars a professional setup.

Great for your money

Nice guitar. Great appearance. The quality of the instrument is excellent. The vibration of the strings is felt like on an acoustic. For your money you can say this is top.

Great guitar

Heavy but in a good way, feels like quality , and looks great. It has good sound
