Harley Benton TE-52 NA Vintage Series 5-stars Reviews
WOW!!!
There is a video on YouTube where a guy reviews this against a real Fender with a blind sound test. Buy the end of the video you are supposed to guess which one was the real fender. Myself and many others thought the Harley Benton was the fender, that's how amazing this thing sounds and that's why I bought it. For the money you won't be sorry.
Pros: Great guitar at a great price. Looks great sounds great.
Cons: None
Lovely guitar!
First impression when I got this Tele in my hands I was like "damn, it feels like expensive guitar". Neck feels great, pickups sound pretty clean even with overdrive, Im really surprised. You got that cripsy Tele tone which you are expecting. I will probably try out some brass saddles etc. just to check the difference is sound, still nothing wrong with the stock saddles :)
All I can say is if you are looking for your first Telecaster, than you just found the right one. Give it a try!
Awesome budget tele
My 3d harley benton and it's great. Plays great, sounds great and feels like a great instrument. It's a bit on the heavy side of things but it's still worth a try if you are in the market for a budget great telecaster style guitar!
how can you do this
seriously how can you do this at this price. my first Harley Benton bought to see what the hype is about and I'm impressed. I own a Gibson custom shop Les Paul and ok that's amazing but so was my face when I paid for it. This guitar gotta say for the money is fantastic I may have to buy a couple of other Harley Bentons just to make sure wasn't a fluke hahaha. honestly good value for money if you are starting out or an aged pro
Ausgezeichnete Gitarre für ihren Preis
Sie ist schon sehr schwer. Aber das war es dann auch wirklich schon mit Makeln. Spielbarkeit, Klang, Verarbeitung sind jeweils hervorragend!
Love this tele
I can't think of anything bad to say, overall this is a great tele style guitar.
Everything about this guitar surprised me!
The build quality is fantastic and the Roswell pickups sound great. The most impressing thing about this guitar, however, is its neck. It's probably the first thing that grabs your attention when you unwrap it - A very comfortable and smooth C-shaped maple neck.
The guitar is a bit heavy, though, but the overal quality will make you forget about the weight.
All in all, I don't think any other brand would beat HB's quality at this price point and to be honest, you can hardly tell the difference between a Fender telecaster and HB TE-52, if you only listen to their sounds.
WORK HORSES!
IF YOU ARE MEN..YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS ONE! THE SOUND IS REALLY GENTLEMAN!
Twang for your Buck
Look. It’s a telecaster. It’s got a chunkier neck than some. It’s also incredible at the price point and even the pups sound good.
I love it and can’t stop playing it.
Hi, here my experience: great customer service, very quick response (i made a mistake by setting up my account), great product, i love my T52, great price.
The only suggestion what i like to do is to improve the packaging.
I received my guitar with a little damage on the body above the scratch plate, diameter of my little finger, not too much of a big deal for my (she got shipped a long way around the world) but still a bit sad. I think by improving the shipping box, damages can be avoided.
I do now it is difficult to stay still in profit range by selling a product in the lower level.
The problem is that customers usually always remember and mention the negative things, even it is just a little scratch and not realize that they got a got product for a good value shipped a long way.
I hope this may will help and reduce dealing with unhappy customers.
So again not a big thing for myself, but maybe for others.

Nice guitar
Bought for my son, who then changed his mind.
I was going to refuse delivery but never got the chance as UPS just dropped it in hallway and left.
So, I thought I'g give it a go, and it's a great guitar.
Not just for the price, but great full stop.
It came well set up, just needed tuning.
It compares very well to Tele's costing 4 tomes as much.
It's on the heavy side, but not a problem for me.
Impressive
Feels very well built. Setup is good, maybe string height can be lower but for me it's fine.
Compared to a G&L that I had to return due to wrongly cut nut, the HB feels better quality somehow. Feels sturdier.
Sounds are proper, nothing to complain about.
satisfied
just purchased, first impressions really positive.

Unbelievable guitar for the money
Sound is really good. I love the weight, heavy and sustain. This is better that fenders that cost $500+ Finish is really top notch. Bridge is solid, pickups have nice tele twang tone.
Flawless Tele-Style Guitar
Having watched many YouTube review videos praising this guitar I decided to place my order expecting to have to upgrade various components on this guitar. It arrived a week later and upon unboxing I was delighted to find that the instrument was flawless. I made a few adjustments to the truss rod and bridge to suit my playing style, used a small file to round over the fret ands and fine steel wool to polish them and it was perfect.
Previously reported issues with tuning machines seem to have been addressed and the guitar stays in tune even after using big bends. I don't feel the need to spend any more money on this guitar other than for a decent hard case.
This is quite a heavy guitar which some may not like but I use with a wide padded strap and I have no problems, in fact the weight gives the instrument an air of substantial quality.
For those looking for a good Tele-style guitar for very little money, look no further and if you do want to spend a bit more cash on upgrades this TE-52 provides the perfect platform.
How they do it
Everything they say is true .Get one
Awesome I love my telly Harley Benton Beautiful Thank you so much , Great guitar Kind of heavy though Sounds excellent Good action Sweet as can be !
Extremely happy! Will buy from again! Amazing quality and attention to detail!
Great guitar.
I bought this as my first electric guitar after playing with my acoustic for a year. I was really impressed with the guitar straight out of the box. Frets were a little rough but apart form that it was good to go. It looks absolutely fantastic and well worth the money when comparing to other models in the price range. Excellent guitar - Would recommend.
Amazing Guitar, exceeded expectations.
I've had this guitar for about a year now and I simply love everything about it. You will be hard-pressed to find anything in the same price range as good. Initially served as a backup to my USA Fender Telecaster.
Now my Fender Telecaster is my back up to the TE-52.
