Harley Benton TE-30 BE Standard Series

Great First guitar

This was a very good purchase for a first electric guitar. Overall very well constructed and sound was OK. For it's price I'd say it's perfect for a first guitar. Only 'complain' is that it is really heavy (>4kg) so it becomes cumbersome to practice standing for long periods of time, other than that, happy to have had it as my first guitar!

This is better than I could have even imagined..

I have read all of the ratings and this is why I decided to give it a shot!

The guitar was shipped quickly and with great care.

When I opened the box WOW what a surprise the guitar was in fantastic shape no issues with paint or anything.

The one thing I am replacing is the tuners. This is a small price for the quality of the guitar. I currently own Fender Jazzmaster Ultra, Gretsch Nashville, and Les Paul Custom.

I realize it is not one of these however it is a Fantastic Value for the incredible price of $98.00.

The neck is fat and smooth. (Love it) the pickups well it is darn near as Twangy as a Fender for my money sounds great, this guitar will be with me forever! Thank you, Harley Benton, for making such a pleasant purchase.

Excellent deal

Had this guitar since 2020. Has never given me any issues, I love it and I couldn't have asked for a better deal. Great bang for my buck.

I had to calibrate a bit when it just arrived, to adjust the action, but after that, it was just delightful. Indeed, a friend who plays Ibanez high-tier guitars tried it out and complimented how it feels on the hands!

It's still on the low-budget side, without sophisitaced pickups. The sound is kinda generic, but I think that replacing the pickups you could end up with an almost undistinguishable guitar from a fender!

My first telecaster

This is my first telecaster. I have been using it for over a month now. Good quality and build. I like the overall sound and different tones. Good for budget and beginners.

For this price it is the best guitar out there

Played it for 5 years until I upgraded to a original Fender, there’s really little difference that I can make practical-wise.

It does it’s job, looks pretty but be careful, it is not completely white, you can see the wood texture when you’re up close, but that’s alright. Amazing guitar overall

Better than the other brands

This guitar is way better than any T style guitar in the sub 350usd brands. The neck felt like hard rock maple and is sturdy. The body and finish is clean. for some reason my TE30 had pre-drilled holes that didnt go through the body. I knew it would be its next mod which i did 3 days ago and it made the guitar so much better as now it is more resonant and increased the sustain.

Amazing upgrade possibilities

I bought it for one plan - upgrade it ! :)

Ofc, out of the box its more than fine for someone who just wants a decent telecaster. Mine weighted 3.9kg. No issues with finish, quallity etc... it has a very thick fingerboard = will last for long time for sure. No shapr fret ends etc....

I upgraded it with lock tuners, black pickguard, bone nut, new pots and custom Tonerider pickups... its a BEAST :D

Amazing for the price

I've had multiple people compliment this guitars look and sound. When I tell them the price, they are dumbfounded!

Very Heavy Ash Body

But good tone, easy to convert to string thru for more sustain, but the wood is quite soft so be wary of pickguard screws loosening and requiring a drop of wood glue after repeated use

Excellent guitars

These Harley Benton Telecaster guitars are the best bang for your buck you will find.

I use these guitars for my universal b or g bender system and all my customers are very happy with the product.
