Harley Benton TE-20MN BM Standard Series 4-stars Reviews

Good value for your money

It is the cheapest guitar I have ever bought. I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the construction and the sound. Not as good as my Fender telecaster, but a good study guitar for my students. Now I don't have to worry they damage my Fender :-)

Great for the price.

I live in Michigan and the guitar took 2 months to get here. I thought it must be destroyed because it arrived in just the small box, no outer big box. The box had several big holes in it and the whole box looked very roughed up. I took the guitar out of it and was shocked to see it was fine. The set up was good, action a bit high but not bad. The tuners are crap but they do work. It sounds good enough, but the pickups sound pretty thin, even for a tele. The neck is nice and reminds me of an American Stratocaster I had in the 90's. The frets needed a good polish. Paint job is stunning.

I will be buying several more Harley Benton's, just hope they show up in a proper 2 boxes. It was a miracle this one was in one piece. Still waiting on the stand i ordered at the same time.

Looks great. Lovely colour. Let down by really cheap and nasty pick-up switch. Arrived wildly out of tune, which took a little while to fix.

Very well finished, but tuners are a let down

It’s very hard to be critical of a very very affordable telecaster.

The neck plays very well and the sound is true. The finish of both paint and neck is equal to guitars with an extra zero tacked on.

My only criticism on an otherwise perfect guitar (for the price), is the tuners/machine heads. They feel gritty and notched when turning them. It’s a minor point considering a decent set of tuners could set you back much more than the cost of the guitar....

It’s well balanced, decently priced and looks great!

Just beware of import duty and freight costs. It doubled the cost of this guitar! Next time I’ll order less guitars!

Fit and finish are wonderful, it is a beautiful guitar. I will continue to look for Harley Benton guitars to add to my collection.

Too good for what I planned

I wanted an inexpensive T-style to be my "Keith Richards" guitar. This guitar plays & sounds great out of the box (after tuning.) I'll try it with 4 strings & retuned eventually, but right now I'm liking the sound.

Bought to learn on

Bought this as an add on to an order. Now I have to steal it back from my Kid. Nice little guitar!
