Harley Benton TE-20MN CA Standard Series Reviews

Holy Sh*t

I bought this being slightly apprehensive. I was not expecting the quality that I received. It needed no set up work at all, it got in tune extremely quickly, it plays like butter, and the tone was crisp and clear. I've played guitars 10x the price of this one and this one takes the cake hands down. The paint was the highlight. It reminded me of automotive paint that you'd find on a restored classic. The neck was exactly what I like, the action and playability was smooth and could be, and for less than $200 shipped from Germany to the U.S it is DEFINITELY worth the money! I'd love to see what else HB will do.

Very pleasantly surprised

Due to its very cheap price I wasn't expecting much from this guitar, but I was very pleased to find out just how good it was. Its quality rivals that of guitars twice its price.

1st Telecaster

While enjoying my H.B. Stratocaster purchase’s (HSS & SSS) I wanted to try a Telecaster so order this model and wasn’t disappointed it had everything going for it … price … quality… sound … looks and no sharpe frets in fact no issues at all.

A tired cliche but this little Tele punches well above it's weight

Bought this as a throw in with another guitar to save some shipping costs. I'd read the reviews and watched the You Tube demos and had to give it a try to see if it lived up to the hype. It did not disappoint.

If you can play you can make most anything sound good and if you can't nothing is going to make you sound good. I can play a little and was more than pleasantly surprised with this little gem.

Like most Harley Bentons, a great value for what you pay. This would be an ideal intro guitar for a beginner and is more than serviceable for a more seasoned player as well as a terrific platform for any aspiring modder. Also the candy apple red with white pick guard makes for a very nice looking guitar.

Super Guitar - So Much Quality For The Price

I decided to buy one of these TE20's as reviews were good and at £75 plus Post - why not ? It arrived in a super condition, no scratches or dings and well packed. What a beautiful guitar this is, and such quality for the price is unreal.

No issues with frets, knobs and switches fine, tuning keys work well and body work is stunning. Neck is lovely to play and guitar sounds fine. As others have said, neck PU is a little muddy and bridge pick up is nice and clear / twangy. That said, it plays and sounds lovely. The only job I had was raising the E/A bridge saddle slightly - other than that no buzzing and stays in tune for a long time.

I have owned a Squire Tele Affinity in the past and also a Bullet Tele, this guitar is equal to, or better than the Affinity, which retails now at about £185. I'm really impressed with this guitar, and not just because it's less than half the price of the Affinity - it just feels good - nice weight, comfy neck and sleek body - and really belts out with gain or distortion. Will suit all sorts of music styles.

This is my first Harley Benton, but it will not be my last. I'm pleased with this purchase and can't recommend this guitar enough. Superb.

Fantastic Guitar regardless of the price!

I love my HB TE-20. Fantastic sound, great playability. I would choose this guitar over similar guitars that sell for hundreds more. I just wish you all would open up a shop in the United States.

Unbelievable

Excellent guitar, beutiful. must buy

Unbelievable value for money

I bought this guitar only because I needed some parts of hardware for a project I was working on, and it was easier and cheaper for me to buy the whole guitar. It's flawless metallic finish, and a great tele sound made me keep the whole guitar in my collection.

Great guitar, for it price

It loocks gorgeous, sounds, for it price, diecent, fells good. It have some issues, like biting frets and bridge buzz, but its not too bad. I can recommend!)

Looks really nice

Bought this guitar mainly for the looks. I must say the neck feels great and very nice to play. The pickups are not special in any way, whish they were a bit brighter, if this are changed you would get a really nice guitar for the price with a very comfortable neck. I was also surprised how well stays in tune. Overall I recommend this guitar, looks very good.

Amazing for the price, but...

Well, it's probably a random problem, but mine came with a double in thickness fret on the 13th spot, actually making it impossible to play (11th, 12th and 13th fret sounded the same on every string, because strings would touch the 13th fret).

OK, surely it is something that can be fixed, but with its cost.

Otherwise, a pretty good guitar especially for the price.

After resolving this issue, it plays pretty ok.

for this money, this is the best guitar in the world !

Best guitar for 88 euros!

Candy apple red color looks beautiful, no sharp frets (at least on mine), action is good, really comfortable to play. 5/5

It’s a 75 euro guitar

I’d decided to buy this guitar because of the reviews, both here and on YouTube. I got what I expected: it is a nicely looking, pleasantly sounding guitar. But don’t expect exceptional quality. For example I had to raise action to its maximum and even after that there is still buzzing in the first frets area. As for the frets, well… They are sharp, they cut through skin of my index finger, so tomorrow I’ll go to luthier to try and fix both action and frets. UPD: All posible adjustments had been done (filing, truss rod, saddles) – the action is still around 2,2 mm on low E and minus 20 euro.

Amazing sound for the price!!!

Love the feel, and the playability of this guitar.....love it!!!

tele everyone it’s great!

Wasn’t expecting too much from such a low priced guitar but I was pleasantly surprised. As usual for Harley Benton the finish is superb. There’s a good range of tones and the action is great!

your price the best guitar

High-quality and excellent looking telecaster for a very small price!

This is my third guitar from Tomann, and again I am very pleased with the purchase! These guitars are for those who care about quality at a reasonable price, not a high-profile brand name. However, HB has recently become a fairly famous and recognizable brand of musical equipment. I'll be thinking about buying another HB guitar!

You get what you pay for

Because of the tuners alone, this instrument isn't fit for any serious use.

This instrument will not stay in tune and as such, will discourage you from playing it.

I bought this as an inexpensive knock-around guitar. I can't believe how good it is for the money! I can actually use this on stage! I wish it had strings through the body like the much more expensive T-Style guitars, but I'm not going to complain for the price.
