Harley Benton TE-62CC CF Reviews

I love this guitar

Expectation: I expected to need to spend time setting it up, and then realising the pickups were terrible and worthless, or something like that. Reality: I love this guitar. The out-of-the-box setup was just right, didn’t need to do any fret work or even intonation adjustments! And even though the pickups are even brighter than even a standard Tele would be, they sound SO GOOD. I have so, so much fun playing this guitar, and get some great sounds out of it in a bunch of different genres.

TELE-D-TRUTH

The TE 62 is a well built guitar with excellent hardware. The Roswell pickups offers clarity and power. The turning is stable and reassuring. Overall, this a good looking instrument, with the roasted maple neck / fretboard giving it that classic look and feel.

Great mod platform

I have bought this guitar as my first tele to be a bases for modding. I really like the "caramelized maple" feel of the neck, and i decided on this guitar because is wanted a maple fretboard, and i liked the color. At first the neck felt a little too thick for my taste, but i got used to it really fast, and now i don't even notice it. At this point i have basically modded everything on it, so i cannot really talk about the electronics, or the hardware, but the body and neck was a great base for the following mods: - changed tuners to "Gotoh SD91-05M HAPM Locking 6L N" - put in Fender Baja Tele PUs and electronics (twisted tele neck, broadcaster bridge, 4 switch, s1 switch" - added a B5 bigsby, size is perfect for the body, i have dremeled out some channels in the back of the bridgeplate - changed the saddles to Gotoh In-Tune BS T-Style Saddles Set, this works well with the bigsby, i have tried the allparts compensated saddles, and the göldo saddles as well which didn't work well with the bigsby/bridge All in all i love how this guitar turned out.

good Tele not just for beginners

The guitar just need a set-up according with your way of playing. For the rest it can be played by beginners to average medium skilled players, and do to its price, it s funny to project upgrades and modify it along with your style of playing without the fear of ruining a treasure. Very good.

Speechless

I would never thought that I will find the best neck dimensions for my hands in such a budget guitar!! I played several guitars from high end Ibanezes to Gibsons and Fenders . The feel also of the neck is superb.

The guitar vibrates very well and has great sustain! I would buy it again . In general this instrument made me confident for a next Harley Benton purchase ! Happy 😊

Want a good, cheep tele clone

Well this tickes the boxes - well worth the money

Truly awesome

As received, it needs nothing. It’s really terrific for 3x the money. The neck is silky smooth and comfy. The guitar is super resonant. The tunes are just fine and seem to work well. If I’m hyper critical, the knobs and switch are the weak link. That’s a simple fix though.

Nice tele!

I had to do a few upgrades to this one, shielded inside the guitar, put on a tusq nut and some brass saddles, it now plays really nice and the pickups are very usable.

Genuine value for money

I'm no expert but I do own a good mixture of guitars from cheap and cheerful to the high end brands; this one is up there. It has that genuine tele sound but it looks the part too. It's light and comfortable and there's something about the neck that feels so homely - my favourite neck by far. This guitar is worth every penny; I've already ordered my next!

Completely blown away.

I got this guitar for a little over 110 euro on sale, and let me tell you, it feels at least 5x dearer. The pickups sound good, the harware is solid, the neck feels amazing, there is no fret sprout whatsoever, setup was spot on right off the bat. What else can I say, I'm completely sold on Harley Benton.

62CC CF fantastic

what is a tele style guitar and how should it feel? look no further. Wish my wife let me buy a dozen

Unbelievable at this price

This guitar was a pleasant surprise. The only thing it needed was small truss rod adjustment. Action and intonation were almost perfect out of the box.

Great first tele

I have a large collection of guitars,but never owned a tele.

This is a great guitar,just add compensated brass saddles for 10 bucks.

Neck is gorgeous.wish more of harley bentons Had this modern d profile

Not a 'keeper' for me

I didn't like the mint green scratch plate... it was worse than it looks in the pictures. A very basic guitar, I much prefer my HB TE-52 NA... now that's quality!!...and only around £10 more... the difference is truly remarkable.

nice guitar

quite light not heavy at all my example had high action an I have a feeling it was not setup well but after lowering the action it plays ok good for the price no complaints at this price point!

Blown away

This thing is out of this world good. Everything was perfect out of the box - action was great, zero fret spout, nice comfortable neck with a beautiful satin finish. Instantly feels like home already. I had plans to replace the pickups but after hearing them in person, I've changed my mind. They sound phenomenal. I can't believe how good of a guitar you get with Harley Benton at this price point. I'm about to buy at least 2 more as soon as the holidays are over.

It could hardly be more ideal

All my bad expectations have been illuminated once I played the very first note on this guitar..

I bought it in Dec 2021 and sice this time it has been playing as cool as I would never expect a guitar for this money to play.

Pros:

~ Stays in tune for relatively long time - check (not mentioning it was tuned(inc. octaves and the rode) out of the box)

~ Classic telecaster-like sound - check

~ Electronic components don't give any troubles/noises - check

(possible)Cons:

~ The highest/higher notes played on the 1st string using neck pickup are missing some frequencies you'd expect to be there(or I can simply say they sound flat, bodyless). Maybe it's me using wrong: (you name it) strings/playing techniques/amp settings/pickup height and so on.

This TL guitar sounds very good, thank you.

How do you do it?

Have never tried Bentons before. On a bipolar impulse bought 3 different models

I have no words to describe.. I stay in Malaysia.. Had requested someone from the team to sign said guitars.

The guitars are made in Indonesia.. But were sent from Germany.. They came all signed as requested.. The tele and sg came IN TUNE!! (can you imagine that?) they were setup to perfection.. The floyd I preferred a little lower action (but that's just personal taste)

Finish were all tasteful.. No feet buzz.. I mean seriously.. How do you guys do it?

I own about 20 guitars in total..from fenders to gibsons to ibanez to Tokai and of a few corts.. Some of which are 3 times the price of the most expensive Benton I bought..

I'll go as far to say that the only thing you may need to change (in the future) are the pick ups (you need to do that with all guitars anyway) ..

Everything else is solid as an ox. The Bentons are as good.. And in some cases even better then the guitars they are trying to (copy sounds like a bad word.. Maybe the guitars that were inspired by).

I think anyone who is thinking of buying a cort or squire or epiphone or whatever brand that's sub of the original American counterpart should try a benton.. Trust me.. They will shock you.

Don't even get me started on the price.. Like seriously man.. How do you guys do it.

Nothing else to add.. Continue with the great job, production and admin team. You guys rock!

Wonderful guitar!
