Harley Benton TE-62CC DR 4-stars Reviews

All good...

...only freets were a little bit rusty with sharp freet ends but easy to fix. Otherwise everything is ok.

Great Deal

The strongest point of this guitar is its look. Aesthetically speaking the guitar is awesome, nothing at glance says this instrument costs 150€: from the roasted neck to the perfect glossy finish of the body. The only thing I wold change would be a 3-ply pickguard (the mono layer is more suitable for a vintage instrument) but that's just an opinion.

Sound-wise it's pretty good, tuners and electronics are a good deal for this price range and they're easily swappable with a more high end stuff when you feel the need. Still with the stock gear you get the "Telecaster experience" you're looking for, with a high sound versatility and a minimal .

The only thing that holds me from giving the 5th star is the setup: when playing above the 8th fret I noticed a severe fret buzzing that needed to be taken care of by a professionist. This increased the price of the guitar by 50%.

Nonetheless I ended up with an instrument that is still very competitive against other guitars in the 200-250€ range and feels and sounds marvelous when I play it.

So good for less than 200 €

Great neck, great finish, great feeling, stays in tune.

The sound of the pickups? Well, it is the sound of a tele. Everything else is subjective. If you want to feel more confident, you can upgrade them for 100 € with a fender set but I am not sure that you will get a "better" sound.

Overall, a very pleasant guitar and very well built.
