Harley Benton TE-62CC DR 5-stars Reviews

Great guitar

I think this guitar is great for either a beginner or someone like myself who was looking to get a first tele in my collection. Out of the box the guitar plays great, action is decent and can but doesn’t have to be messed with if you’re new to guitar. The quality is very good for the price and the sound is exactly what you’d expect to hear from a telecaster. Overall I think it’s a great guitar for the price and will definitely consider buying and other Harley Benton in the future.

I have been working on guitars for 35 years.

This has to be the best buy I have made, quality, sound and looks are awesome. I have setup every type of guitar made once or many times and the 2 each T styles guitars I purchased here took just minutes to setup. It is really nice to have a low cost quality guitar at your finger tips. These are well worth the money without any modifications.

Very nicely done.

Very happy TE62

I already have a TE62DB but when I saw this on sale for £110 I couldn't resist the maple neck custom colour Dakota red model.

The instrument arrived with no problems. I've been playing for about 25 years I've had this guitar over 6 months now and it's still exactly set up the way it left the warehouse and I do usually tend to adjust the set up a little but so far this is good.

There was a couple of small imperfections namely the back plate holding the neck on had some very light scratch marks on it and the frets ends were a little bit sharp. Is this a big deal? No they're the sort of things one could get on any factory made instrument. I love the colour, the neck is great, quite slim, the baked maple is awesome.

These guitars really impress with the sound of the pickups, genuine alnico magnets aren't the norm in this price bracket, they just sound great to my ears.

This guitar punches way above it's price bracket, I've had £200 squires and it's significantly better in every department. It's a vintage correct telecaster for £110 what else can I add to that?

Perfect vfm choice!

I got this guitar for 2-3 weeks now just to give a more accurate rating. I bought this one along with VBS saddles (for better intonation) and I am beyond impressed. It sounds really good, all 3 options on the switch have a true impact on sound (that means for me the pickup set is doing the job) and it's gonna be a workhorse for my daughter's lessons! By the way those tuners are great (I get it they are cheap but it stays perfectly in tune and they turn smoothly). You won't regret buying one! P.S. Fretwork was way better than expected, and neck was dead straight on arrival. I only restringed obviously cause it had old strings on.

awesome value

hard to believe you can get a quality instrument like this at this price point. I'm a believer, well done Harley B.

Breathes fire, kicks ass, it's all the guitar you need

I love this thing. It's a blast to play. The pickups are fantastic, I see no need to change them. It holds tune wonderfully. The neck feels great, all frets play perfectly.

If you've got something that's comfortable, stays in tune, has nice pickups, and has good fretwork, then worrying about anything else is a waste of time. This ticks all the boxes. Buy it and play, don't think about gear.

The tuners are a low point. I usually love vintage split-shaft tuners, but these ones are a little hard to use. The hole isn't deep enough -- replacing the high-e string is difficult.

I like it so much that I bought one for my sister's family for Christmas.

Wow!!

10/10 for product and Service.

‘Tele’ is Amazing.

Wish I still had it!

I loved this guitar and had other Harley Benton T style guitars but this one was my favorite but I sold it to someone that needed a guitar and wish I didn't! Great looking great playing and yes great sounding!!!

Who needs a Telecaster, if you have one of these?

What can I say? Incredibly good finish on the body, and the satin finish on the neck is just wonderful.

Timeless Guitar

The Telecaster is is a simple no frills guitar that has stood the test of time.

I bought this guitar out of curiosity. I already have a great USA Deluxe Tele, which I bought 17 years ago.

Could this HB Tele be as good as the reviews I saw on Youtube - YES!

Construction was flawless. The neck feels great and is a joy to play. The tuners and controls all work fine and the finish of the Dakota Red body is immaculate.

The Bridge pickup is my favourite and I have spent nearly all my playing time on it.

I have no hesitation recommending this to anyone who wants a Tele.

Fast service

Great service, and fast response. Got my guitar in a couple days to Hawaii. Aloha

A Dakota Red Revolution

Wow, what can I not like about this great Tele type? From the wonderful fast neck, faultless, and great Roswell pickups, that I got everything from clean country, through rockabilly, blues and rock. I suspect they can be pushed a good bit more, but I don't play the heavier stuff. The vintage tuners are not only a good look, but they hold the tuning well too. The guitar also allows you to string through body, or as a top loader. It's a brilliant value guitar, and in a blind test, I would have thought this was a very expensive model by a huge USA company who pioneered this body shape. It's a little lighter in weight perhaps, but punches well above, due to the stock Roswell pickups. And what a fabulous colour; I love Dakota Red. More than worth every penny, but wouldn't be overpriced at at least twice the cost. Do yourself a favour, grab one of these absolute bargains!!
