Harley Benton TE-62CC LPB

Best bang for buck guitar i own

I've been eye these for the longest time as I had a huge tele itch to scratch. Reviews were phenomenal, and to my ears it sounded great, so I pulled the triggers. Boy, was it worth it. The blue finish is absolutely gorgeous and goes so well with the min green pickguard (i only just discovered another layer of plastic peel weeks after peeling off the first one) and the roasted maple neck. The neck pickup is absolutely one of my favourite neck pickups, not so crazy about the bridge though. Pots feels great, switch is decent. electronics are dead quiet. My only gripe was that the neck angle wasnt great so past the 12th fret the action was inconsistent with respect to the rest of the neck but that took 5 minutes and a strip of a credit card to fix. Frets were also very very slightly rough but again, literally a minute job wiping the neck with sandpaper. For the money I honestly dont believe there's anything better. Absolutely recommend!

I didn't expect such quality

I've owned this guitar for almost a year now, and I am absolutely happy with it. It has perfect build quality; the neck is very well fitted, and the color finish is excellent. It holds tuning very well. After a year of use, there are a few things I'd like to upgrade: the bridge, because it is really difficult to set up perfect intonation, and the bridge pickup, as I want to replace it with a humbucker.

Benton for the win!

Player for over 30 years. Rock, metal, acoustic styles. Fenders, Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel, Yamaha, 2nd Benton purchased. This thing is a sweet playing instrument. Very well set up. Just needed slight action and pickup adjustment. Stop thinking about it and just buy it. Sooooooo good.

Sexy

Feel like a beast holding it

Fantastic quality and price!!!

Beautiful guitar, my daughter who is a beginner has come on really well since getting it for her birthday. I've been playing for about 45 years ad I love it too. Thoroughly recommended

WOW!

I ordered this Telecaster a few days ago and it has now arrived in a very safe box. It looks super nice! Excellent wood materials and the color finish is very well done. The roasted maple neck is very smooth. I was also surprised because it came in tune and it sounds very good. I am delighted by the sound quality of these Harley Benton Tesla pickups. I might just buy another telecaster in another color very soon.

Thank You

Oh my

I can only speak for my copy, so here it goes:

- neck: great shape, my left hand doesn't get tired from chords in standing position when using this one (12-inch radius). On the 95.-inch radius I get tired more easily. The colour is also really nice. Thin satin finish, smooth, but not Fender smooth.

- pickups: the neck pickup is really warm and quite loud, I had to lower it significantly to match the volume of the bridge pickup. At one point the screws just turn, but you do not see it go down: just push it down slightly and it moves. Resistance on both is about 5.6kOhm.

- electronics: mini pots, but they do the job just fine. The tone pot has a .022uF capacitor and has a wide spread. No shielding, but I think it is worth investing in it.

- body: great colour, not exactly like in the picture. not heavy

- tuners: just fine, they hold tuning; tested with D'Addario and Pyramid strings.

- fret work: leaves a bit to be desired. There is some scratching and buzz in a few places, but overall good.

-how it plays: really good. you can get used to it and not touch other guitars for longer periods. It likes overdrive, distortion and loud amps. Good middle position on the pickups as well.

All in all, I absolutely do not regret buying it. It is a fun instrument with a lot to give.

Amazing

Absolutely an amazing guitar

With an interesting sound

Wow!

I am genuinely impressed. This is my first Harley Benton and I could not be impressed more. The quality on the details is staggering, kudos HB.

I would be glad to pay for a model with better pickups, string locks, etc. but the same neck and body.

It played beautifully straight out of the box and sounds great, I bought it to mod but to be honest it doesn't need it for the price it's great!!!
