Harley Benton TE-62CC SFG Reviews

Great telecaster for the money

I have several guitars, but at some point I wanted to try the Telecaster. The original Fender seemed too expensive to meet. Between the Squier and HB - I chose HB because of the new color.

What I got:

Pros:

- Excellent, comfortable neck with smooth frets. Frets do not stick out, do not scratch hands, matte varnish is very pleasant to play

- Beautiful colour. The guitar looks great

- Good sound that has the characteristic nuances of a telecaster

- large strap mounts

Minuses:

- Volume and tone knobs are screwed on unevenly

- There are scratches on a few frets near the end of the neck

- There are 2 small cracks in the varnish where the neck is attached to the body. They are no longer visible from a distance of 20 centimeters and they do not particularly spoil the view. At least for now.

As a result:

In my opinion, this is an excellent guitar for those who want to get acquainted with a telecaster for a reasonable price. Yes, she is not perfect, but let's be honest, for this money you can not notice them.

Great guitar out of the box!

You fully get that twangy, Tele'ish vibe when you play this thing! SFG color looks fantastic and the neck is way darker than standard maple neck on TE52. The hardware works good, pickups sounds as they should in telecaster. Guitar just feels way more expensive than it is. If you think of getting yourself a tele, TE62CC is an awesome option!

Great looking and playing modern style T

Overall 5 *. Some very minor visual flaws, but nothing to worry about. I'm no expert, have owned various HB guitars

Looks- colour matches the website, looks great. The slightly toasted neck looks great

Neck-feels really nice to play. Slimmer than the the TE-52

Fretwork is really good, no pokey or sharp frets. No scratchiness when bending, so the frets seem to be polished well.

Tone and volume knobs are a little stiff, hopefully will loosen with use.

Tuners work, they're not very precise but hold tune and do the job

Sounds- I have owned the TE-70 and TE-52, so the roswells sound the same. Better ears than mine may hear the difference because of the wood and weight vs the TE-52, but I don't have high end amps to notice the subtleties and I'm a hobby guitar player so, nothing majorly different in the sounds to the aforementioned models.

So, to review, a really nice playing and looking T guitar for very little money. Down the line I may replace bridge/saddles, tuners and put in some slightly better pickups (tonerider or similar), but I am absolutely happy with the guitar for the money, and for even slightly more money

Telecaster surf green

Always wanted a guitar with this colour, maple neck and mint pickguard .

Good guitar for the money.

Set up was spot on out of the box. Only had to tune it of course.

Good paint job.

Good fret work. No sharp edges, no high frets.

Sound pretty good.

Hardware feels good.

The only con is,

The string thru holes where not drilled with equal space from each other and not in a straight line.

I do not understand how they can mess this up.
