Harley Benton TE-62CC SP Reviews

Everything It Claims To Be And More

I have had this guitar for two months now, and I'll be fast to say, this guitar is EXACTLY how it was advertised.

Everything on this guitar was perfect, firstly, sound: that twangy Tele sound is perfect, the pickups are extremely high quality, not an issue to be had here, each pickup selection sounds exactly as you'd want, which is surprising for this price point, this guitar is an absolute all-star, you can play anything on it easily, and it shines in most genres.

On top of this: no fret buzz on the default configuration for this guitar, I actually haven't done anything in terms of adjusting action, etc because the standard is fairly perfect for me (though the action was slightly high on arrival, I haven't adjusted it because it doesn't cause me issue nor bother me). I'd also like to add that the strings that came on the guitar are likely just as good quality as whatever you use, I have not had to change mine yet (at about 2-4 hours daily usage, for two months, including alt. tunings, both tuning up and down) they still sound as good as new.

And of course, Looks: This guitar looks as good as advertised, if not better, the soft, pastel pink, is even better looking in person, it's just deep enough to impact the looks of the guitar, but doesn't distract from the typical "mean" look of Tele style guitars; The fretboard is absolutely identical to the pictures, and so is just about everything else, including the tuning heads and all.

Overall: This guitar will turn heads in all categories, looks, sound, feel, and arguably most importantly, price point.

Punches above its price point.

I didn't know I was a Tele fan until I received my te-62cc.

Very good

It's a heavy guitar, Heavier then my Les Paul. Neck pick-up is a bitt woolly, other then that an insanly good product for the price.

For the same price of a Squier Bullet Tele you get at least twice the guitar!

Fantastic guitar

Love this guitar - the roasted maple neck with satin finish is amazing. Great Tele sounds and feel.

Unbelievable

I can’t believe that this guitar costs as little as it does! The quality is that of a guitar coating 3-4 times what I paid.

The neck is beautiful, fit and finish is excellent. Sure, the parts aren’t top notch, but for this price there is no reason to complain.

Great fro its price

Overall great quality. There are some minor cosmetic issues that don't affect overall impression

I don’t know how they do this!!!

This company is listening to its customers. Roasted maple, great sounding pickups, vintage finishes all right on the money. I love these guitars

Cost efficient is the perfect tittle

Taking apart some minor setup needed, the guitar is ON FIRE for begginers and people who want a cheap guitar.

I have to add that if you change the switch and the tuners this guitar is a dream come true.

No finish problems, to fret sharp edges... no nothing.

DON'T even think about it. Just buy it.

Great Guitar

Can't beat the quality or price. Always satisfied with Harley Benton products.

Brilliant guitars!

I absolutely love these Harley Benton TE-62CC's. I now own three, and they all play beautifully. Get one - I promise you that you won't regret it!

Bargain Tele!

Beautiful looking, perfect tint of vintage shell pink colour. Neck finish good, level frets, zero fret sprout, again beautiful caramelised colour which works well with the pink body. Pickups perfectly useable and maybe lack a little articulation that my 52 Fender vintage tele has but hey its ten times at least less cost!

Only change I've done is added brass saddles. In fact the guitar is so good I've just ordered a bound lake placid blue one with a dark fretboard so hopefully that will be as good!

Chapó

I am not going to play the price vs quality game. Either a guitar is good or not and I dont care if it costs 5 or 2 thousands euros. And this guitar is absolutely OK. Straight out of the box it was set up perfectly, even the strings were fine. Only the switch is a little bit loose, but it works and thats all I need. I like the pickups very much and I m not going to change them. The tuners are perfect as well. I tuned the guitar the first day and after a week they still hold in tune. Soundwise it depends what amp or software are you using. I can make it sounds like heaven as well as a crap. Amp is almost always more important than a guitar. I own Squier Classic Vibe (400,-), Fender Mexican (1000,-), USA (1500,-) and Gibson Custom (4500,-). This Benton is in the same league as Squier and both Fenders - quality and sound. Gibson is another league. Put this guitar into John Mayers hands or some of the youtube guys (Chriss Buck) and your jaws will drop. I also own HB TE 20. I bought it just for fun. And guess what? I really do have fun with that guitar. Although this 62 is twice as good (as the price). Dont be worried about buying it. It is not a beginner guitar.

Pinky don't stinky

Love this Harley Benton, everything is just right. I had to tighten a few things out of box, new strings and action adjustment but no different to my massively overpriced other Telecaster by a different name ;) .

Now i have to force myself to play with the others.

If you don't own one ya missing out!

For the price it can't be beat.

The caveat must be the price point. Obviously, a more expensive brand would have more of the finer polish you expect from a global name. However, for less than €200 this guitar is phenomenal. It feels like a tele, plays like a tele, and most importantly it sounds like a tele. The finish is fantastic and the over all craftsmanship is stellar.

my level has become higher!

many thanks for the new model range! this guitar is with a lovely color. It's pink or milky pink, I can't say for sure, but it's flawless. The quality of the instrument is excellent.

frets do not scratch the hand, the strings are as needed! I didn't even wear it to the master for inspection. Sound - I listen through headphones and through my marshal and to goosebumps! thank you very much, I am very happy about the purchase.
