Harley Benton TE-62DB BK Reviews

Incredible guitar

I purchased the blue version first and was so impressed I bought the black and white model. Very happy chappy.

It's worth every penny!

Very good instrument. Played right out of the box. No fret issues, no damages or any problems.

On a country budget

If you are on a tight budget, this guitar wins by a country mile. Build quality and finish are excellent. Played perfectly straight out the box. The selector switch is a little suspect and will definitely be replaced ... and I have replaced the bridge saddles as they were poor quality. Small grypes for a big guitar at a low cost.

Great budget guitar

I know budget guitars just keep getting better, but this one really is a belter! Pickups, bridge and tuners all do the business, but the neck really is the star of the show. I wish guitars as attractive and playable as this had been available when I started out - highly recommended.

Harley Benton TE-62

Fantastische gitaar, netjes afgesteld out of the box.

Ongelofelijke prijs!

Fantastic value Telecaster

I cannot fault this guitar for the price. It looks, feels and plays exactly like my Fender telecaster. It’s great to take to gigs, I can play it and leave it between sets without worrying about it. It’s taken several knocks and drops but it’s built like a Sherman tank. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. Pros: everything except the tuners which I swapped out for Grovers.

The reviews are true

This guitar looks great, has a perfect finish and the neck is lovely. Sounds nice unplugged and was perfectly set up. Plugging in and the Roswell pickups are great.

On the whole this is the best guitar I’ve had for such a great price. Just sold three of my other guitars and ordered another Harley Benton

Classy Guitar Without The Classy Price

I’ve a number of HB Tele & Strat models and a number of Contemporary Squiers too, let me tell you, there is no comparison with the build quality, HB is simply in a different league, and I mean better to avoid confusion. Your typical Squier Contemporary is so bad it doesn’t even qualify as a heavily discounted B Stock model, I bought 3 Contemporaries, all bad, sold the lot. Save for a few tweaks the HB’s have been great straight out of the box and the TE 62 is a classic example of what Harley Benton does best, take a great design, make it better, make it affordable so evryone can enjoy it!

best value for money!

I was really amazed from the quality and look of this guitar! much better than my Squier special edition.

Good Job HB!!

Amazing

As a fan of HB guitars,and a not a t style guitar fan, i am really shocked and amazed!! When my guitar came she was in mint condition with only need of adjustment with height of fifth string to cancel the buzz on the frets.. I would honestly recommend TE62 model to anyone who wants to give a shot with a t style guitar..

My second TE-62!!!!!

Wanted a second telecaster and there's not anything on the market that cam compare to this guitar at this price point! Just buy it, it's amazing! The DB just gives a really cool classic vibe, the neck feels amazing!

Great guitar!

Awesome guitar for the price/quality equation. Mine came a little uncalibrated but nothing bad. Tele classic sound, beautiful finishes.

TE62

Looks good, satin neck feels good in the hand. Nut cut poorly so impossible to tune correctly, would only recommend to someone comfortable with luthier skills, I dont have these skills so returned item

It's a Tele!!!

First things first:

I 'm a semi professional musician for decades,and I own an 1991 American

fender stratocaster (non export model),a Mexican made fender telecaster,and a Japanese made squire stratocaster (upgrated with fender coils sss configuration), I 'm also a sound engineer...

Now, I 've just got the guitar,and here's my opinion:

Finnish is excellent!!!

Absolutely perfect fretwork, no sharp frets or even a little disturbing!!!

The neck is very easy,just a little flat for my taste (I 'm used to 7,25 and 9,5 necks),but it is not a problem.

The guitar came very nicely intonated,and low on action (I had to correct only the G string a bit) otherwise totally playable out of the box (I can't believe that somebody took the trouble to set the guitar up before shipping)

Hardware:

beyond my expectations (I was expecting that I 'll have to change the tuners - in fact there 's no need for that).

Only the switch feels a little on the "El cheapo" side,but we will see...

The rosewell pups are more than o.k.,I like them very much (I just had to back up a little on the tone,when using the bridge position)

The sound: It's a Telecaster,and sounds like one!!!

Overall:

This is a great guitar!!!

Not "great for the price" great guitar!!!

For the price is a steal!!!

Now,can this guitar compare with my American fender No,but there's a price gap of €€€€ between them,but she can hold her own against my other guitars.

This is a guitar,that punches well above her price !!!

Very impressed!

Great guitar hands down. I have owned a few Telecasters, and unfortunately never gelled with them. This one, has become a staple in the short time I have owned it. Great sound and great price. But honestly, regardless of price, it’s really that good. I own 12 guitars and have been playing this one the most recently. Can’t go wrong. Great job Harley Benton!

Fine After Some Work

Neck feels great. Pickups are vintage which means low output/weak. Usual initial tweaks such as truss rod adjustment, intonation and action tweaks. High E tuning machine was not working great so I replaced all six with Wilkinson Deluxe. Ferrules for string thru on back of body fell out during first string removal so I glued those down.

BEST TELE AT THIS PREICE POINT

You can't find a better tele for this price! Excellent.

5 stars for your money

The overall quality of this product is amazing value for money!

I give it 5 stars because I feel I got 5 times the value. It is not a custom shop Fender, and should not be compared to one, but it is like you're paying for a VW Polo and getting a VW Passat for your money - but if you're expecting a Porsche you will be disappointed.

The neck is a good D-shape, not too small, not too big. A bit like my Yamaha.

Fret ends, paint, finish and overall QC is very good. Not perfect, but good.

Sound is typical Tele, and pickups are decent like rest of the electronics

Tuners and knobs are just fine.

This is a good comfi' daily driver, and will be fun to do some upgrades on.

Great instrument

At first look the guitar is very beautiful, and at second also.

Came setup very well, i just lowerd the strings a bit and the pickups.

The neck feels good, has some width to it but plays nicely.

The frates came POLISHED!! but the fret ends are sharp, haven't found anny deadspots.

Bought the guitar with intention to swap the pickups and do some mods but i don't think i'll do that in a wile because they sound very nice and have pretty good output.

Will be definetly replacing the tuners and switch and pots, they aren't bad, but to me they don't feel really nice.

The nut is good no need to do annything to it, maybe replace it for a bone or graphite but not really neccesery.

The body has a really nice weight to it.

All in all a great instrument came better set up than my gretsch streamliner witch is double the price.
