Harley Benton TE-70 Black Paisley 5-stars Reviews

Beautiful Guitar

This was an excellent purchase.......not a flaw on it.......it sounds and plays great.....it needed some set up modifications but every guitar does......liked it so well the next week I purchased a TE 90 QM.......my Taylor T5z is now on eBay.......

Amazing Guitar

Amazing guitar for the price.

Finish and craftsmanship are unbelivible, the neck is beautifull and comfortable to play (only con are the frets that were a bit scratchy, burt with a little pacience and polish the problem was solved) and the body is light.

The tuners do their job well, and the bridge is amazing.

The pickups are ok, but in my case im going to replace, i find the neck pickup a bit to dark and numb, the bridge pickup is good but with a bit of gain it becomes a bit screamy.

But overal an amazing and beautiful guitar, specialy considering the price.

WOW

man it is not a perfect guitar but for the price, absolute steal! keep it up harley benton!

CONS:

-Machine heads not great quality. (switched no big deal)

-Nut slots roughly cutted. (switched)

-neck a little to thick and glossy for my taste (sanded down)

-neck pickup GREAT sounding but little too much backround noise (shielded)

-Frets not polished at all (polished)

SO if you plan to put your hands on it and spend a little bit more for upgrades it will an absolute deal. Pickups sound awesome.

Just don't expect a perfect guitar out of the box.

Great guitar

Great guitar. Play it every day

Amazing

What a great Guitar it has that Country Twang that I want without the cost of a Fender. Quality Control is excellent played straight out of the box although after a few weeks of playing I had it set up again (personal choice) just to make sure it was Run In.

unbelievable value for money

Firstly i live in Scotland I ordered this on Thursday , Today is Tuesday and it was delivered this morning all for £144.00 including delivery.Ordering online was super easy and i received updates on confirmation and delivery

I cannot believe how good quality this guitar is for what i paid, visually it is stunning looking like something easily 5 times the price.

It sounds awesome much better than i had expected and i cant fault the Roswell pick ups. Straight from the box it just needed a quick tune up and it was playable. Action a little high for me but that,s an easy fix

Now i realize i probably sound like an advert for Harley Benton but genuinely there are no bad points. I am getting on a bit in age nearer 60 than 16 lol,but if i had got this as my first guitar at 16 i would have been over the moon , However it is by no means a cheap beginners guitar. The overall component quality is very good and i think where the money is saved is in production time so its has good quality components but has not had the time spent on it to make it perfect.

The frets are a bit scratchy and the fret ends whilst by no means bad could do with a polish so ill play it for a bit then change the strings and polish the frets it has a plastic nut which is cut okay for depth but protrudes slightly proud of the nut so ill probably change it when i change strings, as for tuners they feel okay and guitar holds tune well so ill leave them alone until i have any problems then ill upgrade them, volume tone controls pickup selector all feel good so again ill leave them alone until i have any problems, although i have to point out that i have a strat copy that i got 42 years ago with cheap electronics and its still going strong with all the original electronics and tuners so dont go replacing stuff just because its not branded if it works and sounds good leave it alone.Pick ups i see no reason to change these if what youre looking for is that tele sound there great.

So overall this is a fantastic guitar for the money just buy it spend a little bit of time not money on it or if you want to go the other way you could buy it and mod the hell out of it and still not have spent a fortune

One final note i have to say i am super impressed with Harley Benton

so if you can get passed the snobbery of Big Brand names there unbeatable

TE70 Black Paisley

Arrived in perfect condition.

Quite a bit setting up to do to lower action etc.

Lovely guitar, and it wont be my last.

Excellent value guitar

Bought this for my wife to learn on - she loves it! Looks good, plays well and sounds like you would expect it to. The neck is very thick, but feels comfortable.

The only negative I've found is a slightly microphonic bridge pickup - not an issue to me.

Highly recommended!

I'm a home studio botherer and this was great right out of the box. I swapped strings for a lighter gauge as is my preference and away we went. Nice and easy action, no tweaking of the truss rod or bridge needed. Even the intonation was there or thereabouts. Good tonal variation between pick-ups. The fret ends aren't perfect but they're finished better than my fender player series Strat which also had a high fret (no such issue here) and was nearly 4 times the price...

I can't add anymore about the ridiculously low price that hasn't been said before, apart from it being £5 cheaper one week after I ordered it (thank you exchange rate!). If you want a Tele on a budget why are you still reading this? Get it bought!!

Amazing Instrument

Ohh is a awesome guitar, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the instrument components

beautiful

Great to play - awesome sounds - incredible price.

Sadly there is some glue on the neck and the strings. Bugging me.

was very impressed with the product and will continue to order products from your company i would have to say the quality was fantastic youhave earned lifelong customer

Great Vintage Style Telecaster!

I always wanted to get a traditional telecaster. This one really surprised me for the price. The guitar looks fantastic and I'm very happy with the sound. The tuners seem to be doing there job as well. The guitar holds tune extremely well. The weight is just right.

The only issue I had was that the frets were not leveled properly. I wound up leveling and re-crowning 9 frets. This allowed me to get fairly low action with minimal buzzing.

The tuning stability and tone of this guitar are fantastic and I definitely recommend giving this guitar a shot. I really wanted a good sounding traditional telecaster and I'm happy with this guitar.

What a find

Great Tele, very 50's style neck big bat width, top hardware, great finish, only a hour or so on my bench setting up to my own taste, Awesome addition to my collection, if this was in a Local Guitar Store it would be double or triple the value..

Beautiful instrument

I have owned this guitar for a month now.

It came perfectly set up. Playable right out of the box. Some of the higher frets ( above 15th ) had a bit of a scratchy sound when bending the strings, but after a week or so of playing this guitar non stop they disappeared completely. The tuners are easy to tune, they don't slide at all. At the start, aggressive bending caused detuning on the g and b strings but it is not an issue now.

The sound quality is just nuts. There is no better way of putting it. The low end is super warm in the first and second positions, yet all the high notes come through perfectly.

Then the glorious twangy 3rd position. So vibrant, such a nice chime. I cannot understand how does this guitar sound so good.

The middle position is so rich, it sounds like an acoustic guitar straight out of the amp.

The design is flawless, although it's admittedly darker than I expected it. But it's clearly visible from far away too.

The neck is super comfy , has a nice modern feeling, but it is still a bit thicker than my other guitars. Easy to maneuver. The coated maple fretboard is spotless, and is all around a joy to play on.

I would 10/10 recommend this guitar for everyone who lacks a T style guitar , beginner or advanced player.

The guitar came with a 3m cable as well.

Good Tele

I own several Fender teles including american standard, japanese and mexican. I have owned other copy teles. This HB TE70 compares very favourably with the real thing. In some respects it is superior, it is better balanced and the intonation is very good. There are no fret or finish faults. The pickups do not need replacing. Excellent value.

Great Guitar

Really loving the sound of this guitar, my only feedback would be the plastic protective layer that was on the lipstick pickup was difficult to remove but not impossible, Would recommend this brand to my friends, looking forward to trying some more Harley Benton Guitars. They have opened the door to great gear that anyone can afford

TE-70 Black Paisley Twang in the game

This is my third Harley Benton and I'm in awe of how this company can produce this quality instrument for this kind of prices.

This TE-70 Black Paisley came out of the box ready to go and after adjusting the action to my liking it was feeling and sounding great. I will use this for jamming in my home studio and recording some songs. A great addition to the club.

Love this guitar

Plenty of more in depth reviews on this great instrument. You can get a proper Tele sound for little money. Highly recommended

beautiful guitar. Sanded the neck plays wonderfully.
