Harley Benton TE-90FLT SB Deluxe Series 5-stars Reviews

Great guitar for the $$$

Unbelievable quality and workmanship for the price. Like the reverse headstock.

Love It!

Pros

Sound Sound Sound... Neck pickup is inspiring. Gilmore...oh ya.. Finish is perfect.. Frets level and intonation good after my home setup. Hold tune fine. Put new strings on since the ones that came with a bit corroded. Slight truss adjustment. Dropped the action as it was way high and adjusted the pickups to taste.. Love the weight. Balanced. Lighter than my Mim Tele. Love the reverse headstock.

Cons

Tuners feel a bit close together ..Not a issue.. But some might be annoyed.

Volume pup was acting up. Intermittent crackling for lack of a better term.. Cycled it a bunch of times and took the back plate off and blew it out ..Fixed it up :)

P.S. I brought it in to my local shop and handed it to a very accomplished musician. He never heard of HB. After he played it he looked up at me and with Smirk.. Asked if it was under $500. When I told him he laughed and said it cost him almost that much to ship a guitar to another province.

Very happy with the purchase..

This is great!

Very cool guitar, for the price it's incredible.

It sounds like a Tele, but with a fatter tone.

It's just a rock Tele, so if you are looking for that feeling, go for it.

Neck is quite fat too, I like it in this way but I know that it's not for averyone.

Pay attention to pickup screws, one of mine got spanned while tuning the height of the pickup. Not a big problem, but just pay attention.

Tone is great, not for a cheap guitar, is truly great.

Body is one piece of wood, it resonates extremely well.

Bridge, tuning pegs, pickups, switch.. everything works fine.

Painting is flowless, and the wood under the colour looks better than in photo.

The feeling is that of a guitar which costs 1.000? more at least. I'd buy it again without any doubt.

a great guitar

nice guitar great sustain

good action

good bright tel /p90 sound clean and warm

the sunburst finish is a little dull

but over all a very good guitar

Different take on the Tele

Bought this on a whim really, liked the look and was interested to hear what the Roswell 'toaster' pickups sounded like.

Bought the sunburst model and I was pleased with the build quality and looks; flawless out of the box. A solid, quite heavy guitar that feels good to hold. Good neck, everything feels solid and reliable.

Interesting tones. NOT a Telecaster sound, smoother and more natural sustain than a tele; in fact I was surprised just how smooth the Roswells are, nice Santana, Gilmour tones possible, clear and warm on a clean amp but can put out some grunt as well with some gain. The toasters give a nice even output across the strings and though not really powerful do a good job with good clarity and nice bluesy sustain when needed. Finding it great for blues playing.

Overall, a nice well-made guitar
