Very Nice!!

Very Nice guitar for the price. looks amazing, sounds good. I changed the strings just for my personal preference.

There was a hint that someone had played it.

The sound is good. No problem.

But there were signs that someone had played it and the strings were discoloured.

The pods and jack were loose, so I fixed them myself.

What on earth is a pre-shipment check?

Fabulous Guitar

I have guitars in all price ranges and this one is up there with build quality and playability. I was so impressed I bought the PRS 24 model as well in flame maple blue and that one is even better. Harley Benton is the way to go if you want quality and value.

Fantastic guitar!

I watched a lot of reviews of, "inexpensive but good", guitars, so I was not expecting a perfect guitar. When the guitar arrived, (in under a week from Germany to the U.S.!), I pulled it out of the box, tuned it up to discover the action and intonation was spot on perfect. The neck looks great, the frets were well dressed, no tooling marks on the edges at all. The body, the finish, the binding on the F holes all look perfect. The pots work fine and the pickups sound very good, it makes just the kind of sound I bought it for. Color me extremely satisfied.

Unbelievable instrument.

Firstly, the guitar is an instrument of great beauty. It plays like a dream and I much prefer it to my Gibson Les Paul. If it was lost , dtolen or damaged I would replace it the next day. Not sure why people write 1000 word reviews. I can't find any cons so I would just say , buy it. It is hard to believe such a great guitar can be bought for less than £200

Near Perfect

Other than tuning, this was playable out of the box. Usable action, good neck relief, near perfect intonation, smooth pots. It sounds as it should, and is absolutely gorgeous. Even the tuners are surprisingly smooth. This would be a decent value at double the price.

Wow, what a great guitar for the money

Wow, what a great guitar for the money. Out of the box very playable. The P-90’s in it have a great tone. Looks great too. If you at thinking about getting one stop and just do it. You can’t go wrong with it.

Overall great guitar!

Plays great sounds great, and feels great. The tuners do the job and keep it in tune, the only critique I have is I wish the wires were tucked away a little better. You can see them from the F holes.

Unexpectedly good.

Great look and sound, the scratching frets are all the more annoying. But it is clear that with a smooth neck this charm would cost much more.

Fell in love with it

Hands down the best buy for that price. It sounds good, it's unique and it looks great.

I have five Harley Benton guitars in including two kits. All surpassed my expectations.

I like playing blues and the TE-90QM is ideal for me.

I had been playing Bass Guitar semi pro for years and decided to learn to play guitar,

Struggled a bit with chords till I got this guitar and found that my playing improved greatly.

I did not have to adjust it in anyway, it played right out of the box.

Intonation had been set correctly as had the sting height.

The pickups are versatile in tone and are uniform in volume throughout the total range.

My son has some very expensive guitars and though he has loaned me to them Im not tempted to buy similar.

The Harley Benton guitars are outstanding value and just as good in build and sound quality as much more expensive ones.

Dont hesitate I highly recommend this one .

Mind Blown

Hey all,

So I originally came across the Harley Benton name in my search for a new 2x12 cabinet, at the time I saw they made guitars and didn't think anything of it other than I would never waste my money on a cheap knock off. SO days later in my amp search I kept seeing You Tube videos on these guitars, not looking for a new guitar as I had just received my new PRS Custom 22 one week ago, I made the mistake of watching several videos on the TE-90QM. The more I watch the more my interest was peeked so I decided to pull the trigger. I ordered the guitar and wow!!! Mind Blown 🤯!!!!! This thing is fantastic straight out of the box it was pretty great. I can honestly tell you that the quality is on par with any of my 17 other Axe's, if not better then several of my Epiphones... Well done Harley Benton well done, new customer and free advertisement here in Kansas City...

Fantastic value

I’ve been playing for two years and decided I’d like to “upgrade” on my budget epiphyte. In my opinion, This is a first rate guitar at a superb price. Can’t understand why anybody would want to pay hundreds more for a “brand”. Easy to play, great sound and beautifully finished. Well done HB.

Looks like jewellery and plays better than it looks!

This guitar would be great at just about any price range. I've been playing pro and semie-pro for 38 years and I am blown away by this supposedly "entry level" instrument.

Awesome guitar

Has some intonation issues, but looks premium, sounds versatile.

Harley Benton TE-90QM Trans Red

Normally I would say that you get what you pay for, but in this case you get WAY more than you pay for. This is a fantastic guitar for the price. Fit and finish is impeccable.

Frets are rolled, crowned and dressed. Plays, looks & sounds fantastic!

Amazing guitar... but need some adjustments

Out of the box it was not playable because some strings were buzzing on some frets. Little neck and bridge adjustment helped and now it's perfect instrument and sounds really cool! (key for neck adjustment unfortunatly not included!) Anyway I think the guitar is worth of its price.

Best guitar from location

Action is pretty low. Sounds is sweet. I’ll pick up this guitar more.

Very Nice guitar for the price

Excellent quality for the price. Sounds good and feels good. Box arrived beat up. But the contents were in excellent shape and packed for protection. It travelled from Germany to Canada and was still in tune when it arrived. Absolutely beautiful guitar. Highly recommended. I can not think of another brand that compares for the price. For the same quality in another brand you will pay 3 times the price.
