Good semi hollow guitar

Good finish and playable guitar.

Often used as a couch guitar unplugged where it really shines.

All frets and hardware well finished and functional.

Would recommend as a value semi hollow guitar.

Amazing guitar

I couldn’t believe how good this guitar would be.

Harley Benton, you did it again, and again, and again.

Thank you.

Crazy good for the price.

The P90's on the TE-90QM are superb. That's always a challenge on guitars, especially ones at mind blowing prices. Well the P90's on this one really deliver. I have a 1966 Fender Telecaster that my Dad had bought for me brand new back then, and I still have. I took a P90 off of a Gibson 1961-63 SG Les paul neck position, and put it center position on my Tele. The P90 on this TE sounds every bit as good.

It has a good feel to it, and the quilted maple on the top is not lacking an any way. I did have one problem with it, in that the toggle switch must have had some dust in it, because the bridge pickup didn't always connect. Some DeOxit without the oil is the cure.

So, overall, this guitar sounds good, looks good, and besides the cleaning of the toggle switch, everything functions beautifully. Highly recommended.

Doesn’t get much better

For an entry level telecaster you really can’t get any better at this price point. Beautiful styling and finish. The only thing I wasn’t fussy about is the pickups but those can be changed.

This guitar has become one of my favorites in my collection. The P90's have a wonderful tone. Playability and construction are excellent.

I call her "Ruby". What a great value !

Fantastic Guitar

This is my favorite guitar, the quality of the build, the components, and the light weight are major factors. As an older player I need a light guitar and this one is my favorite so far from Harley Benton.

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.

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.
