Harley Benton TE-62CC IS

This is an inexpensive Telecaster-like guitar that is able to render very well the spirit of the guitar-model it takes inspiration from.
I won't repeat here a list of the features/characteristics for which you're better off referring to the relevant product page. I will try to offer here instead a subjective opinion, a feeling, on the instrument.
Price-wise this guitar sits in the lower portion of the bunch, but the feeling you get while playing it and, more importantly, the sound you can obtain through this instrument are more at home in the medium / medium-high spectrum of available quality.
In general I find myself resorting more and more often to this guitar basically because despite being as basic as a telecaster can be it's still a lot of fun to play, mostly for the dynamic response you can get from the instrument but as well because its keyboard is precise and easy to use ..!
All in all I would consider this a good quality guitar even disregarding the price, but when you factor in the cost and compare what you get for what you spend it's definitely a crime not to bring this home.
Best of luck with this fun and inexpensive guitar!

I'm old enough to remember it being impossible to find a cheap guitar that was playable - so this is very welcome as a decent cheap spare stage guitar. Intonation and action were sorted out easily on this. I put a piezo bridge on and had a good look through the wiring. Switch, pots etc are all fine. The bridge pickup has a plate and there is a separate earth wire under the ashtray - so all good there. Fingerboard is a little narrow and neck a little thick for my liking - however they work with the 12" radius. I like the neck pickup but the bridge is weak - lacks the growl I want from a tele. I'll probably put a pair of tex mex on it

Be aware that this is not made from solid wood. It's some kind of MDF. I carve a forearm contour in my teles so in this case I had to paint - no big deal but be aware!

I ordered this tele clone with my hopes high mostly because of the positive rating it had, unfortunatelly the guitar wasnt exactly what i was expecting, the woods, the color finish and the parts were not bad of course but the really high action on the neck and the tasteless sound of the pick ups made me think that if i had to keep this guitar i should have invest more money in a professional setup and change of pick ups to something better, so in my honest opinion this guitar is totally worth the money and it offers good and quality materials(for the price) on the final instrument BUT, you will need more money to make a bunch of adjustaments and make it a guitar that you will really be pleased to play and enjoy. I hoped i helped
