A throwback to a classic!

Harley Benton TE-62 Tele-Style electric guitar

The T-Style guitar has been a staple of the popular music scene for ages. This meat-and-potatoes design has been serving well across genres for decades, well into the current day. With the Harley Benton TE-62CC, you can now get a classic model at a pretty low cost! The Harley Benton TE-62CC is inspired by the vibe of those original sought-after instruments, with features that will also appeal to the modern player. As always, Harley Benton has managed to make a guitar with quality features at a price that is hard to beat.

Vintage style with modern playability

The Harley Benton TE-62CC SP is a traditional T-Style bolt-on neck guitar, with a few modern appointments to bring it into the 21st century. It has a poplar body, which you can get in four exciting custom color finishes. The Shell Pink finish is a throwback to those early colours of the ‘60s. This is paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, with 21 frets. A Roseacer ‘skunk stripe ‘on the back of the neck and the three barrel-saddles complete the vintage look. And those Roswell AlNiCo 5 pickups are sure to get you close to those classic tones. Updates for the modern player include a Modern D neck profile, which isn’t slim, but should be comfortable in the hand without ever getting the way of playing, and a dual-action truss rod.

The TE-62CC has you covered

The Harley Benton TE-62CC should satisfy all your T-Style needs. All the way from country twang to Chicago blues, through to hard rock, the TE-62CC will have you covered. And at a price so competitive, you might think it was aimed at beginners. But don’t be fooled by the price, many advanced players and tinkerers alike have become fans of the brand, who, with a few upgrades, are able to use their Harley Benton guitars as their main instruments, or as a reliable backup. If you’re looking for a modern guitar with all the bells and whistles, you’re looking in the wrong place. The TE-62CC is strictly a barebones instrument that pays homage to the early solidbody guitars of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

About Harley Benton

Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of numerous guitarists and bassists. In addition to an extensive range of stringed instruments, Thomann's house brand also offers a wide choice of amplifiers, speakers, effect pedals, and other accessories. In total, the range includes over 1,500 products. Built by established names in the industry, all Harley Benton products combine quality and reliability at attractive and affordable prices. The continuous expansion of the range ensures that Harley Benton always provides new, exciting, and innovative products that keep players perfectly in tune with the musical world, day after day.

A workhorse - on stage and in the home studio

T-Style instruments often get associated with country music, because of their distinctive ‘twangy’ tones. The traditional combination of bolt-on maple necks with single coil pickups provides a ‘snappy’ response that has been a hallmark of country and western music. But this style of guitar has not only been popular among Nashville players, but players of all styles from jazz to rock. The choice of tonewoods married to the Roswell AlNiCo V single coil pickups will give players a range of tones to play with, whether it’s hot smoking leads or crisp funky rhythms. Working musicians will find it to be a reliable workhorse or backup guitar, while beginners will find it a good way of dipping their toes in the electric guitar realm.

Great guitar, but a few issues
jonthor 21.02.2022
Overall, this is a great guitar and a phenomenal value for money. The fit and finish is good, caramelized maple neck feels good (although slightly chunky) and sounds good. The guitar is super light and I can play it for hours. However, mine did arrive with various issues (small neck pocket crack, very loose and slightly bent switch as well as a crooked tone pot. Thomann customer service is great as always and sent me replacement pots and switch for free.

Overall, the guitar is great but I was unluckly to receive a lemon. For the price, you can't go wrong and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a Tele style.

Everything It Claims To Be And More
Navy Groundhog 09.10.2022
I have had this guitar for two months now, and I'll be fast to say, this guitar is EXACTLY how it was advertised.

Everything on this guitar was perfect, firstly, sound: that twangy Tele sound is perfect, the pickups are extremely high quality, not an issue to be had here, each pickup selection sounds exactly as you'd want, which is surprising for this price point, this guitar is an absolute all-star, you can play anything on it easily, and it shines in most genres.

On top of this: no fret buzz on the default configuration for this guitar, I actually haven't done anything in terms of adjusting action, etc because the standard is fairly perfect for me (though the action was slightly high on arrival, I haven't adjusted it because it doesn't cause me issue nor bother me). I'd also like to add that the strings that came on the guitar are likely just as good quality as whatever you use, I have not had to change mine yet (at about 2-4 hours daily usage, for two months, including alt. tunings, both tuning up and down) they still sound as good as new.

And of course, Looks: This guitar looks as good as advertised, if not better, the soft, pastel pink, is even better looking in person, it's just deep enough to impact the looks of the guitar, but doesn't distract from the typical "mean" look of Tele style guitars; The fretboard is absolutely identical to the pictures, and so is just about everything else, including the tuning heads and all.

Overall: This guitar will turn heads in all categories, looks, sound, feel, and arguably most importantly, price point.

I am not going to play the price vs quality game. Either a guitar is good or not and I dont care if it costs 5 or 2 thousands euros. And this guitar is absolutely OK. Straight out of the box it was set up perfectly, even the strings were fine. Only the switch is a little bit loose, but it works and thats all I need. I like the pickups very much and I m not going to change them. The tuners are perfect as well. I tuned the guitar the first day and after a week they still hold in tune. Soundwise it depends what amp or software are you using. I can make it sounds like heaven as well as a crap. Amp is almost always more important than a guitar. I own Squier Classic Vibe (400,-), Fender Mexican (1000,-), USA (1500,-) and Gibson Custom (4500,-). This Benton is in the same league as Squier and both Fenders - quality and sound. Gibson is another league. Put this guitar into John Mayers hands or some of the youtube guys (Chriss Buck) and your jaws will drop. I also own HB TE 20. I bought it just for fun. And guess what? I really do have fun with that guitar. Although this 62 is twice as good (as the price). Dont be worried about buying it. It is not a beginner guitar.

Nice lil thing
hpr1 06.11.2022
Looks - it's amazing. The work on this is very well done and it looks stunning. No corners cut there and the craftsmanship is of what you would expect from a more expensive guitar. The only thing is the pick guard - it will not be white but lime green (you can always replace it so it's a minor thing). I ordered it for the color alone for my collection and I am happy with it.

Feel - there's some fret sprouting, action needs adjustment so while it's playable out of the box, needs some additional work to make it better.

Pickups - I would change them, although they do their work, it's not something I personally would drive as there's some quality loss in middle/neck pickups for sure. Bridge is quite okay.

Tuners hold up fine, stays in tune quite well and no issues here. Same is with the neck and bridge, look to be decent. But I will be looking down the line to replace them too (not a priority, pickups and fretwork are more important here).

Overall I would say it's worth the price (and even more so), I will be modifying and doing proper setup with luthier, as I see that this could be one of my main guitars given the good feel of the neck. It's just the pickups and minor fretwork that needs to be done. Oh, and for sure, please change the strings, oil the fret board as well and make necessary adjustments - this guitar is worth the additional investment to make it as good as 4-5 times more expensive guitars. No brainer, ideal guitar for backup or why not for even one of the mains if you are willing to adjust it to your specifics a bit!
