I'm no stranger to teles; I've had Fenders from Mexico, USA and Japan, as well as several vintage telecasters from different brands. To be clear, this guitar is in no way rivaling the full-fat US or Japan telecasters I've played. But it's also about 10% of their price so it would be unfair to expect it to.
When I was a beginner, Harley Benton guitars were (I'm sorry, Thomann) only slightly better than a wire on a coat hanger. This is not the case anymore. This guitar is very resonant unplugged, well-built and plays well! The frets are quite well dressed and there are no obvious high ones on mine. I cannot overstate how impressive this is at the price point.
Naturally, the electronics and hardware are noticeable cheap. Fortunately, these are the parts of the guitar that are least important, as they're simple and affordable to swap out. In other words, this is a fantastic instrument for a beginner/intermediate guitar player to use, but can also be a great modding platform!
What can I say? At €150, I've bought single pickups for more, and yet: the Harley Benton TE-62 is a guitar that I'd happily bring with me into the studio.
