Hi Dan -- I recently had a similar experience. I bought a Harley Benton HB-335 and I am still amazed at the quality for a guitar for that price. Best setup out of the box I've ever experienced. Excellent video and hope you continue to enjoy it. That is one awesome guitar... and you are correct about the frets -- they will be great after a couple days of playing.

It's nice and played in now, the minor fret roughness has gone or at the very least improved since unboxing. There is one area that is still there but only very slight. I reckon a quick fret polish will take care of that. It was only very minor to start with. Thanks for watching!

I have the TE-90 FLT in white / grey burst and it is simply my favourite guitar despite being around £600 less than my Fender Baja 50s Tele. I wouldn't even dream of changing the pickups - I think the Roswell's are superb. It cost me £166 from Thomann. Was in tune straight out of the box and well set up. What more can I say!

This is the high quality recording of this guitar, so I guess this is realistic picture of what it brings. I am really amazed by its sound. It easily reaches 3-4 times higher price range. I wouldn't be embarrassed standing on the stage with this one. It surely shows what the brand name products offer to players - 70% of brand name and 30% of guitar.

They even put stainless steel frets on £300 basses and guitars. I checked what the cheapest stainless steel fretted basses were before Harley Benton came along and it was Schecter and Ibanez tied at $1100. We've been fleeced for decades. I mean, they're made in the Cort factory and AFAIK Cort don't even make a stainless steel fretted bass of their own except maybe the Curbows but I wasn't able to verify that.

Got the Cst 24HB, SC Custom and the TE 90 FLT in VW, already Indonesian made, and lvve them all. Qualitywise the TE 90 is an amazing guitar! Compared to the former chinese production the Indonesian ones are huge step up! This orange blast looks really like an old whisky barrel like you mentioned in your video. I'm totally confused and tempted to order this (G.A.S. on) knowing that I already have this type. I'll wait a little bit because of the sungkai wood which I haven't heard before as a tonewood. Watching other reviews and customer comments on Thomann's website to get more informations about it. Lookwise it is an absolute stunning axe!!!

The guitar does keep tune and the frets will wear themselves in. The guitar has become quite addictive. I find myself grabbing it over my other more expensive guitars quite often. I wanted a Tele guitar without the Tele price and it has delivered big time!

I have one of the ash models and i love it. The pups are low output so the height is key... yet altering the height is difficult. I needed to raise the neck just a bit with a spacer underneath. Tuners are the low point. A keeper though. I wish Thomann had this color when i got mine. The tone's are unique for my collection. I have 2 SC-550's, a CST-24T, SC-Custom, TE-70 Paisley, and the TE-90FLT. I will be keeping these a long time.

I currently have 2, The Prince Telecaster, TE80 I think which has been upgraded with a Seymour Duncan Twang banger in the bridge and CTS 250k pots . I also have the older version of the HB35 which is a more authentic copy of the Gibson 335 before they caved in to pressure from Gibson. It has been upgraded with Kluson style tuners, a pair of Seymour Duncan 59’s and Alpha 500k pots! Hoping to add a Bigsby at some point! Both great guitars that play and sound way beyond their cost! As to others you should try, I’ve heard great things about their Les Paul Jr copies and the Fusion models! I’ve also played a friends ST62 vintage series Strat copy which I was impressed with. It was an older model with Wilkinson pickups which sounded great!

I got curious about the brand from several reviews I'd seen, and ordered the tele 70 dark Paisley, for 150 USD. Wasn't expecting much, and I was blown away by the quality. It's got all the playability of my American Custom Strat, and weighs as much as it does. The sound is indistinguishable to my ear, from a Fender Tele/ I don't understand how they sell these instruments at such a low price point. I'd advise anyone to plunk down $150 for one of these.

I have 3 HB electrics and two acoustics. The electrics were excellent out of the box, but the acoustics both need fairly intense setup. Not complaining...once properly setup, the acoustics (a 000 six string and a jumbo 12 string) are both great. The TE90QM has become my main guitar, even though I have an American Tele as well. The only mod I did to the TE90 was locking tuners. All in all, you just can't beat them for the quality at the price point. And by the way, your playing is awesome!

I have 2 Harley Benton guitars. The Harley Benton JB-75MN SB Vintage Series Jazz bass weighs a ton but other than that it is excellent, solid as a rock, plays a dream and the pick-ups are superb. Build quality A++. Much can be said for my Harley Benton HB-35Plus Vintage Burst Gibson 335 copy. Sound is incredible. Fretboard needs some playing in and some lemon oil and then good to go. Incredible value guitars and no they aren't paying me. They owe me nothing. I owe them, I've got very near the real thing for a fraction of the price.

got myself a Harley Benton SC-1000 Progressive Line. I am enjoying it so far as a guitar beginner. It's something that keeps me wanting to pick up the thing and learn with it, even though it's not an ESP/LTD EC-100, but it's as close as it gets as one of my dream guitars. It's perfectly set up just the way I like it, the frets are smooth... but the gripe I have with this thing is that it doesn't really stay in tune that well, so I'll consider swapping the nut and tuners first.

I bought one of these two years ago and still think it's a great guitar. Word of advice: polish the frets before playing. Otherwise playing off the roughness of the frets will cause you to muck up the fretboard. Which is a shame and a bother to clean up.

Way ahead of you. The day after this was filmed I gave them a polish up and gave the guitar a setup. Definitely an improvement. Thanks for the heads up 👍

Those guitars are so good. My friend has it. They have a chambered body which is amazing for the price. Any guitar that sounds acoustically good, is always going to be a winner. MY friend paid 149. It sounds superb. Perfect tuning and intonation. What a great quality sounding guitar. A bargain. Fender just released an anniversary model of that guitar which was $126,000 dollars. The DIAMOND CABRONITA TELECASTER. But fenders standard models of Cabronita start at about 360 pounds for (i think) i'ts a squire but it may not be........they go up from that price to be about $3000 each.} The reason the headstock is upside down is for licence reasons and Fender....also the switch at the top........otherwise it's identical to a Cabronita Telecaster.

Totally agree! I can’t speak for the overall QC of the Harley Benton’s as this is the only one I’ve ever played but this is above and beyond the price. I remember trying a Squier Cabronita and being quite disappointed. The neck finish was really thick poly and didn’t feel good at all. They’ve got this bang on! Thanks for watching 👍

@@DanLeggatt Yes Sir, i think it's one of the best examples of the levels of quality you can get from Harley Benton. Graphite nut, Baked fingerboard, Chambered body AT THAT PRICE? Kiesel will charge your $200 dollars JUST to bake a fingerboard or neck. In this example, the fingerboard has not been baked for aesthetic reasons, but more for sound reasons. Korean "WSC" hardware is very good........too

I recently bought my first Harley Benton, a CST-24T in Paradise Flame. I was impressed enough to order a Jazzmaster style guitar from them. Is it the equal of the PRS it copies? No, but I think it's at least as good as the majority of Squiers and Epiphones, and maybe as nice as a PRS SE. Of special note are the pickups. I thought I'd get the guitar and replace most of the hardware, but after playing it a bit, I'll probably keep them. Overall, I'm just very impressed. A really great value for the money.

I have the one with a natural finish. I don't know what you did, but the pick ups you have on your guitar sound infinitely better than the ones on mine. I always thought Roswell pickups were very mediocre but everyone insist that they are good, and your video certainly proves that. I agree with the tuners being below average but not entirely terrible. I tried to raise the pick up height but the pickups become really unstable and loose so i put them back where they originally were. If my Harley Benton sounded as good as yours, I'd give it a glowing review but it is now, I'd say it's pretty good guitar for the price. I've had so much worse more money. Excellent playing btw. Amazing tone.

Cheers! I have been really impressed with the pickups truth be told. I think the neck pickup could probably have a little more clarity for my taste but overall great. You could try raising the pole pieces with a screwdriver rather than the whole pickup possibly? I've raised one row of poles on my neck pickup to try and get a little more bite out of it.

I don't feel like you can go wrong for the money to be honest. It'll never be the most incredible guitar in the world but it punches well above it's weight. I think I may possibly look at upgrading the neck pickup at some point just for a little more clarity but other than that it's pretty kicking right out of the box.
