Harley Benton TE-62DB LPB

I hate to say it but this Tele was a real disappointment. Of course, I should have sent it back due to the weight alone of 8 1/2 lb., but being overseas postage is prohibitive. Metric world simply divide by 2.2. Fart too heavy for a Tele. I could have bought an LP clone at 9 pounds which would have really kicked ass. Sadly, punches well below its weight. The neck pickup is extremely weak in contrast to the bridge. As always, try before you buy.

The craftsmanship is really good on this guitar. I bought this knowing I was going to replace the pickups and electronics. What I didn’t know was that the neck and the string spacing between strings is so small that you can’t even do chords on it! I have small hands and still can’t make chords on this guitar. The string spacing would maybe work for a small child or someone with real small hands, but the string spacing is not what you would find on a fender. I am pretty sad I bought a guitar I can’t even use.
