that's the greatest sounding telecaster i've ever heard
I just got one. I am stunned. No plans to upgrade. Not even new strings and polish the frets. But the quality of the build would be excellent for upgrading if you are so inclined.
Thank you,grazie.Great video and beautiful sound. I bought the harley benton TE52 3 months ago. For its price is very very good telecaster. I've loved especially the sound of the neck pickup. After 2 months i've changed the pickups with fender tele 64 pickups, i put the same string tree by the graph tech, new tuners by gotoh,new brass saddles by fender,new pots by cts ,a new nuts and a new fender 3 vie selector !! Now ,i think my TE52 can compete with fender tele vintera and fender tele performer and it is better than fender player plus. Greetings from Italy
Good work.
Smooth as hell.
Great demo Haiko ! Thanks
Great playing and guitar tones.
What chords are you playing on first tune ?
I think this just goes to show that you don’t have to pay $1500 to get a great sound. Learn how to solder and set up guitars, and combine that knowledge with about $500, and you’ve got yourself a guitar that can compete with some of the best money can pay for.
Everyone that’s watching this video knows that once you get over a certain price point for a stock guitar, you’re just paying for preference rather than actually receiving a substantial increase in quality. Harley Benton has made it entirely possible now to say “ya know what, screw that price point! Let’s just bring it lower, and leave it on the consumer to upgrade if they want!”
…and that’s exactly what everyone who’s watching this is doing (or trying to do) right now
hear hear !!!
waiting for them to make more you monsters bought them all lol ! I was going to buy it for my birthday on the 16th but the website says 6 to 8 weeks wait. so I will have super sweet dreams until then
Came back this morning to sub. My guitar is on iit's way, not sure if I will mod it or not, i generally don't. That old Silverface Bassman needs upgrading to my home in Texas!!! LOLI Man it sounds great. I had an old 68 Super and I miss it. I want a Twin, thinking if a Tonemaster. No money anymore for what I really want. I have been very happy with my Boss Katana for rock sounds...well, for all, actually. If you get bored check it out. I'm playing a semi budget guitar that is the best sleeper guitar I know of. I have two, when I find another I'll tell you what it is!! They stopped making them in 94, and I like it every bit as much as my old 335.
It seems you put a lot of money time and effort into it where's I would have went for a fender MIM as there great guitars and maybe just changed the tuners or the bridge but that's only if I had to, sounds great and you did a fine job 👍🏼
Great demo. I'm sold...what size frets are on there, would you say medium jumbo? Thanks!!!!
Super helpful demo!!
Amazing guitar! I have the same, but new models....with this s upgrade it is wonderful guitar!
Hi man! Amazing solos! Thanks for sharing.....how much is the cost of all part? I have the same guitar. Cheers! :-)
Hallo Heiko, ein Vergleich wäre cool! Mit der Original Hardware!
Nice vid. I have one of these and I like it ,stock. Very few people mention the nearly 14" radius fingerboard. I'm OK with it but that is substantially different to the , generally, 9 1/2" standard radius.
Like my Mrs says "fat is good" 😎 god bless gerth!
I love this guitar 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️
Nice sound, liked the pickups. The amp is the fender?
Thank you, yeah that´s a silverface bassman from 1973 i think
Kurwa jakie piękne brzmienie z tym crunchem
Looks great....Sounds great.....and saved a ton of money.
Somebody on craigslist has a new one for 160. How was the playability stock? Did you like the original pickups? Sharp frets?
It really felt great straight out of the box - very heavy though! The frets were great, there was no polishing or fret treating necessary. Only thing that was strange was that the string sleeves on the back were loose - at least on mine
@@haikoheinz7359 they're loose on mine too. It's my first Tele. Are they not supposed to be like that then?
@@ericlinfoot7419 it´s normal with this model i supuuse but i think the vibration transports better on the body if they are not loose
I got the t-90 dakl paisley, better than my '82 tele. cost me less than 200 bucks!
Nice video, do you think she's as good than Squier Afinnity? What to say about fretwork and neck comfort? Thank you
Thank you! Actually i have a squier affinity tele and think the Harley Benton, at least the TE52 is far superior regarding bult quality parts and especially fretwork
How did you remove the logo on the headstock?
I used a card scraper
Such a pro
Would you say its worth it to get a Classic Vibe for eur370 or get TE-52 and upgrade it with eur200?
I don´t know the classic vibe but by ugrading the TE52 I´d say you get a guitar that easily sounds like a 1000,-€ Tele at least
@@haikoheinz7359 danke für den hinweis und schönes neues
Awesome job! How did you remove the headstock logos? What product did you use to re finish it and the neck? Thanks
Thank you! I removed it with a scraper and then steel wool but didn´t refinish it. I just left it natural and oiled it with Dr. Ducks Axe Wax.
@@haikoheinz7359 do you notice a big difference from the old stock to the new pickups?
@@AMP-gh4vt yes absolutely, you can improve the quality by changing them
@@haikoheinz7359 btw what's that black cloth looking thing on the headstock strings?
@@AMP-gh4vt that‘s a Fret Wrap by GruvGear
How can they produce it and make a profit, I've spent thousands on names 🤔 😫 😔
Another video says this guitar weighs 10 lbs!!! Does yours weigh this much?
😀 Not quite but it‘s really heavy - 4kg
which song is it from 2:44 ? Nice chords and playing.
Thanks so much- thats just Am7 - D7 - Gmaj7
what does it weigh I heard some of these can get very heavy
That‘s unfortunately right-it’s the heaviest Guitar i posess, and weighs north of 4kg
@@haikoheinz7359 thanks for the reply. Im considering the TE-20 as an alternative as it has a basswood body
@@phililpb Yeah but the 52 Sounds really best among the HBs
3:15 turtles ninja chords, мы не жалкие букашки, супер ниндзя черепашки
Now demo it on a no name rig and see the comparison.
This te52na needs nothing waste of money and the headstocks finish and logo removed just ruined it.
moto motoe5 fine, then keep yours original
Needs nothing...but CAN be improved with better pups...tuners...that's about it. But yes...GREAT guitar...and for only $150 or so. Love mine...all f'ing 10 pounds of it.
