- I was never a fan of the Harley Benton Teles, but I am open to look at new models as they come out. This time around they improved this guitar quite a bit.. still a bit aggressive, but overall a clear recommendation!

I think you should talk about the point where this wouldn't be good for the price. When you say it's great for the price, you're obviously comparing it to other stuff in the price range, and of course comparing it to things that cost a bit more (but not 10X more). It would be useful to mention at what point this guitar wouldn't be good value for money. Would it still be worth it at $250, $350? Where does it start becoming "bad" for the price where there are much better options? I've seen some people saying that the TE62's are probably a bit better than a squier affinity, but maybe not as good as a classic vibe. I think it would be good if you could compare it to guitars that cost a bit more, and maybe a bit less to see where it stands against them.
I’ve been a Gibson and fender snob forever but the way these guitars play and feel has made me fall in love with the brand played one at a local pawn shop and absolutely loved it! Like butter in the hands frets felt nice too!
Your videos are 30mn of smiles, that's precious! Free positive energy source 😀
Thanks for the Lorbär. That was exactly what I expected from you😉. I enjoyed the pop intro song a lot. You are putting so much effort into your videos. The singer is also great. The video came just intime. The TE62 is a very interesting TE variant and is now more than ever on my radar. Keep up the great work.
A Message to Harley Benton! Please give this man a ticket to your factorys. I really would like to see the working conditions and where the wood comes from.... I am a fan btw, I am not a nameless critique bot from the deeps of the interweb. I owned my first 5 String Bass from you at 15 years old and now I am 33 and I still like the best bang for the buck.
I trust Henning, although I never met him but he seems like a honest dude, and when he says you guys behind the company are fine, so you have the benefit of the doubt. But beeing transparent is always better - Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser... :-)
Do you wanna know how and where your clothes are made, under which working conditions, where in Africa your phone's components are coming from? How are they extracted and by who? Do we care about where our gas is coming from? Who do we pay to get it in our country? Some people are very concerned about HB offshore production but have no problem in buying any other product made in countries where human rights are just a joke. Nothing personal against you, by the way.
you need to go tom thomanns site and have a loo around there? also Henning has been around their workshop and repair shop? but it would be hard to see the factory as they're in Vietnam? Indonesia ect?
Exactly this is why I care. I buy good clothes, and less of them. I wear them forever :) and btw I also care about other stuff. I am vegan and …. Blablabla :) so yeah I care about people and animals.
@@KomischerMensch I only felt positivity from your first comment but I also think that MC has a valid point in that most people give unequal attention to things and are very prone to herd mentality... I struggle with this myself, I have to keep reminding myself to ask 'why am I doing this?' 'why do I think this?' otherwise its easy to get brainwashed without realising
and it seems like MC cares himself but is tired of other people pushing their hypocritic views on the internet...
@@KomischerMensch Fair enough but can you take your soapbox somewhere else please.
These pickups sound awesome for this price range.
The treble/high-end difference between neck and bridge is a totally normal tele quirk, and speaks to the authenticity of this guitar’s design.
I love your videos, I almost never miss one! Nice representing and fun!
I love mine, candy red, can't leave it alone. I record with an sm57 through an orange crush 35rt and it sounds epic. Beautiful rich tones for such a budget priced guitar. The neck is one of the best that I have played in 50 years.
This sounds like a great tele. Seriously. Listening to the samples mid to end...It's incredible. I wouldn't change a thing after set up but maybe locking tuners.
Great intro production, as a guitarist I have been trying to pay more attention to bass and how the guitar and vocals interact with it. And I really noticed that section in the middle where that was no bass and I loved it presence in the coming sections even more. Makes it nice and groovy and the gliding vocals and staccato guitar really go well along with that. Haven't watched the demo yet xD
Thank you for making honest reviews.
I bought one of these , same color and I love it , got to tote my Peavy 100 valve king up to my studio now ,76lbs just to hear it with the tele
I just ordered one of these in Dakota Red. I can’t wait to get it. It sounds great. Love the opening track.
Now you have one more subscriber :-) really like it all ... You have a nice way of putting it across !!
Wow, I really liked the opening track. Call me crazy, but I got this really awesome 89/90 pop vibe... and the guitar really sounded great, it just really goes to show you how good the gear is today.
The binding is really beautiful. It makes this guitar look much better.
Thanks for the review! Put some brass saddles on it with pure nickel strings and it tames the shrill highs down nicely. Great guitars! Got this same model (different color) incoming on the current 25 anniversary sale promotion for 111 euros. There’s no beating this much guitar for that price.
Great looking tele, sounds good and the price is insane
I have multiple humbucker guitars, my fingers have been wanting to play around with a singlecoil for a while. The entry price on this might just have made that much easier. The fun video helps for sure too. Thanks mate
Stay away if you do not know how to level frets and cut nuts. You will have to replace the tuners, so probably a squier is a better option.
@@josearaujo8616 I don't think that is at all necessarily true. I have a year old TE-70 Black Paisley. Not one fret needed work, and the nut is perfectly fine. I did add locking tuners because I wanted to, not that I had too.
I'm sure there is a variation between these inexpensive guitars, but mine is great, and I'm thinking of getting one of these new TE-62's as well!
Thank you for the demo ! i prefer the overall handle of the te-62, this te-62 db is a bit too light for me... but she is so beautiful ! and the neck is perfect ! on the te-62 that i have returned, it was not perfect and not as smooth as the DB version.
I bought this one in black after sending back a 389 euro Squier CV Esquire (with basically the same look - just 1 pickup) because of a badly cut nut (vibrations at the high e) and visual flaws in the lacquer.
The HB TE-62 is flawless! The binding is so much cleaner than the Squier's and the wood of the neck is simply stunning. Warm dark caramel with very nice figuring. Fell in love with it right away. The sounds are very useable, but this is something I have to learn in time. Maybe adjust pickups or replace them, but I won't do this before I am completely familiar with the instrument. Gave the neck a bit more relief and lowered the action considerably. The frets are also perfect and perfectly polished.
Did I mention that I bought it B-stock for 129 euro???
I just snagged one for 148€ B stock and I agree, I have had not so good experiences with Squires. Mine is ancient but it really is horrible and with inflation cost twice as much as the HB. The neck is aweful, the pickups went straight into the garbage as did most of the hardware. Put in 300 bucks of mods. So now I have a great sounding guitar that feels like shit to play and buzzes all over the place... it is a Bullet but still... I'd like to get an Affinity Strat to put my pricey hardware in but now I'm not sure. May as well pay less for an HB that comes with a usable neck and a good basic guitar, that is worth modding. I do already have an HB and that is extremely good but it cost almost 400€. But it holds it's own against the Gibson and ESP I have (SC550+). So I'm hoping this Tele can compete with the best Squires or some of the cheaper Fenders. I'll replace the pickups anyway with Toneriders and then if it's a nice feeling guitar that'll be hell of a deal, call it 250 bucks for guitar, pickups and a bridge that can intonate all 6 strings independently. VS. spending the same on an Affinty for ceramic pickups and hardware that's likely no better. I'm sure they are doing better with the necks but man is that Bullet neck on my Strat aweful. It feels like someone purposely made it unpleasant to play.
Bought one. Sent it back! It was f'ing great though, I didn't _want_ to send it back, it was that good. I hope I don't regret my decision and that the replacement is _just as good_ (or better) but has been properly finished on the back of the neck (a huge swathe of the neck around the skunk-stripe was basically bare wood).
If anyone wants a great TE-62 DB in sparkling red, and likes to sand the back of yer necks, then this week there is a B-Stock one at Thomann that would be right up your street.
Hey Henning. I want to say that your always honest about Harley Benton guitars. So let people talk sh*t, you're doing very well !
Have budget Guitar’s ever been this good? Not only better then ever but you don’t have to look to hard to find a good one. Good video, thanks
Awesome, love the music with singing 💗👏
I have this LPD DB tele since it came out in January. Super guitar with a real D shape neck which I like! I replaced the pickups with Fender Vintera ones .....:-)))) and I changed the tuners for locking ones. Super guitar....I just love it.
Vintera p'ups are excellent choice.
Is that D profile thinner than the C one? I found the C too big for me.
@@jphvnet No the D shape is thicker than a C - then the D shape is not for you…
What tuners did you buy?
@@othercFame locking tuners from the music store
Beautiful song at the beginning of the video. I agree that the guitar is good for the price and is exquisite in its own way. The Tone King is well worth its price.
The opening song.......
I'm usually not very impressed by pop songs, I'm more of a rocker, but that was great. I really liked an album 25 years ago called Bachelor Girl and this song sounded to me lika it could have been on that album. The vocalist really sounded like Tania Doko and that is a compliment.
I have two HB teles. One 52 wich is quite good buth weighs 4,3 kg and one 62 which is more than one kg lighter than the 52. I had to route out the neck pocket on the 62 by two mm's though. The neck was sitting far too high in the body.
Great review. If I may... you should always mention the weight of the guitars you review, it is such an important piece of data.
They weigh like boat anchors. Bought one for my dinghy.
@@aliengrey6052 How did you know I needed one for my boat?
thanks for giving this a good bashing, you have convinced me to go and get one. ta.
Intro was great the girl is a great vocalist loved it thanks.
I seen Thomann have a few of them WITH hard cases too, kinda wish that colour Tele was with a hard case too!
I got a HB DC Jr FAT. I love it! Finish is perfect, played perfect out of the box (after tuning). Tried the CST24 P90 and, a few finish issues, didn´t like the tones, sent back without issue. They are cheap guitars, damn, I wish HB was around when I was learning 40 something years ago! Sometimes HB gets it wrong, most of the time its 110% spot on. Love them or hate them, you get a BIG bang for the buck.... I just hate the name.... Harley Benton? Seriously? I want the HB semi hollow P90 Tele.... Just know it will likely disappoint BUT.... If HB want to send me one to try, more than happy 🙂
Loved it! Looks and sounds like a great guitar for the money! Think I might buy a black one too! Say hello to Lesley, wasn't that the name? Ha ha!
Got mine last week. I like to mention that if you are wondering where the serial number is on this guitar it’s on that tag they attach to one of the tuners. So save it. Plus I was surprised to see that the 4 bolt metal plate on the rear has the etched HB logo. The one in this video did not have it.
Hi bud, I get your reasoning behind using top flight gear. But people buying The harley might not be able to afford that gear.. So I've enjoyed your honest review bud and been educated. 👍🥃Respect to you
Very nice, and a beautiful Tele type. I curious how you might compare this TE62 to the TE-52 NA Vintage Series?
I have the version of that with the roasted maple. It's so good!
If I was sitting there with my sunglasses in the back of a bar just listening I might be tempted to go up and say man that is a cool ass guitar what is that time now that thing sounds great!
I bought this years model VT52 Tele, with the American Ash body, caramelised maple neck/fretboard
and must say I've found the same? first 2, I was sent, went straight back, and fair play to thomann, they were great
in the end I chose to have the New one PLEK'd with a Bone nut carved, and intonation/Action set up, before shipping
and It's very good, for it's price? the Bridge pup, is microphonic, when full on! and needs a half tone knob down at least
Neck pup is creamy and nice, vintage series, so very 1950's like, but WOW! is it heavy???? just a smidge under 10 POUNDS???
9.75lbs on the scales? so it really does put you off picking it up? but i like the Neck Carve, as its thicker than most modern necks too
This guitar is a candidate for a treble bleed cap on the bridge pup. Not .22 standard cap but a smaller value to make the "overbite" more chewy rather than full on Nosferatu! I've done this several times to tame cheap pups for broke students. Couple of bucks and half an hour with a screwdriver and a soldering iron and this would be a great tone.
A wireing diagram would be great.
Wow those dear that looks like the house I was working on over here in Colorado when I pulled into the driveway there was about eight or nine deer hanging around munching on the scrumptions around the house I was working on
That intro pop tune is great! The vocal performance and vocal production is stunning! And your playing was as usual. Great I mean! Last year I got myself the HB Tele Kit so I have that sonic area covered.
Sounds very nice to ears. Both, vocal and guitar :-)
What's your go-to bass?
Awesome song ... and singer, both. Amazing guitar, my TE-62DB BK is always beside me, immediatly to grap and get a hold on to play, This axe is a high end cookie, ... axe, ... TE-Guitar 👌 (b.t.w., nice Beatles riffs, ... 😳🤭🤣)
Looks and sounds great.
Well 148€ B stock, I got one. Very excited. You did not steer me wrong with the SC550+ so I hope this will surprise me too. The 550 is just ridiculous, feels like a 1500€ guitar. So I'm hoping this can rival a MIM Fender and with decent pickups exceed it in sound.
It just came to mind when you showed the 4000+ tele on the wall. Is this one more equal to the old original tele? The new (high end / high budget) teles seem to be a bit "too improved". The flaws have gone. The biting high end of the bridge pickups have gone. The tele doesn't really sound like a tele anymore. But with HB, is the original tele back?
Hello mate, I am thinking of buying the Te 62 or the Te 52, which do you recommend better of the two?
Wow, what a price. First I thought that this guitar could not be good... But after your presentation I think with changing the bridge pickup you will get a nice guitar. I also don't like the biting tones from a Tele. If you have the chance to try a Tele from Sire (Larry Carlton), just do it. But of course it is more expensive. The Tele from Harley Benton could be a good guitar for beginners and maybe as a backup guitar. There are still a lot of options to get better tones out of this guitar and this don't have to be expensive.
Good playing sir;
Had a little scratchy Frets on the edges but didn't play it or anything just picked it up and ran my hand up and down the neck is what I usually do if it has scratchy frets I usually don't deal with it but the dressing could cost as much as the guitar anyway
I bought 2 - nice design and quality it is just amazing ! you just need to polish the frets a bit
Which do you think is better, this one or the te 52??
I believe you Harley are really good for the money 👍
but with my SC 550 I need a few little jobs done. The frets need a little clean up and the pots arent great. But it plays ok and sounds good surprisingly good
I have this exact model and it really is fantastic for the money. No need to change anything on it. Compared to a MIM Fender it's right up there.
No its not. HB cheap stuff is crap. Tunners are crap, fret job is crap, nuts are crap, playability out of the box is crap. It does not even compare to a yamaha pacifica, or even a squier, let alone a MIM Fender
@@josearaujo8616 You have no idea what you’re talking about. HB guitars have come a long way. I also have a MIM strat and a epiphone casino along with this TE62, and the HB is on par if not better. Also compared it to a USA tele my friend has, not much of a difference for 1/10th the price. Don’t be a gear snob dude. Fret job on the TE62 was perfect out of the box, freta were even polished, I was shocked. Stays in tune, intonation was spot on. Maybe you just got a lemon. I once got a classic vibe strat that was a lemon, 400€ and played like a 100€ guitar, sent it back, got the MIM which is great, just like this HB.
@@cogsincogs Tuners are still the same and they are the worst tuners in market.
I bought some HBs, all their cheap stuff is crap if you do not know how to set up a guitar or bass. Has no comparison to a MIM strat
@@josearaujo8616 They’re not, the tuners on the TE62 are good, I’d rate them on par with squier CV. But you do you man. Also, if your only arguments are “bad tuners” and “needs a setup” on a cheap guitar, then they must not be so bad, right? ;) I’ve played USA fenders that were horrific out of the box, just saying. This is my 4th HB guitar/bass and all of them were great for the money, but this TE62 is next level of bang for your buck, I can’t fault it. In a blindfold test, I bet you wouldn’t know which was which vs a MIM tele.
@@cogsincogs You are kidding right.
You can turn an HB tuner without anything happening, They can't maintain tunning stability. They are also well known for being ultimate crap
My point with cheap guitars needing set-ups is they defeat their own purpose for beginners, and should stop being marketed has a beginner guitar.
They are anti beginners because playability is really bad, and with the money you will spend to make them playable you can buy a much better guitar. Like a Yamaha Pacifica or a Ibanez Gio.
There are many good guitars for 250 -300 euros, even HBs
All guitars should be reviewed first on the basics. Tunning stability, fret leveling and polishing, and intonation, not only intonation on the open and 12 fret, but intonation on the neck. I discard relief, because weather can make guitar necks change, but even there, there are no excuses for shipping a guitar buzzing.
Can’t go wrong with that price 👍
Love that song !!
hahahaha you used the Ursa enrage sound effect from DotA for the Lorbeer xD
Would you compare this to an affinity or even better? Worse?
It sounds like a telecaster what more can you ask for it sounds really great. The TE62 is good.
Regarding intonation this guitar doesn't impress me. Stable in tuning maybe, but many chords don't sound right. Possibly manageable with the bridge setup, but sometimes it's just the frets and saddle which are not very well adjusted I guess. But you can get that with more expensive guitars too sadly.
Great review!
Where did you notice intonation issues in the video?
He's talking out of his ass.
I'm still waiting for the 7 string fan fret
have you trim the headstock cause the benton one is a bit angled
No I didn’t
cool video, thanks! I´m messing around with a DIY Tele (Rockinger) for 17 years now. Since I have a Kloppmann Tele 50s set in there (since 1 year) the Bridge Pickup surprisingly sounds very fat and amost warm. So I guess a Tele has not to be thin and shrill even with vintage correct specs. okay, comparing Kloppmann and Harley B. isn´t exactly fair....
Speaking of rockinger, they have a couple of reallx good tele pups, including a very fat sounding lead and strat versions of their 50s tele set. Glad that they still make great stuff.
Wow the rocket verb with the Benton woo and the 800 dang who needs to eat at Shanahan's where the stakes are 150 bucks when you can make a porterhouse at home for 20 just have to have a cast iron skillet and a broiler or you know a BBQ setup
Im usually not a fan of reliced guitars, and nor am I a fan of roasted, caramelised maple, for the purpose of stabilization or whatever, bc that is what carbon fibre or alu was invented for. However, Im wondering if HB can come up with convincingly aged bodies in combination with caramelised necks for an interesting price point. Thats where the appeal lies for me, youre halfway there to an aged guitar.
Greta song and this cute girl has such a good voice unlike many of todays modern singer she has more of a 70's vibe to her voice a great thing and of course great playing!
Do I need this guitar? No.
Will I buy it? Your god damn right I will !
I don't like Teles. I don't need an 8th guitar. I still bought it... first Tele that looked pretty to me and I once played a Tele in the store and had to begrudgingly admit it sounded fantastic. So did I need it? No. Will the voice in my head asking if I should have a Tele finally shut up? We shall see. 148€ for B stock... I'm excited to see how it compares to my similarly priced Squire Strat. Because that one... it's not good. It sounds great with the replacement pickups but the neck is aweful. I hope this one has a nice neck, then it's a great platform to mod.
But that one sounds Dynamo so what can I say should I get it should I get it should I get it?
Love the singer
I think that I know why I have a set of Bare Knuckle Brown Sugars, and a Fender MIM Classic 60s neck sitting in my workshop. that's a very atractive looking body.
When they were first make and Telly's there might not have been too much difference it's just now that there are vintage I'm talking about like the 52 telecasters Etc who knows?
I've noticed other channels, who don't get paid by Harley Benton, are not as enthusiastic as you are about Harley Benton. At any rate, I have two Harley Benton guitars and they are a great value for the money. The frets need polishing on the cheaper ones and that's about it.
why is no one reviewing the candy apple red one. That by far the sexiest version!
But it had the binding on it don't know if there's a difference probably not
Could you add a cheaper amp like a katana to the rack so we plebs know what to expect?
Completely agree.
Might have to flip that bridge pickup
Thing is I just saw one today in a pawn shop with the binding on it same guitar Lake Placid blue identical I think they wanted 119 bucks for it here in the USA so I go wait a minute I know my man has done some stuff on these Harley bentons so I might have to just swing by there put my $20 layaway on it or probably less than that not sure if it has the case but these people always give me a case so that might be the case to purchase this but I'll keep on listening I'm only parsley to your demo here Sage Rosemary and Tom
this dudes awesome
Another great telecaster from Harley Benton! I wonder if it's as heavy as my Harley Benton TE-52? ;)
Ugh for the intro song. the question is can you upgrade the guitar to play like an expensive guitar?
How do they do it? 159 Euros for a playable guitar, including shipping? And still making a profit! Great review, Henning! Thanks.
I'm guessing they feed the children building them in China the corpses from other children who died making them 24/7 without pay :p
I got the TE-52 and it's awesome~~ Heavy, yes but I like that too. Feels like a friggin' weapon.
@@PegeCovers How heavy is it? Have you weighed it? Is it like 3.8 kgs or more?
@@mylogify Haven't weighed it. But that and my JB-75 are both heavy as hell when compared to my other instruments.
It's not like you would not get something decent for around 200 from Yamaha or even Squire. Not even Chinese made (at least for the Yamaha Pacificas) iiirc and with a cut for the store on the top. Seems pretty reasonable for a company that is basically a wholesaler. And this Tele is just once pickup on top.
If you own the factory, most likely most of the supply chain and the complete value-added chain … it becomes much easier to be cheap. Now you basically can incredible cheap and the main question is not how cheap are you going to sell, but how much margin you think that you are getting away with when compared to the competition.
only tele seems to have right frequency not interfere with vocals and not get lost mix
The dog on the longsleeve looks like a virginia opossum.
No Felix!? OUTRAGEOUS! I demand to speak to the manager
Yours... DIsgusted of Tonbridge Wells (Mrs)
You can probably use the old lady's fingernail file kind of file down those upper Frets round them out a little bit
The one I saw look mint for $19
Ich würde sofort so eine HB Tele LPB DB kaufen, wenn es sie mit rosted maple fretboard gäbe. Gibt's aber nicht... 😢
Pauly does another paid demotion for Harley Benton! Sharp guitar but I'd change the pickups...
Paid or not, I say what I think!
I always wonder what Greg Koch would say. Was that a little John Cougar?
Is it available in red? I’ll check the website, I’ll use the link👍🏽
FYI I was watching funny cat videos while I listened to this… isn’t that how you’re supposed to do it? Then AATE!
Candy Apple Red. Looks nasty 😁
@@dr.s. do the candy apples have gummy worms or regular worms in them?
@@PooNinja that wasn't listed in the specs, you might have to send an email to Thomann. Or you get one of those car stickers that look like a worm and put it on the guitar. That would be a real metal machine 🤘 🤣
@@PooNinja
So hot, they have the caramelized worms in them! The candy tone-wood-worms!! Get 'em!😉😝
A fact is that any! Guitar needs a proper setup no matter the price (after purchase)
No, you cannot get them without binding because those ones do not come with the much-sought-after lorbeer fretboard.
By the way the trebleity is due to the cheap pickups H-B uses. It is worth upgrading.....Toneriders anyone?
The fingerprint problem is due to the far too shiny finish....
Everyone knows this guitar would play better if it came in Olympic white or cream 🤣. Come on Hb! Thanks to Henning for show casing this beautiful instrument!...Edit: with a maple fretboard of course. I think it will make a good 13th guitar, unless I pick up another two or three. before then. Here's to the animals.
tele's should be wired with the tone only effecting the bridge pickup so it can be used to balance the tone that's what 90% of tele players do to tame the guitar
but what if I prefer neck pickup? in fact, many musicians now transplant a Start neck p'up in there....
@@adrian_V99 hi i think you may have misunderstood me you would still have a neck pickup just that the tone control would only effect the bridge pickup meaning you could darken just that bright pickup without making the neck pickup darker too as almost everyone have the tone all the way up on the neck pickup all the time anyway
@@danmarshall3089 Sounds perfect. For jazzy tones player keep the tone control on neck almost all the way down.
Lorbeer is Laurel...like Laurel & Hardy!😄
I think Danny Gatton would like that one
Cheap Teles in Drop D have someting that no Iron Label can give me, i don't know why, please dont judge me
I do not understand or appreciate the send back rule by Thomann / HB, because this is not applied ''exaclty the same for every user'' depending on the location, I heared stories of customers in the US who had damaged guitar and in case of sending back they got like 100dollar damage refund, now I understand why they do that, sending a guitar back from the US to germany is expensive and not worth it if you talking about under 200dollar/euro guitars.And others had to send back the guitar(when in Europe) received another one with even more damage or factory screw up and had to send it back again, and waiting for a 3rd guitar for over a month! And I heared somewhere in one of the video's that guitars that have super flaws are dropped in a bin instead of repaired, and that some people receive a guitar with rusty strings, no setup at all, damn right unplayable and other ''suspecting'' their guitar recceived a full setup right out of the box? No matter if we speak about ''cheap guitar'' or ''bucks worth'' It is a bad advertisement since I can read a lot of opposite comments, some user ''claiming'' WOW freaking awesome I will buy another one and others I will never buy a HB again.We are not talking about taste here....Maybe a better quality check and set up will save Harley Benton and Thomann some money, get more customers and less claims...
