Great looking tele
This tele with its double bound body looks beautiful. The body is a bit thinner and the body edges are not contoured.
Neck, frets, intonation, everything absolutely great.
The bridge pickup is nearer to the saddles and hence the bridge pickup is a bit sharper, but you can dampen it with the tone control. The pots are right-handed pots reverse wired for lefty turn, so no real functional sweep on them. Either resolder righty or buy true lefty pots.
Generally a bit thinner sounding tele, but overall, a no brainer as regards value for money, absolute steal for the money.

All the fun for small money
All you can expect from a Telecaster for a fraction of the price you pay for higher end guitars. Superb finish, seriously I didn't find 1 single blemish, perfect fretwork and high quality finish switch, knobs and bridge. As for the sound, I have tried other high end Telecasters before deciding for this and this guitar reporoduces the nice mid range Telecasters are renowned for. Great guitar, great fun, Recommended.

Impressed!
The stock photos don’t justice to the actual in person appearance of this guitar. The fret work is great 👍🏼. Not a single blemish on the guitar. The action was a little high. Overall the quality is very good but I gave it four stars because volume knob is not set all the way down like the tone knob is. The nut is cut perfectly! The sound is good but eventually I will up grade the pups later. I really like this guitar. I’m was surprised to find that the 4 bolt plate holding the neck is etched with the Harley Benton logo, adds a nice touch 👍🏼.

My dream guitar, for less than 200 bucks
I'd wanted a double bound blue sparkle telecaster since I was a kid, having first seen one in the hands of Don Rich playing on the Buck Owens Ranch show.
But given that I'm left-handed, such things were not for me. Until Harley Benton came along! This guitar is beautiful, plays just right, has an exceptionally well-cut nut, and beautiful maple neck. I'll probably change the neck out eventually, but only because I'm a sucker for stainless frets, and it turns out there's a small army of luthiers on ebay in China making fender necks for cheap. Lack of stainless frets is my only minor issue with this axe. Otherwise, it's beautiful and perfect, and I'm deeply grateful to Harley Benton for making it.

Great Looking
Can’t really complain much about these guitars at this price. Beautiful finish , decent setup , no really sharp fret edges. But beware, the 10cent plastic volume and tone pots will disintegrate if you try to change the knobs.
