SOLD: Harley Benton HH tele £90
Cheap and cheerful Harley Benton tele. Don't know the year but I believe it is an earlier version of the current TE-40 TBK Deluxe, because most of the specs are the same but it has Wilkinson pickups instead of Roswell. String through body, which is contoured top and bottom. Neck has a matte finish and feels really good. Frets are mostly OK but some of the fret ends high up near the body are a little sharp. Doesn't show in the photos but colour is a rather attractive transparent black over a (fake) rosewood veneer. Overall in pretty good condition: couple of minor marks, some tarnishing on the backplate of the neck.
Point is, it's playable, it can be modded, it can be used as a backup, it can be used as a gigging guitar (and weapon) for when you play in really unsavoury places, and it is on sale for £90 shipped.
Comments
Sure, the finishing isn't quite perfect and the frets could have been polished a bit more but the neck is comfy as hell, it stays in tune, and it sounds like a damn proper tele.
Have a recommendation!!
