Hmmm
I bought this to go on my harley benton te-30 as I found the original pearl scratchplate a tad garish. The original whilst being not to my tastes was of a high quality. This scratchplate doesn't feel as thick it also doesn't have the right angled sides, in all honestly it just looks like a piece of black mat acrylic. I asumed being a Harley benton product it would fit my guitar but I had to drill two into the scratchplate for the neck pick up screws and I also had to drill holes into the guitar as the original holes didn't line up. Believe me... its not something I took great pleasure in despite being a budget guitar. Overall I do think it looks better but it wasn't a fantastic experience getting it on.

not fitting on HB tele
I bought it for my HB TE20, the fact that the holes are not matching is ok, I read reviews and I was prepared. But the contour of horn is not matching also, that is I think not nice. They should specify which HB guitar are good for this pickguard. Fortunately my tele is black so you dont see it that much but on other colors it can look weird.
The pickguard in one ply plastic with matte finish.

Doesn't Fit TE-30
The description of the product suggested it would fit a Harley Benton TE-30. This is not the case. It's not just a matter of the screws not matching up - it's far too short and also doesn't go flush over the switch plate (it sits on top of it).
Also a very ugly, rough cut. Avoid.

Should it have been a straight swap?
Bought a B stock Harley Benton Telecaster type guitar because it was too good a price not to. The guitar itself just needed a little adjustment to get it a little more 'me' so a swap from white to black pickguard was essential.
This pickguard is really good for the price and as always, the service from Thomann was unbeatable. Even once the UK postal service got their hands on it, it still arrived really quickly. There were no pup adjustment screw holes but I'm sure there must be a reason.
My only real issue was that 2 of the screw holes didn't line up with the holes on the guitar and so new ones had to be drilled in the guitar body. As both products were Harley Benton I would have thought they would have matched but... no big deal!

Doesnt fit Harley Benton Telecaster.
I bought this item to fit to replace the white pickguard that came in my Harley Benton build it yourself telecaster guitar kit. As this is also a Harley Benton product I assumed that it would easily retro fit onto the Harley Benton telecaster. However, this is not the case, the pickguard is a different shape and the screw holes are in different places requiring extra drilling.
As for the quality of the product its self it seems very good and would be ideal if it did fit!

Great material, approximate fit
Great look, material looks high quality.
Doesn't fit perfectly in the t-kit guitar, but with some dremel work is now fine, and improve the look of the guitar a lot.

Well made and good material
Very good material and well cut.
I recommend it. Although it may not fit all Telecaster types of guitars.
