What a purchase.
Okay, my first Harvey Benton, like others I was interested in how they keep getting such good reviews for a more budget guitar.
Well it is absolutely superb, sure many more expensive guitars may may leave it in the shade if you are a master musician but as a new (to playing left handed) guitarist, it is everything you could want at a superb price.
The build quality is A rated as was the setup, just tune and plug in ( lead to amplifier thrown in also) and play. As a newbie my playing is quite poor (actually dreadful but I have damaged my left hand and this allows me to play) but the sound is excellent, zero sharp frets, quality control at Thomann is amazing. As my left handed(ness) improves I may upgrade but will be happy to gig with this guitar.
Looks wise it is simple and effective, everything but the pick guard is black and this suits the guitar perfectly, I suppose with humbuckers on a telecaster it is a bit of a hybrid but it definitely works.
Thomanns service over the Christmas and New Year period was perfect, delivered in the time frame they have on their site even with all the Bank Holidays.

Hits the mark!
40+ years of playing left-handed guitars this TE is a welcome addition. The HH pick-up configuration for lefty’s is rare. Harley-Benton has recognized they can balance this out with reasonable costs and variety of configurations and models.
2 weeks in the guitar plays great, Neck is straight and decent set-up.Tuners hold tune very well I was going to swap them out first but no reason right now. I’ve changed my mind in modding this out as soon as I got it. After playing it for a couple weeks I’ve decided to feel this one out for a while and enjoy it.

A dream come true!
This guitar became my favorite as soon as received. Beautifully crafted, no flaws. Excellent playability and sound and great price. It’s a piece of conversation!

Excellent piece for Metal!
Great Beginner/Mod Project piece. You'd expect shoddy fretwork finishing and leftover residue/glue, but all of that can be ignored for that price point!! plus it feels and looks perfect while playing. Stock Pickups are muddy but can be replaced for customs as per requirement.
Definite buy for a metal-head.
Thank you Thomann for thinking of Lefties.

Bridge isn't installed properly
everything about this guitar is great except as far as I can tell the bridge is mounted in the wrong spot so the strings are crooked to the point that the bottom string is right on the edge of the fretboard down the length of the neck. who ever checked this over before shipping failed as I could tell it was off as soon as I took out out of the box. besides that it feels great but that just makes it unplayable.

Cheese grater fretboard surprise!
Arrived with a bowed neck and fret sprout on BOTH sides of the neck. Not for a beginner. Tools and know how needed to make this guitar playable. Once done, it's a fine rocker with plenty of snarl!

Wow
Bought this guitar as a modding platform, but was floored by how good it sounded right out of the box. neck needed minor adjustment, but I expected that. I'm done with the mods now, and for about $250 total this is an amazing guitar, couldn't be happier.
