I think it does a really great job of keeping a very traditional look which I love. It’s a high gloss finish that will appeal to some but not others. The finish on the body is a solid 9/10 as well. For those with strong backs, you won’t have any problems with it. I am sure this will vary so just be forewarned that the weight might be an issue for some. I have a Les Paul and it’s about the same weight. My only small complaint is the guitar is quite heavy. In terms of how the guitar feels in the hand, it’s a solid 9. They have all the chicken-picking spank you could want clean so if this is your thing, you’ll dig it. Anything up to around a heavy blues/rock sound should be fine. Will I replace the pickups? No way! The pickups can handle a moderate amount of gain before they will experience feedback. One thing that shocked me was how great they sounded clean and dirty but also how much “chirp” the neck pickup had! I’ve replaced pickups a number of times in my Fender Telecaster looking for the top end bite on the neck pickup but the Roswell just has it. It features a nice thick 50’s style neck, two single coil pickups, and lots of Tele Mojo thanks to the Roswell pickups included in the guitar. The Harley Benton TE-52 is inspired by a 50’s Fender Telecaster. Recently, I’ve had a chance to test a few of them in person and I have to say the hype is justified.
I never quite knew whether or not a lot of the favorable reviews were “encouraged” reviews or if they were just great guitars. Over the last few years, I’ve seen a lot of hype over Harley Benton guitars. Harley Benton TE-52 Telecaster Guitar Review
