Harley Benton TE-20HH LH SBK

A bit over a year ago, I purchased the Harley Benton TE-20HH LH SBK, and I must say, for its very cheap price, it has really impressed me with its quality and sleek design.

Firstly, the build quality is surprisingly good for an entry-level guitar. The body feels solid, and the neck is smooth, making it comfortable to play. The dual humbucker pickups provide a rich, versatile sound that can handle a variety of genres, from rock to blues. This guitar offers great value for its price, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for an affordable left-handed option.

The design is another standout feature. The sleek black finish gives it a modern, stylish look that stands out on stage or at home. The minimalist aesthetic is both classy and appealing, adding to the overall appeal of the guitar.

However, there is a minor downside to the paint job. It seems to be quite easy to scratch, especially if you wear rings while playing. While this might be a concern for some, it hasn't bothered me at all. The scratches are superficial and don't detract from the overall look or performance of the guitar.

In conclusion, the Harley Benton TE-20HH LH SBK is an outstanding guitar for its price range. Its impressive quality, versatile sound, and sleek design make it a fantastic choice for left-handed players on a budget. Despite the easily scratched paint, it's a minor issue that doesn't overshadow the many positives of this guitar. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
