A review of the Harley Benton TE52 NA from Thomann. This is a Telecaster style guitar on a budget (£110) and, to cut a long story short, it is really good!
Demos
- Clean: bit.ly/2vWH2DA
- Overdrive: bit.ly/2HWm9gT
- High Gain: bit.ly/2JGtOgl
I didn’t use a noise gate for this to show you the real noise at high gain, but a noise gate does instantly fix it!
- Conclusion: bit.ly/2r96qQY
- Blind test with Fender Telecaster Standard: bit.ly/2jiP8xm
