The Artist Bullbucker pickups are outstanding. I bought a TC59 myself. A very capable guitar.

Order from Thomson and have shipped.
I love and kinda live that as well. I don’t mind the “same” guitar from different manufacturer or with a different layout.
I own (and gig) with all good, cheap guitars.
Some examples of guitars I DON'T have, but would like, are LP/SG Juniors or Specials ( P-90-style) and a Jazzmaster-type.
Harley Benton has their version of these, and their prices are my budget.
Would be fun to play all the stuff I play, but with different sounds, and looks too!
GAS got in the way, so I ordered one.
should be here on Monday. just in time for Keith's 79th birthday.

Why do I feel like this model is 'gonna jump off Harley Benton's shelves?!' And just in time for Holidays...GAS got in the way, so I ordered one.

Enjoy!
I’m going to have to check them out though I’ve had my fill of budget guitars. I have too many as is. Time to upgrade and down size.

I've had my hands on just two Harley Benton guitars, both telecasters. They were nice players, no complaints there at all, but both were heavy as heck. Close to 9 pounds, I'd say. Is that common for HB, or just coincidence in such a small sample?

Howdy gents.....joined this forum specifically because I just ordered the guitar in question, should be here Wednesday. It's hard to me to find info about the Tesla pickups, I was wondering if anyone has any scoop on how they are, if its an upgrade over the Roswells the HB Teles usually come with.
I had been browsing Thomann's site for Teles for the last month, (never owned one before) and when this popped up a few days ago it seemed like the upgrades were worth the price- bone nut, different tuners, pickups, bridge and the humbucker configuration. Hardly anything online about it yet, hoping it isn't a lemon.

I don't know how Tesla pickups are, just some info on their website:
Tesla Opus-4 Alnico-5 vintage Humbucker bridge pickup
I'll have to wait 'til Monday
btw, how much is the shipping cost to USA?

Too many strings.
I saw 64 listings, mostly guitars. Wish they would include some of those Mustang Micro knockoffs - $26 shipping is a deal breaker.

That's where I saw HB stateside. Reverb!
It seems that the Reverb stores prices equals the shipping if you bought straight from Thomann. You get a 30 day return policy though. Thats nice.
