NGD - Harley Benton TE-62 SFG

[theleman]

I was thrilled to add this HB TE-62 SFG into my guitar collection. It looks, plays and sounds good. Will become my GOTO Guitar.
The caramelised neck is joy to play. Even a rusty player like me feels quite comfortable and easier to play the guitar. Would be interesting to see how it compares with Squier CV / Deluxe Tele, which I will be getting in the future.

Beautiful ( and my budget, too!) Do they make this same model/ color with a RW ( probably Santos RW or similar, I know) fingerboard? ( just always listed for a '60-style Tele w/RW)
Edit:
Looks like there is a Lake Placid Blue '62, w/ Laurel board ( cheap RW sub.) and binding. Nice!

I haven't seen one with RWFB. It would be nice to have both type.
This guitar rings and rings can feel the vibration of the body into my abdomen when playing

Lovely colour. Are the frets stainless too?

 

[Alamo]

Nice guitar.
I've been eyeing the Inca silver one. but heck, do I really need another Tele?
how light or heavy is yours?

I don't think they are stainless.

It's not too heavy but not too light either.
3.25 kg on my scale. Perfect comfy weight.

Inca Silver nice too.

I'm thinking before its all over, I will have to score a TE 62CC (?) the non bound one ... just for when I do not feel up to hoisting the awesome fully grained Ash bodied Two Ton Teles (Should really call' em "LED Zeppelin" as they are as heavy as lead, but very pretty gurls that sound great.)

I have a lightly used MIM classic 60s neck, looking for a home. The double bound LPB might just be that home.

I have a Gretsch baritone with a Laurel fretboard... and there is nothing "cheap" about it. After many rosewood fretboards, then Pau Ferro (SRV's Favorite (?) on his siggy model long before it became "green") Then Ebony, and then Laurel and finally roasted maple ... I do not understand all the consternation or slings and arrows directed towards anything that is not ... "rosewood" . Its as all good to me ...

I did not mean 'cheap' so much as 'alternate to' or 'sub. for' rosewood.
And I do think it is a less expensive, and more sustainable/greener for environment wood.

Check out my Blueridge ( gigging last night and soon, this morning)
Body is solid Pau Ferro and fingerboard & bridge too.
Fantastic sound/great player, and beautiful!
