Harley Benton TE-53KR BL Tribute Series guitar, front view

The Harley Benton TE-53KR BL pays homage to one of the most legendary Rock guitarists in history, whose riffs and licks have influenced generations of musicians since the early '60s. A high-gloss ash body loaded with two Tesla Opus pickups that are governed by the traditional layout of a three-way switch and two knobs (one each for volume and tone), ensures a rocking sound from A to Z. The heat-treated maple neck in turn lends the guitar an appealing aesthetic and its comfortably slim profile and satin finish on the back ensure a natural playing feel over the entire 21-fret maple fingerboard. A gold-plated BT101 bridge with six individual saddles and a set of chrome-plated Kluson-style machine heads complete this very unique yet budget-friendly TE-style guitar. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a basic gig bag, a tuner, a strap, an instrument cable and a selection of plectrums.

Ready to rock

The blonde high-gloss finish of the body, along with the caramelised maple neck and the gold-plated bridge, gives the Harley Benton TE-53KR BL an elegant and traditional vintage look, to which the neck with its comfortable C-profile, medium-jumbo frets, and satin finish adds the playability of a modern instrument. While the gold-plated bridge houses a Tesla Opus-TE AlNiCo 5 single coil pickup, an Opus-4 AlNiCo 5 vintage humbucker is placed in the neck position, and this combination of pickups covers a range of tones that goes from razor-sharp clean sounds to warm and well-rounded timbres that are perfect for Blues. The classic TE-style circuitry with its three-way switch and controls for volume and tone is also straightforward and practical, just like the artist envisioned.

A worthy addition

Although the Harley Benton TE-53KR BL is primarily targeted at beginners thanks to its affordable price, this guitar will also be interesting for more advanced players who are looking to add a unique-sounding TE-style guitar to their existing arsenal without breaking the bank. With the bright and snappy-sounding Tesla single coil in the bridge position and the full-sounding Tesla vintage humbucker in the neck position, which can be selected individually or combined using the three-way blade switch, this instrument will capably handle everything from Country, Funk, and Blues through to gritty Rock & Roll. Classic Rock enthusiasts in particular will be drawn to the TE-53KR BL, especially given its user-friendly controls.

Simple yet versatile

The Harley Benton TE-53KR BL’s combination of an ash body and caramelised maple neck together with a pair of Tesla pickups gives the guitar a versatile edge.
