Harley Benton Custom Tele
A perfect easy playing starter guitar with a super easy playing action for a new learner's fingers.

I bought this as a telecaster where the body was much nicer than the neck fitted to it; so off with the neck and search for a neck that both suited aesthetically and played really nicely.
Although a learner is less likely to be worried by a slightly wooly tone from a screened neck pickup, I could not stop myself taking its chromed metal cover off and raising it closer to the strings... then of course I needed to lift the bridge one too to get the volume balanced okay.Now you have one very loud telecaster!
For a learner mastering chords, the most vital aspect of a guitar is that it must have a super low easy string action in the first few frets.I took great trouble re cutting each string groove to give half a mill or less of action... means your chords can be held with the lightest finger tip pressure.It also makes the effective distance between strings greater being lower, so your fingers have less tendency to touch the adjacent strings.
I was playing this again this morning in the studio and it gets top maks in both playability and that full raunchy telecaster tone... helped maybe by the full output pickups driving a strong signal through the amp.
This would cut it with any Fender version in a gig, but I have priced it for a learner to get started with.Thanks for taking a look,Mark D Phillips....... (Phillips Cleartone Guitars)
