Harley Benton TE-62CC CF
A throwback to a classic!
The T-Style guitar has been a staple of the popular music scene for ages. This meat-and-potatoes design has been serving well across genres for decades, well into the current day. With the Harley Benton TE-62CC, you can now get a classic model at a pretty low cost! The Harley Benton TE-62CC is inspired by the vibe of those original sought-after instruments, with features that will also appeal to the modern player. As always, Harley Benton has managed to make a guitar with quality features at a price that is hard to beat.
Vintage style with modern playability
The Harley Benton TE-62CC CF is a traditional T-Style bolt-on neck guitar, with a few modern appointments to bring it into the 21st century. It has a basswood body, which you can get in four exciting finishes. This model features the custom colour Charcoal Frost. This is paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, with 21 frets. A Roseacer ‘skunk stripe ‘on the back of the neck and the three barrel-saddles complete the vintage look. And those Roswell AlNiCo 5 pickups are sure to get you close to those classic tones. Updates for the modern player include a Modern D neck profile, which isn’t slim, but should be comfortable in the hand without ever getting the way of playing, and a dual-action truss rod. It also ships with high-quality D‘Addario EXL110 010 - 046 gauge strings.
The TE-62CC has you covered
The Harley Benton TE-62CC should satisfy all your T-Style needs. All the way from country twang to Chicago blues, through to hard rock, the TE-62CC will have you covered. And at a price so competitive, you might think it was aimed at beginners. But don’t be fooled by the price, many advanced players and tinkerers alike have become fans of the brand, who, with a few upgrades, are able to use their Harley Benton guitars as their main instruments, or as a reliable backup. If you’re looking for a modern guitar with all the bells and whistles, you’re looking in the wrong place. The TE-62CC is strictly a barebones instrument that pays homage to the early solidbody guitars of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

A workhorse - on stage and in the home studio
T-Style instruments often get associated with country music, because of their distinctive ‘twangy’ tones. The traditional combination of bolt-on maple necks with single coil pickups provides a ‘snappy’ response that has been a hallmark of country and western music. But this style of guitar has not only been popular among Nashville players, but players of all styles from jazz to rock. The choice of tonewoods married to the Roswell AlNiCo V single coil pickups will give players a range of tones to play with, whether it’s hot smoking leads or crisp funky rhythms. Working musicians will find it to be a reliable workhorse or backup guitar, while beginners will find it a good way of dipping their toes in the electric guitar realm.
