I bought this guitar about two weeks ago after reading about them in other forums, the quality & affordability are superb, I decided on a thin line as I've never had one before & because Teles are just Cool . I don't usually buy online but Thomann made it smooth & effortless, Great experience & very Fast delivery. The only thing I had to do was polish the frets with wire wool, they were a bit tarnished & 30 minutes polishing them was all it took to get a smooth mirror finish on them. The Wilkinson P90's are delightful & have great tones in them I love them, one of the nicest surprises was how nice it sounded unplugged, just beautiful.

It's hard to hide from google. I think the tone and lots of reverb works well with your playing there.

Yeah There's no hiding place anymore , reverb & greenie go together well for a bit of Fleetwood Mac. I did get the Prinz model last week too, I'll do a write up on that tomorrow, It's been a long day & a glass of Scotch has got my name on it. :DI've got my eye on another Harley Benton model in the not too distant future as well.

Nice looking model, that one. The P90s sound great in your video.
On Thomann's website the TE-90QM looks mahogany red, like an SG. Yours looks much lighter, almost Candy Apple Red? Or is that just over-exposure in your pictures?
[Hides credit card. I must NOT order another HB whilst waiting for one to be delivered...]

Yeah I know the feeling but I thought I'll fill me boots as they say with a couple of HB guitars whilst the goings good against the €uro. that was my excuse anyway which got the look from over the top of her glasses that only a women can give :DIt's the first time in my life that I've had the chance to splurge out & very glad I did too because these two guitars are superb, I love them to bits.

Nice guitar indeed! Before I decided on buying my L-450Plus I was SO CLOSE to buying the trans blue tele, same like yours just different pickups (Humbuckers). I liked the look of it and all but the blue color was just too blue for my taste otherwise Im sure it would sound awesome. There is a member on Facebook Harley beton group who swears by his trans red P90 Tele like yours, that guitar pluged into a Fender amp! Welcome aboard and dont be shy posting some more videos please We love videos and photos!

Thanks for the welcome & kind words che I cant say enough good things about the red thin line, I wont even say " great for the price" because they're superb regardless of price. It's beautifully balanced & not ass lightweight as it looks, very nice guitar to play. I looked at the blue one myself but I'd just sold a blue one to buy this HB one so I wanted a change. Yeah I do a few vids & I'll be putting some up in the near future.

Seems you're also one of very few people on the planet who snagged the new-style TE-80 with the limited edition pickguard. Thomann pulled that one from their website after only a few days! That one was a steal, well done sir.

That one was a steal, well done sir. Yeah boy have my ears been burning ever since buying it , other forum guys have been on my case a lot because 10 minutes after I ordered it, it was gone from the online listings. I wanted to give it a review like my red thin line on Thomanns site & get another €10 voucher lol I really like it & will put up a review & pics tomorrow.

That one was a steal, well done sir. And if I remember correctly it was darn cheap too So far Im a proud owner of only a crap HB stratocaster ST-20 (which is being upgraded and reliced at the moment and will become a beast) and a Les Paul copy HB L-450Plus which is SUPERB! Im yet to decide on what Tele to get. Thinking of buying the Harley benton Tele DIY Kit and "pimp my ride" to my specs!
