Harley Benton Stratocaster 62

[chip]

I got a HB telecaster for $60. I just had to play a bit with the bridge to get proper intonation and go. It sounds awesome.

Now I think about it, half of my instruments are HB. The best way to "pick and try". I have an electric 8-strings mandoline, an acoustic 5-string fretless bass, an apalacchian dulcimer, the telecaster, a short-scale 4 strings fretted bass, a parlament-type acoustic (for $45!! - now it's more expensive) - all by HB. And I'm a happy man.

It just goes to show. You don't need to spend a fortune to get a reasonable instrument.
