I bought this pick guard to replace the mint green that came with my Fender Classic 60's Telecaster (MIM).
It was a direct fit: the holes aligned ok (one or the a little bit off, but nothing to worry about) and matched the control plate and the bridge (actually, it was better than the stock one it that aspect).
The only downside to it, was the hole for the neck pickup: it's a little bit too wide, and therefore there are some gaps between the pick guard and the pickup. Nothing serious, but I'd like it to be more snug.
Anyway, for a 10€ pickguard, that does NOT have screw holes in the neck position (that was the big factor for me), I am pretty pleased with this. You can't go wrong, I honestly can't tell the difference between that and a Fender-made one.

Doesn't fit my HB tele
If you're looking to swap out a pickguard on your HB tele, you might be in on a twisted surprise: it may not fit. In my case, the shape was a bit different and the holes for the screws did not align with the ones I already have in my HB body. Sorry HB, but that's a miss.....

good quality
Good quality pick guard. I used this on a homemade tele so the fit wasn't perfect (but that is not the fault of Harley Benton, it is because the tele was not professionally made). It was very easy to adjust anyway - a file did the job very easily to make the neck socket wider. If anyone has project guitars or just need to replace a scratched up pickguard I recommend they use this product.

Not the same as stock HB pickguard
Oddly enough the shape is slightly different than the T-style pickguard my HB came with. Nothing huge, but the cut for the bridge and the neck, as well as controls plate are slightly different.

Tele pickguard that fits
The dimensions were absolutely correct, just a little help from file. Why buy more expensive ones when you get the same thing for accurate price. There's no voodoo in overpriced parts that don't affect the sound at all.

Doesn't fit Harley Benton TE guitars!!!
It seems very odd that Harley Benton would produce this but it not fit their own TE guitars! (1) it's the wrong shape for HB TE guitars, and (2) it doesn't even have screw holes for the neck pickup! Very odd and a (thankfully small) waste of money. I was hoping to replace the aged-look pickguard on my new HB TE, but, I guess not!!

Does not fit Harley Benton TE-30
Does not fit Harley Benton TE-30. Not just a matter of the screw-holes not matching up - it's too short and partially sits atop the switch plate. If you have a TE-30, look elsewhere.
