Custom Line CLA-15MCE : Amazing Value

I purchased this guitar after doing some set-up work on a few Harley Benton guitars. I work part-time as a guitar tech and am luthier trained. Firstly, you can not build a guitar of this quality and materials at this cost if you were to do it yourself. Although this is not true mahogany, it is mahogany-like in feel and tone (it looks to be stained Okoume?) After tuning this guitar up I took a full assessment of its set-up. This guitar was perfect right out of the box. I was very impressed by the set-up and quality control on this particular instrument. The guitar plays very well and was excellent in fit and finish. The fretwork was smooth with no signs of tooling (this is rare on guitars at this price point). I work on many guitars and I am impressed with this brand.
