Custom Line CLR-Chrome : Harley Benton CLR-Chrome

This Resonator instrument is attractive with it's slot headstock and faux Grover heads. It is good value but it arrived with a nut that was far too high and terrible strings.
The neck was slightly bowed. That was corrected quickly with an allen key.
The nut itself need to be cut down in height and the nut slots properly re-cut to prevent damping vibration and strings 'binding' in the slots.
With new strings and the nut 'fettled' it plays quite well.
However it is not very loud and we suspect that it would benefit from a better cone.
Taking into consideration the price of the guitar these are minor quibbles.
Recommended at the price, provided that you have someone to 'set it up' properly.
