D-120CE VS : It's a guitar

And it's not a bad one despite the price!

I've played electric for one year, so it was about time I wanted to try acoustic. I've decided to go with a working strategy, and that means buying the cheapest and the most beautiful Harley Benton and see how it works.

So, for the good:

- finish is flawless! You can tell it's not a million dollar guitar, but it's made really, really well

- neck is straight and the guitar has a truss rod

- nut is okay

- bridge is okay as well

- it has no anomalies (like fret buzz) while playing whatsoever

- intonation is almost perfect, and for the price - what else you can ask for?

- preamp... works!

- it has strap buttons, which is good, for I'm learning to play while standing

And for the bad:

- fretboard is not made well, the wood required some sanding paper on it. It's my 3rd HB and 5th guitar overall, and this is the first time I see such a fretboard

- of course, fret ends are sharp. I didn't even expect them being not sharp, so - sanding paper!

- string action is higher than it is on electric guitars (3mm over 12th fret), so I'll have to get used to it

Overall:

It's not the prefect guitar, I might even go for a more expensive acoustic over time, but this time won't be short. As a first acoustic, it satisfies all my needs and will satisfy yours as well. It has flaws, but look at the price and make your peace with it.
