Delta Blues O : Well Happy

I bought this as a living room guitar. You know, the one that lives behind the sofa, within easy reach when you have a spare 5 mins. The one where the kids get hold of it and bash it about and have sing songs without the worry of breaking it. In all honesty though it's a much better guitar than that.

This is a proper musical instrument and not a toy. It's a decent all rounder, sounds nice strummed, although it's definitely not in the same league as a jumbo. For me it is suited brilliantly to fingerpicking or a delicate strum/fingerpick mix. Have recorded it and it sounds good.

Feels good too, the neck is fantastic, smallish, more akin to an electric, and the finish feels nice under hand. Perfectly playable straight out of the box, good action ect.

Tuning stability is good, like I said the guitar lives behind a sofa, stood up against a wall, and can stay there for days/a week at a time. Stays in tune! I can play it, bend and bash the strings and generally wring its neck, stays in tune!

To sum up: When I started playing 30-odd years ago you would've had to pay 3-4 times the price for a guitar of similar quality. I honestly thought all this "Harley Benton guitars are great" internet talk was fanboys shouting...seems I was wrong!
