Custom Line CLP-15ME LH : Harley Benton's best product?

7 years ago

Now this guitar impressed me. The wood, the construction, extra little bits like several quality-control tags and an extra pin, tools. The looks, the originality(!) of the nylon string Spanish-guitar-style headstock/tuning pegs arrangement. The preamp, the piezo pickup work well.

The SIZE and the shape! So comfortable and portable. I'd have preferred a richer, more open sound typical of a solid spruce top but then it wouldn't have looked as delicious as the chocolate tones of this little beast. (This is a mahogany guitar with a darker lower midrange focus.) I guess the older I get, my stomach takes the lead from my ears as my overriding organ which has more say insofar far as dictating my tastes and priorities go nowadays. Well yes, eating delicious food is an easier and more agreable thing to do than playing music. Polluting the airwaves with bum notes is more of sacred duty than a priceless service rendered to the universe--or to one's gut.

Love it. The guitar I mean.
