CLD-15MCE SolidWood : Great sound and great value!

Had this guitar for a few months now and for the money, it's the best acoustic I've come across. Although, bear in mind, I've not tried all of HB's guitars just yet! Been eyeing up their j200 copy next!

-Sounds lovely. Very warm, as you would expect from a mahogany-built guitar, so those after something a bit brighter and crisper might want to look at something else. Nice and boomy where needed through all the ranges as you might expect from a dreadnought.

-Contruction's brilliant. Great quality wood, nice fretwork. Action's a touch high for me, especially when coming from my Sire S7 which has a super low action but can obviously be adjusted to taste. Nice tuners and the wood's beautiful in different light, lovely grain.

-Overall I gave it 5/5 due to the fantastic value all round. There are obviously better guitars out there but you'd be looking at paying 10x the price or more to get a really noticeable difference in sound quality. My dream guitar, the Gibson j200 is eye wateringly expensive at over 5k!!

Great for beginners to start on as you'd be buying something that's great quality at not too expensive a price and will last a while. You can grow into it without that initial outlay some might think they need to get started when learning guitar.
