CG-45E Natural : Not a toy

A previous reviewer described this this guitar as a toy. My experience tells me they could not be more mistaken. And, contrary to some views, my experience of Harley Benton is that the construction quality is consistently good throughout their price range. This excellent guitar has a balanced sound, nicely bright but with a bass in proportion to the overall tone. The construction is faultless, with a comfortable, dark, white bound fingerboard, no sharp frets, and a slightly larger lower bout, hence the bass. The satin finish beautifully complements the lights in the mahogany (veneer) top, back and sides, and attractive, slightly open-pore finish. But the biggest plus is the fact that it has become a go-to guitar, it's feeling of lightness making it a pleasure to play, above those five times more expensive. At the price, it has to be one of the best guitar buys anywhere. A truly surprisingly beautiful guitar. It rings! Go for it, in my view you can't go wrong.
