D-200CE-12NT : Harley Benton D-200CE-12NT

I ordered this one on behalf of a friend who plays the drums and didn't want anything over a 200€ budget and trusted my 30 years experience on playing guitar and 20 on trading. Well...i am speechless. That's a GREAT GUITAR without considering the cost that was 150€ inc. a quality gigbag and shipping costs. Where to begin...packing was excellent, they even covered the strings that were BRAND NEW. Sound is a killer on this one, huge and mellow while you can plug it in an amp since it;s electroacoustic. What amazed the most is that the guitar came being setup and the action is low without fretbuzz, nothing and the other thing is that it stays in tune after 1st round of tuning and playing for an hour!! I had my hands on way more overpricced 12strings that came with the strings as high as my chin and couldn't stay tuned for more than 5 minutes of play. It plays effortlesely, finish is lovely,the gigbag is great...they even had a battery placed and wrapped so to not consume power!!!!! And all these for 150€...If you are out for a 12string don't think about it, that's a great sounding guitar and i owned a Martin D28, Gibson Hummingbird (still own this own) and played with many high-end Taylors Oh..neck is pretty thick on the first frets (as most of 12strings) while it flattens and opens while going down, i'd say it's more like a "U" profile, to me is very comfortable. if you are out for a 12string here's a choice beyond imagination for the budget. Well done Harley Benton, didn't see that coming.
