Delta Blues MJCE : Dont know how they make an elrctro acoustic for this money

2 years ago

I just received my Delta Blues - being the proud owner of now 11 acoustics ranging from two top end Avalons priced circa £4,000 - £5,000, I have to say this wee budget Harley Benton definitely hits the spot for a practice & small gig guitar. I appreciate it is ultra light weight & not the best tonal woods & when i come to change the cheap bronze factory fitted strings to Elixir Coated Phosphor Bronze 11's (which i use on all my acoustics apart from 10's on my two 12 strings, i will shave the saddle a touch to bring the string height down from 2.2ml on the Base E at 12th Fret down to 1.9m or so. I checked all the fretting which is A1, so there should be no fret buzz on that height. I am really impressed on the volume & sustain particuarly on the base strings . The onboard tuner is really accurate & pick up not just Fishman but ok. When i think back to when i bought one of my first acoustic guitars 46 years ago an Antoria Folk Guitar with no tuner or pick up at £120 back then, the Harley Benton Delta Blues MJCE at £110 you cant go wrong
