Harley Benton CLA-15CE Koa Exotic 4-stars Reviews

Amazing tone

Solid Koa top with mahogany back & sides produces a very warm tone and sustain although lacks the overall volume you would get from a solid Spruce top. I am glad I found this guitar for its beautiful tone! It is unmatched for double or triple this price.

Love this guitar!

Slightly darker in real life than the photos, but for me, this just makes it look even better. It sounds warm and is lovely to play straight from the box and the intonation is perfect.

The built in tuner works fine and in my humble opinion, the overall quality is equal to an equivalent spec (more expensive) Tanglewood.

There are no shoddy quality issues such as sharp fret ends, but I have deducted a star for the machine heads. They are clunky, not very responsive and as a result, feel really cheap and nasty.

My guitar has benefited greatly by having a set of inexpensive black Vanson's fitted (they are only £20 from Amazon, are 100% better and totally do the job).

Don't let this put you off buying one though...
