Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN Grait price high quality

I have been looking for a guitar to fit my playing style for over a year. I am happy to say I finally found this Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN' it sounds and plays as good as guitars that cost 1000$ super happy. 😊

It's been perfect for me!

As a worship leader at my local church I would probably not blow your mind with my playing although it does stand at around 6 years now and I feel I get better with each hour of practice, so much so I have now bought some more HB's to branch out into electric support roles too.

I can't claim to know how the more expensive prosumer stablemates that this looks just like compare either.

What I will say is that I have played several other acoustic guitars of this price range and have not met quality such as this, it arrived set up just as I would like with no flaws that I have seen and it has seen many hours of strumming and finger picking without complaint, the tuners seem to do a cracking job and in honesty it's a beautiful looking guitar.

I can highly recommend it which is why after two years of owning I thought I would put a shout out. If you get one then I hope you enjoy it too!

Quality and sound blew my expectations away!!!!

I was not expecting much due to the price tag, however the moment I unboxed this I was shocked to see how gorgeous this guitar is and all the attention to details in the finishing and hardware and inlays. And then I played the first few chords only to continue to be mesmerized on how great it sounds. Before some of you start complaining about the sound, no this is not a Taylor or a Martin... however I have played plenty of those guitars and this one will cut through in a gig as it projects really well while maintaining clarity of the notes and well balanced. I would say it falls more in the mid range tones, bass is present and you can feel it but again don't expect to compare it to a Taylor or a Martin. Should you compare it to a Fender/Epiphone/Dean the like this one has them beat by miles. Extremely happy I took a chance buying this guitar. Highly recommend it for the value.

I choose this guitar as I wanted nicely built pretty guitar, and this is what I wanted. The sound could be better though.

Unreal purchase!

I received this today (1 day earlier than expected) and honestly for the price you pay the value you gain from it is unreal.

The build quality is incredible and the sound of this guitar is simply beautiful and warm.

I went from a Fender FA-125 to this and I'm completely blown away by the sheer quality and volume of the craftsmanship.

If you have been sitting on the fence about this Guitar and have been looking for an upgrade especially from a beginner guitar then don't hesitate!

Lovely guitar

I like this guitar. The first thing that I noticed when I unboxed it was how playable the instrument was - low action which I did not expect possible, a nice neck that fits my hand, smooth frets. I did not have to do anything with the guitar, its setup was perfect.

The guitar is very beatiful, it rests on a stand so that I can pick it up and play whenever I can. It is made very well, I came across just one little blemish on its lacquer.

UPDATE: Regarding its sound, I would like to update my previous comment in which basses seemed to me a bit dull. After I changed strings it improved so much that this comment is no longer valid and I give the sound 5 stars.

I appreciate the pickup system as I like to record and practice with a looper.

All in all, the guitar prompts me to pick it up and play often. And it speaks for itself.

This guitar came in with no visible flaws and is simply Gorgeous!

Set up was a tad higher than my liking, but pretty good. No fret spouts.

I was quite surprised at the sound of this guitar, full and round.

The only issue I have is the dimensions are not given on their web site.

The depth of the body is about 4 inches, I found that small considering it's classified as a Jumbo. That said it does provide adequate Bass.

If you have been looking at this guitar, BUY it you wont be disappointed!

My 1st Harley Benton and not my last

the guitar shipped from Germany to the USA in 8 days without any issues. This guitar is beautiful. The walnut looks amazing and the solid top is outstanding. I found no flaws on it at all and after an adjustment to the saddle this guitar plays as well as my $2000 taylor. I can literally find no flaws with thise guitar and for the price ... unbelievable. The tone is just beautiful, full bass, sweet mids and tight highs. This is the kind of guitar you would expect to pay much much more for. I will not hesitate to buy another and I will as soon as I save up some more spare cash. If you are holding off on buying one if these fir any reason, stop now and just buy it. Just an incredible value and and tremendous quality instrument, and not just as a beginner/ starter guitar but one you could gig with. Just a great instrument.

Such quality!

This is one of three Harley Benton guitars I now own. None of them disappoint! When I started looking to buy some more guitars to be used for alternate tunings, Harley Benton fit the bill perfectly! The only 'one' thing that I feel is bad on Harley Benton guitars is the onboard tuners. I'll be using aftermarket clip on tuners. Aside from that, when you buy a Harley Benton guitar, you get far more guitar than what you pay for.

Exceptional value for money

This was ordered as a present as a starter instrument for a nephew of ours. He's 6ft 2in so needed a jumbo. It's been my experience that you need to spend a lot of money to get a decent sound from a jumbo body. Not so here. I'm seriously impressed with the sound quality straight out of the box. Sure it needs a small set-up to get the action down a little but other than that it's truly remarkable. I would gig this guitar quite happily!!

Beautiful guitar!

Excellent guitar! Arrived in perfect shape.

Great Guitar!

Bought this for my wife to gig with at open mics and with a Beatles cover band she just got into. She loves it! It sounds awesome both plugged and unplugged, and is extremely well made....looks great. She gets a lot of complements on it. The built in tuner is helpful, as she is always forgetting her clip on tuner. Could have spent 3x as much and not gotten anything this nice. I own 16 HB line guitars and basses, love them all....just bought 4 more. Don't know how they can deliver such value for so little. Buy it!

Harley benton clj 503 ce

i bought this guitar because of the price and features

also the reviews online were good

let me just say

Harley benton out of the box i tuned it up plugged it in

perfect... sounds fantastic acoustic or plugged in

This is a very nice guitar nothing needs to be done and that says it all

by the way comparing the two guitars the construction and woods used look as if the same factory made both guitars

conclusion im with other people here

buy this if you need one it is very good

by the way i would not call this a jumbo like the king model its not big or deep enough its more the size of a yamaha fg800 in body size but a very nice guitar very comfortable i highly recommend this to everyone its a beautiful guitar to look at too

so thats another bonus

Lovely guitar. Good looking.

After reading feedback on this guitar, i ordered it in a bundle with gig bag and picks.. Out of the box guitar was a little bit high on strings for my liking, which is normal. I prefer low action. So i sanded down the bridge 1,3mm. Bridge was bone. No plastic.. Excellent.. After tune-up the guitar was perfect. No fret buzz, and strings height is fine. Also plugged in sounded good. Guess it will be even better after it has settled down for some weeks.. The finish is perfect. Everything is well put together.. Neck is very good out of the box, and no need for adjustment. The tuners are smooth and guitar seems to stay in tune. I like the sound of it. A lot warmer than maple guitars, which i think is too bright. But still crisp sound. Well balanced sound. The combination of walnut and spruce body seems like a good match.. Also the color of the guitar is beautiful.. It looks like a 1000$ guitar..

Absolute perfection! quickly becoming my go to guitar!

Wow, just wow!!

I must say i am very impressed with this guitar. It came in excellent conditions. Fresh strings, no blemishes. It looks like a thousand dollar guitar. Every detail put on it is special. I use it for live/small gigs. Very satisfied with it.

Over the moon!!

What a great looking and sounding guitar. The neck feels great. I can't put it down.

It came with a great set up and I didn't have to adjust anything.
