Harley Benton CLP-15E Java Exotic 4-stars Reviews

I like this guitar

Guitar came well packaged and within the specified time(Ontario Canada) There was about $25 duties to be paid on this order.

My first impressions were of how nice the guitar looked and smelled...Mmm

Nice strings that do not have to be replaced...nice

Tuning pegs look real cool.

Not without issues though...the second fret was high and thus causing buzz if fingering within the first fret. I reached out to Tomann and they credited me to have the work done here. Very quick resolution. Nice!!

The tuning pegs look nice but can be fussy and a tad creaky, but they get the job done. Had the fret repaired and with some truss rod adjustment it plays like a dream....for a laminate guitar is sounds really good and the plus is that humidity levels (coming this winter) will be much less a concern. Big factor in my purchase decision.

The electronic are really nice for entry level Fishman's...so nice that I found a similar package online for a future acoustic mod.

If it wasn't for the fret and the "creaky" tuning pegs I would give this guitar a heck yes 5* rating.

Now that it is set up to my liking, it's a 5 imo.

Oh...did I mention how beautiful it smells? LOL

Really pleased with this purchase

Beautiful Guitar, Exotic Wood Beautiful Sound

I Bought this guitar because I saw the Youtube Demo and It Just sounded so beautiful and full yet balanced. It is the perfect size for travelling or playing on the couch and you do not have to strain to reach over it because the body is so neatly sits on Your lap. But unlike many other parlour size guitars it has a really Full, Rich and Balanced Sound, My Brother who Has a Lowden Guitar from the original factory in Ireland was impressed with the sound even though his guitar cost about 4 to 5 times the price of Mine, and with the pickup and built in tuner, I dont think You can beat this guitar for Quality? Value for Money or Feature anywhere near this price, If You are thinking about buying this Guitar, My Advice is Do It, You will not regret it and You will have a great little players/writers Guitar for Life and I Hope that you will love it as much as I Do.
