Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE 5-stars Reviews

Incredible value for money

Bought this as it was the most affordable electro acoustic on the market.

Straight out the box its perfect..nothing to complain about.

Very light and beautifully made.

Now I have my sights set on a HB ST-62

Nice! Great!

I must say this is a great nice little guitar,

I am not a professional but also not anymore a beginner,

This guitar meets my expectations of a good sound and action and at an affordable price.

It is beautiful and sounds very nice.

Shipping was all perfect and safe package.

I want already to buy another HB guitar damn it!!!

Cheers

Great Guitar foe whatever price

It is a great guitar. I bought it as a backup for my Martin, Taylor, and Breedlove guitars.

Expensive guitars may sound mediocre, and cheap guitars may sound like heaven. So forget about it and talk about the guitar itself.

The guitar played well out of the box with a little fret buzz. After adjusting the action, it became a perfect guitar. My impression is that it looks like a Martin cutaway acoustic electric but sounds like a Taylor.

Pros: good tone; beautiful color; easy to play

Cons: fret buzz de to the very low action; it is very easy to fix.

Whoever made this guitar in a factory in China, you may not read this review, but I salute you.

Huge bang for your buck

This is one of those I don't normally leave reviews review. By that I mean this guitar is so much bang for your buck that I just had to leave a review to let people know the guitar can compete with many others at a much higher price. For ages I have been looking for a GA size electro and tried pretty well everything in the price range up to a £1000. Other than the Faith Venus (the neck profile and body shape didn't suit me) I could not find a guitar the anywhere near seemed to justify the asking price. I took a chance on this HB based on the reviews thinking I had little to lose and at least could use it as a knockabout guitar. How wrong I was, the build quality is frankly amazing and just as good as many of the much more expensive guitars I tried, and the sound quality is as good as anything I tried up to £1000. Full and well balanced, very articulate and complex sounding, frankly I cannot believe how good this guitar is regardless of price. You won't be disappointed.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

I have been playing guitar for almost 30 years ..A lot of that time as professional in many bands.Having had a few Harley Benton models before I decided on the ClA-15MCE based mainly on past experience and the many reviews.It arrived yesterday and I gigged with it last night.This is rare for me but the quality of tone and finish was excellent.It has a lovely round dark tone which I adore and the added bonus of the Fishman pickup...Yes, A very pleasant surprise

NIcely crafted mahogany auditorium guitar

Great value guitar from HB which caught my eye with many positive reviews. The action is set-up a little high for my liking but easily adjustable with the alan key provided to adjust the truss rod. The guitar has a matt finish and is very good with a real attention to detail but it is smoother that I"d prefer, I like a natural finish on my instruments that's just personal preference. The guitar comes with D'Addario EXP-16 .012 - .053 which give the guitar a lovely tone and warm sound. overall I'm very happy with the guitar and extremely impressed how much guitar I got for ¤199. I will be purchasing more HB affordable beauties in the future.

Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE

Like most budding guitarists, Martins are our of my league.

Having read the reviews, I hoped this little guitar would get close to the real thing.

They were right. It hits all the right chords, is great value for money and sounds and feels fantastic.

I cannot rate this guitar highly enough. Don't be put off by the price, its a gem.

I have a Harley Benton TE 80NT Deluxe on order, I cant wait to see what they have done to emulate the Tele sound.

What a fantastic guitar

This is an amazing guitar for this money. The build quality and specs are very good on my instrument and it arrived well set up. I own several far more expensive acoustic guitars and this performs and plays as well as my Martin and my top range Yamaha.

How do they manage to produce a solid wood acoustic with a decent pick-up system and built in tuner for this money.

It arrived in perfect condition, well packaged and within 2 weeks which may seem a long time for some countries but for Lanzarote is fantastic.

I am using it all the time at the moment and have already ordered an electric guitar by HB and will certainly be purchasing another acoustic model from this company very soon. Fantastic

Impressed!

I bought this guitar online. I needed an extra guitar real soon because my new guitar is being hand build and not finished yet. I saw this product and read some good reviews.

I liked the model and the complete Mahogany build. Solid top! I will use it on stage so with the Fishman electronics it's great.

Guitar arrived within one day! And to my surprise it was extremely well build for a guitar of ¤ 199! Even with bone nut. It plays really light and I like the deep warm woody sound. I would normally never buy a guitar online without playing on it, but this was a really good buy!

I would recommend it highly.

A purchase well worth!

I bought this guitar and after giving it a run, I'm surprisingly pleased with it. It's fun to play and for the money, it's well built and thought through. Just don't play it straight out of the box, invest in a new set of strings to do it justice.

It's a good looking guitar that looks more expensive than what it actually is. I enjoy the matte finish and its subtle details a lot. Build quality is good, however the front of the neck feels somewhat plastic. The body is light in weight and quite small, and the neck is slim and easy to play. It plays nicely over the frets.

Sound is warm and has a good tone. Sustain and vibrato gives the guitar a unique sound and makes it, in my opinion, ideal for picking style playing.

All in all, it's a sweet guitar with a special sound that's fun to play. Usually I play a four times more expensive dreadnought guitar, but even so I find it an investment well worth.
