Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-28VE WN

Really impressed!

I ordered this guitar to save taking my expensive Furch guitars out and about. The guitar arrived today and I am really impressed with it. First of all it was set up perfectly and it sounds really good. The frets are all level and there are no sharp ends. The nut is cut well and the string height there is perfect. The bone saddle is nicely seated. I did lower it a bit although the action was perfectly playable. The neck is straight and came perfectly set. This guitar sounds and looks nice. The top wood looks good with no knots etc. the back sides look beautiful. The only thing I will change are the bridge pins from the plastic ones that go too deep into the body. Even that doesn’t need doing really.

Played straight out of the box, took half an hour for the strings to settle.absolutely amazing guitar for the price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, another great guitar from Harley Benton

Excellent guitar

Posle svih gledanja i slusanja o ovoj gitari, odlucio se da kupim i apsolutno sam zadovoljan. Sve je kao sto je opisano. Ni jednu, jedinu zamerku nemam. Profesionalno odradjeno.

Happy as a baby

It is a copy of Martin Eric Clapton model but with Fishman electronics. It is very well built, good sound, good feeling, good frets and fret edges and rolled fingerboard, it is no Martin, but by god, it is worth much more then it costs. Good tuners, good nut, good tuning stability, the only thing that was missing was front strap button, but I fixed it in 30 seconds. With Sandberg oil, the fingerboard becomes so dark, it looks like ebony like on the Martin EC model.

One of the best ever OM's

I've owned countless acoustic guitars. I'm a pro NAMM member. This is easily one of the best OM's I've ever played. Period!

It is abysmal

The sound is pretty dead and the neck cannot be fixed because the truss rod was not installed properly.

Not very satisfyed.

Bargain

Sounds amazing, looks amazing and play amazing. 100%

Bottom Line: This is simply an amazing guitar for the price.

This guitar is a very good facsimile of the Martin Eric Clapton Signature model. I already had several dreadnaught guitars and wanted to add a 000-size instrument to my collection. No way I was going to spend between 3 and 4 grand for a Martin. My brother had recently ordered a Harley Benton Custom Line acoustic, and I couldn't believe the quality of the instrument for the price. So, I took a chance and ordered this guitar. For a guitar priced at a fraction of the well-known brands, it is simply amazing. The quality of the materials and the workmanship is superb. The playability is excellent. Does it sound like a Martin? No, but it sounds as good as many guitars costing hundreds, or even thousands more. I really don't know how they do it.

Great guitar!

A beatiful instrument with great sound.

I own another guitar that cost 10 times as much, and got this as a "grab and go" guitar that I could bring anywhere without worrying to much about it. I find myself grabbing it all the time, also at home, as it is a joy to play and sounds wonderful. I look forward to hearing it in a few years when the wood has had time to "open up"

Will definately try other Harley bentons

Riktigt bra ljud för pengarna

Gitarren sjunger fint och låter som en typ 8000 kronors gitarr.

Strängarna var dock smutsiga, blev svart om fingrarna. Och banden var inte helt släta. Stämmaren funkar bra men har inte någon automatavstängning, så det har bytts batteri ett par gånger. Men byte av strängar och lite putsning på banden så får man en riktig fin gitarr för den pengen.
