Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-15M

Well priced, surprising and pleasant

I have been playing for around 10 years on a budget - therefore I'm always very selective about the instruments I buy as I want them to have the maximum quality/cost ratio.

This guitar does much more than satisfy. It's a solid body and it resonates as well as my friend's 500€ Martin guitar.

The action isn't too high, although the strings could be a little easier to depress but I'll see how that evolves with a new set. There was the slightest bit of a buzz when I first played it but that also disappeared.

I couldn't be happier!!!

Happy days

The sound quality for the money is outstanding.I did have to adjust the trust rod and file the saddle, but I like my action lower. This is not a Martin but it is an outstanding guitar .The warmth and depth far exceeds it price .

Good for the price

Couple of cosmetic marks on the freatboard. Sound is bright and weak around middle frequencies. Of course it depends on a taste.

My "Go to Guitar".

I love it! It is kept close by and I play it all the time. Thank you! A++

about the guitar ..

i don't know what people writing here , its sounds cheap and feels like plastic , nothing similar to Martin , only the color. 2020 . You get for what you pay !

Best value for the money.

Very playable, unbeliveable at this prize.

Enjoy!

shame about the finish

a few marks on body, which whilst disappointing, they may have polished out with time? But reason for return was the piece of body top adjacent to upper bout that had probably been damaged during manufacture.

Shame as it sounds great!!

Great cost benefit

Flawless, fast delivery. Great instrument and cost benefit.

Nice looking, nice playing guitar. Poor finishing

This guitar has

good fretwork

looks great

tunes

plays well

There is however a very visible gap where the neck joins the body. There shouldn't be.

I can't be bothered returning it. I seem to go through spates with HB guitars where they're all flawless and then spates where they have problems.

Disappointing

Amazing value, and a really good guitar in general!

I've been playing guitar for about 13 years, I own way more expensive guitars (>2500€ each) and I think this guitar does a lot of things really good. The fret ends are smooth enough, but I wouldnt say they are perfect, and the finish has sometimes 1mm spots but those are the only "issues", for which I would not remove any stars.

It sounds really rich, and clear just like the audio samples and it is one of the guitars that gets regular use so that should say a lot. I'd say you cant go wrong with this, especially if this is your price range you'd be happy. I am!
