Really good sounding and looking guitar!

I bought this guitar because I wanted the “J-45” sound and look, I was a little sceptic in the beginning, due to the extremely low price but I can only say one thing; BUY IT.

You wont regret it. Love it already. Harley Benton all the way! I wish it came in a neutral color too!

Absolutely stunning

I needed a new Acoustic/Electric real bad. I didn't want a cut away. I decided to get this one and it was the right decision. Plays great, sounds great. Worth checking out for sure.

Lovely Guitar with great sound

Can't beat this guitar for the money. As good as my Guild.

Can’t believe the price for this quality!

Didn’t know what to expect for under £200 but when the guitar arrived I couldn’t believe my eyes no adjustments needed but a string stretch and a tune up. The guitar has a rich tone with a crisp top end. It’s my 5th Harley Benton and I love it.

Cant' praise enough

Harley Benton Acoustics are amazing - this is no exception. Very nice sounds, and the action can get insanely low without fret buzz, neck feels perfect, fretboard is smooth and doesnt "stick".

So playability and sound, the two most important things are there.

I don't like the sunburts - reminds me of cheap Squier guitars, but I paid half of what the Epiphone costs and got a much more playable guitar, so no complains :)

Amazing guitar, especially for its price! I plays and feels nice. The sound quality is very good and pleasant, pretty impressive! Maybe if Harley Benton could get the strings a little lower on the saddle side, it would be even better. But I'm pleased

Harley Benton Custom Line CLJ-45E VS Steel-String Guitar

I have already bought several guitars plus other equipment & have very satisfied with every purchase. The price, quality, finish, sound, playability & electronics are knock outs! I play in a classic country/classic rock band & this guitar will be seeing a lot of stage time. Can't think of any negatives about this guitar. Proud to own it.

Harley Benton custom line CLJ-45E VS

nice thin neck very playable

However there are tuning issues with this guitar

fishman eq/pickup sounds perfect no dead spots very even across the board when plugged in

Update after around 2 months of playing

two of the tuners have become very weak and but will be replaced .anyway .i would however choose the clj 503ce or the custom king over this,,, if looking for a H/B guitar this one is very flimsy overall it feels like it wont last long compared to the others not worth the money
