Love this guitar

High quality. Great sound both acoustic and plugged in. Beautiful bargain of a resonator guitar

Much better looking and sounding than expected.

I’ve been playing for 50 years. Mostly couch, a few open mics. Not great, but enthusiastic. This is my third resonator. Even bought a Mule for $4k US. Waited eight months for delivery. Sounded great, but sold after a year. Neck was too big for me. Never felt comfortable. Got the HB today. Over the moon happy. Neck is perfect, action very low. Tuned to Open G and played a bunch of stuff - a little bit of slide, Honky Tonk Women and fingerpicking Romeo and Juliet. Very, very pleased. As others have noted, not as loud as big bodied resonators, but that’s fine for my couch playing. Sounds terrific thru my Blues Jr. Exactly what I wanted. Great value. My first purchase here. It won’t be my last.

Work of art

I thought long and hard about buying this guitar. I was after an affordable resonator that will set me up for gigging and writing. I play a lot of blues and slide, so it suited me down to the ground. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and it sounds great.

The craftmanship and quality of materials not only compete with much more expensive guitars, but for me blows a lot of your standard signature guitars out of the water. A lot of guitars you buy and they're just guitars, but this one has a soul to it, and was made with care and attention.

I've played a couple Harley Benton's before, and they're making your big company guitars look like cheap rip off's with a fancy logo slapped on them. If you're looking for a guitar that has character, style and a ton of sound behind it, you can't go wrong with this one.

I couldn't be happier with my guitar. Out of the box it's perfect if you're just using it as a regular guitar, although I'd put a heavier set of nickel strings on, and raise the action for slide to get a nice authentic sound.

10/10 absolutely amazing guitar.

Beautiful Resonator

This is a wonderful instrument with a wide range of tonal sounds. Unplugged, it is a little bit tinny, but plug it in and it comes alive. The neck is really comfortable and came set up perfectly.

My 1st Reso

Never even played a resonator before. But as usual HB has come through nicely again. I've looked at the Gretsch and Nationals and several others before. But at this price point and quality again HB has knocked it out of the park. That's why I keep coming back.

Pure golden passion

I am absolutely thrilled by this instrument. It helped me to find new passion for music after years of playing. This reso is on YT compared to resos with price around $2000 and it does pretty well. It is most definitely one of the best instruments I held in my life.
