Harley Benton Custom Line Superior-E VS Reviews

Best acoustic guitar in the world

This guitar is tearing up all the competitors. Looks very expensive. The quality is better than the most expensive epiphone.The neck is straight, strings, low frets are not sharp, clashing is not.The best that you can buy for the money. 10 out of 10 points, I recommend!!

Best bang for your buck

This is by far the best "bang for your buck" acoustic you can get. Sounds great, although not as loud as most dreadnot guitars (Acoustically). The electronics are the same as the mid level fender acoustics (I also own one.) The only thing that i was unhappy with was I received mine with a broken tuner. I did not issue a complaint, as I was ultimately planning on upgrading the tuners anyway.

This is a very good instrument.

The sound is much lighter and more bouncy than my solid wood acoustics. Very well balanced. The guitar was set up excellently right out of the box (the low E was not in the nut, not sure how that happened. Put it back and everything was fine.)

Changed the strings to medium (13-56), sounds terrific.

Pros: This is a first line instrument. Thin neck, very playable, well setup, good tuning heads. Very light weight. Tuner works acceptably, electronics are just ok, knocked off a star for this.

No "finish flaws" that I could see, although the pick guard color is slightly off. More on that below.

Fits perfectly in suggested case. Was able to perform at an open mic with it the day it was received.

Cons:

The pickguard color does not match the color tones of the overall guitar finish. It is close, but it does not look like it goes with the guitar.

Several of the tuning machines anchor screws were stripped, and really not holding the tuning machines in. One tuning head was completely loose, only held in by the tension of the string. I corrected this by putting sawdust and Elmers glue in the screw holes, and reseating them. 100% good now.

This is a terrific value as a balanced tone, work horse acoustic guitar. The playability and attractiveness can't be beat, and it matches well with $800-$1000 acoustics at Guitar Center.

5 star guitar

This is my second Harley Benton acoustic. Looks like the far more expensive version. Everyone who has seen and heard it says, "Wow! Nice guitar!" They're even more surprised by the price, some with their own buyer remorse for spending thousands on their own big name brand.

I have it hanging on the wall in the lounge room. It's a practical work of art that gets used nearly everyday by several family members.

Highly recommend the HB guitars!

Great acoustic guitar for it's price!

Bought this guitar because it looks like one of my favorite acoustic guitar. But I was pleasantly surprised how well it sounded after a couple of days with a change of strings. It records really well and plays well too.

I'm glad I took a chance on this lovely guitar :)

Harley Benton CL Superior-E-VS

Product arrived today, out of the box it looks great. The neck was a little off with the strings resting on the first fret. First item I noticed was the tuner did not work. Added a new battery still not working, pick up is also not working. It's not worth the cost of shipping to return it from the US. You never know what you will get. Overall the guitar sounds much better than I thought it would. I have 2 Harley Benton guitars and a 3rd on the way, hoping it comes in a little better than this one. Will be posting You Tube reviews on all three in the near future. The guitar is worth the price, just wish I could play it through an amp.

Amazing guitar

For the price this guitar is really superior. Sound is really amazing, lovely warm and deep sound that I haven't found in other guitars I've tried, which is much more to my liking. Much better then other hummingbird copies and similar priced guitars I've tried before going for this one. I use this purely as acoustic so can't say much for the electric portion of the guitar. A minor problem I've found is when playing with a capo higher up the neck there is easily a bit of buzzing. Could perhaps be fixed with professional setup or string change but it hasn't bothered me that much yet

Harley Benton delivers again

After purchasing Harley Benton's Custom Line King (J200 copy), which was simply amazing, I had enough faith in HB to buy this new Hummingbird copy branded the Superior. I've played Epiphone Hummingbirds and, just like the King sounded way better than the Epiphone EJ200, this HB-built copy exceeds the Epiphone counterparts in every way. For less money you get a richer sound which comes a lot closer to the actual Gibson Hummingbirds than the sound that Epiphone delivers. As others have pointed out, the finish is perfect, although I'm more of a fan of cherrybursts than vintage sunbursts when it comes to Hummingbirds. That's personal taste obviously but it would be nice to have a choice, at this point the vintage sunburst is the only version of the Superior available. Other than that, this guitar exceeded all my expectations, just like the King did. In this price range these Harley Benton models are simply as good as they come.
