Harley Benton D-120CE NT 5-stars Reviews

Great Sounding Inexpensive Acoustic Guitar

I bought this for a family member. I, of course kept in in my possession for a while. It sounds fine acoustically and really sounds great with the preamp. I have some fairly expensive acoustics but I don't have a cut-away.....so I may have to buy on of these for myself! Happy with this one!

Awsome

I bought this guitar to sand it down and make a drawing on the front with a pirographset and than perhaps selling. I hardly played the guitar. After burning and finishing with lacquer I lowered the action for play-ability. I Played it,......I don't sell it. It sounds awfully good. It is not going to leave. And I have played quite some expensive guitars to. Adition....After 2 years of use this is still flawless. Wonderful and a very good sound when using the right strings.

WoW! What a great buy!

This is my 3rd Acoustic. The first two were a Epiphone and Fender that cost about 5 times the price of this guitar. They are ok but no better in fit and finish. They don't sound as good as the HB with its factory strings. The only fault I can report is the wiring retainer block inside the body which has double sided tape on it came loose during storage or shipment. A easy fix when ever I decide to change the strings. If there has to be something wrong I'll take that every time. Order a Saddle when you buy. The one that ships on it is brittle plastic. Tuning the "G" string it popped a chip out of it. The other strings are digging slots into it. Still thrilled with the Guitar and expected that part would need a upgrade. The Nut is doing well so far. I have one on hand just in case.

Best value for money !!!

Can't believe how good the guitar is if you look at the price. Every beginner should have one of these ! Even more experienced players who want to jam out at home without paying a lot of money, i use this one every day. Put some elixir strings on it and it sounds fantastic (sounds waaaaay better than you would expect looking at the pricetag)!

Great Guitar

Very happy with this guitar. Sounds as good as any high retail priced guitar. Great purchase

Very good for the price!

This guitar is used at home to play simple strumming music and fingerpicking songs.

I am a beginner who usually plays more electric guitar than acoustic guitar.

The finish on guitar is very good for the price. Even the sound is very good.

The small con that can be solved easily is that the fingerboard is slightly dry.

69 dollars??????

Got my D 120 yesterday and wasn't sure what to expect. guitar was in great shape and packed well. Had to lower the action and of course put new strings on it and dressed the fret board. This guitar is amazing for 69 dollars.The only issue I had was taking the pegs out of the bridge, Little pieces of wood flaked off the bridge when taking the pegs out. Was not concerned about it. Action was quite high so I shaved the bridge a little and she plays almost as good as my Martin. Again I don't know how you guys do it! I will spread the word to all players I know.......except the brand snobs! LOL!!

Amazing

An amazing instrument - one would expect to pay four or five times the price for this sort of quality - It came set up perfectly and sounds unbelievable

Follow up review

I play this guitar everyday and it gets better - day by day - week by week - I record myself [no vanity here] and playing back the earlier videos it becomes very obvious - The better it sounds the better my playing becomes - I have some top end guitars that haven't matured so well

Great guitar for your money.

The fingerboard was very dry and has porous pits. Frets are not set perfectly. The strings are high even with a low threshold.

Everything is perfectly packaged, but one of the protections (2 adhesive pads included) was bent.

But all this stuff considering the very low price!!! Despite all the shortcomings, I do not regret buying.

My 15 year old son loves it!

Excellent sound n professional guidance over the telephone. Totally satisfied!

nice guitar

very nice sound out of this acoustic,,and plays well

all good for that money

Great value guitar.

String action was a little bit high for my taste. No frets had sharp edges, which is good for a guitar of this price range.

Changed strings to a lighter gauge and sent this guitar to a luthier for a proper set up. Now it plays amazing.

Didn't test electronics thoroughly, but I've plugged this guitar into an amp and at least it worked :)

Acoustic sound is ok. I have a Hohner HW220 and it has a more rich(more low end) sound compared to this guitar.

But for the money, it is amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing! Very pleasant surprise!

I purchased this guitar just to mess around a little bit since I've been focusing on other things aside from music, but the sound and build quality just blew me away! VERY well finished for a 70EUR guitar, and THE SOUND! Just WOW! This sounds better than the Epiphone AJ200 I had a few years ago.

Of course the action came a little higher around the 12th fret, and the fretboard came a little dehydrated. It took some setting up, but this is my new favorite instrument. I can't put it down.

If I had to complain about something, it would be about the fake mother-of-pearl sticker around the sound hole. On the pictures it actually looks like an inlay, but it's just a sticker. I don't really care about this stuff, especially on a 70EUR instrument, but there's that.

Excellent guitar

I cannot believe I'm getting this good sound from a guitar this cheap! And it even has a decent pickup to boot.

Really good for that price

I didn't expect anything special for that price. I think it sounds good, with a good set up and elixir strings this is the best buget acoustic guitar ! I recommend this !

Best buy for money

I own a lot of acoustic guitar in different price ranges, and I bought this one just for a backup guitar or a prty guitar. You know. If the wine spill up you don?t even bother. Oh man was I wrong. I am also a guitar teacher and I found myself using it daily when I teach or to borow it to my students. I also do lots of acoustic shows and in most cases I take it with me for a back up guitar for my Lag or Yamaha transacoustic main guitar.

The craftmenship is almost as good as my 300-500¤ price range acoustic guitars. There are obious drowbacks (freet work, tuners), but man what can you expect in this price range.

The sound is preaty solid. Acousticaly and eletrified. The same, pick up is not out of this world but preaty damn good for the money.

Would highly recomemned to every body who wants a budget guitar but with a great tone or whoever just needs a cheap back up acoustic guitar or a party guitar that you don?t mind scrach

Great buy

Worth the money. Build quality and sound quality is too good. Probably the best buy in this price range. Most importantly, I product had a long way to travel to me (from Germany to Finland) and the quality of packaging is praise worthy. I found it sound and intact.

I didn't expect how great it will sound at that price range.

For over five years I had an amazing dreadnought guitar from Yamaha, that was worth 8 time as much as this guitar, and I really enjoyed playing it. However, when I was moving abroad, I had to sell some of my guitars, and I had to part with this amazing instrument. I am trained classical guitarist and steel string guitar is not a priority in my guitar arsenal. Recently, however, I wanted to experiment with different types of guitars, and try different sound arrangement with jazz, steel-string and bass guitars. Harley Benton proved to be a positive surprise in the past, which is why I decided to give a go to this guitar, while buying a semi-hollow electric guitar.

WOW! I was really surprised by this guitar when it came. It sounds amazing! It also looks really well. There is no negative feedback I can give to the acoustic side of this guitar. In 18 years of playing guitars, I have never encountered such an extra-ordinary price/value ration. If you are looking for well-sounding acoustic guitar, just go for it. At that price you don't have much to loose.

I am less enthusiastic when it comes to pickups. They are OK, but not as great as the rest of the guitar. Nice to play around with them, but could use an upgrade for professional music playing. The controls are made from rather cheap plastic, which really stands apart from the rest of the guitar. However, for a bit under 80 euro this is not a thing to complaint about. It is also a great idea for a gift, that will stun those who will get it.

Good guitar for this money.

Very quite impressed with the quality and sound of this guitar. Guitar still has some kind of flaws, like the strings are a bit high, but that can be easily fixed. Overall I rate this guitar very good as I did not expect to get such a good product for such a small price.
