Harley Benton D-120CE NT 5-stars Reviews

Astounding

Use: 2nd acoustic for a chap who is a bass player and occasional strummer.

The bottom line: Astounding.

In a little more depth: I am (I think quite often rightly) a touch wary of rapturous online reviews - although I have given my fair share of them on here because I have only rarely found something I have bought not to be excellent, or at the very least more than acceptable. This instrument has many heroic reviews praising its utter fantasticness. In a nutshell it deserves them. At twice the price it would be a bargain. It simply sounds and plays astoundingly well for a starter/basic instrument. I may be disbelieved, but I bought this to replace a Yamaha APX700 with which I had never really gelled - the action was too high and I couldn't get it lower, it was uncomfortable to play and didn't sound especially good either acoustically or plugged in. This amazing guitar does. I use the acoustic or clean setting on my Boss Katana - lovely. It looks pretty good too, very few tiny glitches in the finish you need to look very hard to find. The only gripe is that there is no built in tuner, but hey so what? Mainly because it stays in tune so well too. The machine heads are lovely too. Really there is pretty much no end to the good things to say about this instrument. If you are after a good western guitar that is in addition amazing value for money then just buy one of these. Astounding!

Just Stunned at how good this is for the price.

I really wasn't expecting much for the price, but from the minute I opened the box I was impressed.

The build quality is exceptionally good at this price point. The overall tone of this guitar is not far off my C F Martin DX1, which cost me over £600 three years ago. The only thing I have done so far is to lower the action and change the strings, but that is my personal preference. Tuners seem good and its stays in tune well. The Bridge pickup seems to work fine, although I've not rigorously tested it as yet.

I showed it to my brother-in-law, who plays professionally in a band and he had not heard of the Harley Benton brand and thought it was American. When he'd finish playing it I asked him how much would you pay for one of these. He paused for a second or two and said £400 to £500. He was blown away when I told him it was £76 shipped to the UK. The next day he phoned me to say he had just ordered one.

A great second guitar which wouldn't let you down taking to a gig.

Go buy one, you won't be disappointed.

Good

It's a cheap guitar so obviously the tones aren't going to be amazing, but for the price it sounds just fine. It sounds like an acoustic, it looks good and it plays fine. The only thing I changed was I tightened the truss rod a little bit.

The finishing isn't perfect, but it's not noticeable unless you look very closely. If you look closely you can see many imperfections which is to be expected with such a cheap guitar.

Haven't had any problems with it, would recommend

The best I have seen at this price!

This is the best guitar I have played under 300 euros! And considering that I paid less than 100¤ I can only say GREAT!

I have an expensive one. So I wanted to buy a cheap one for my trips to Africa. I was stunned by the quality and sound of this guitar that did not touch the 100 bucks line.

Of course you can find better guitars but you need to pay three times this price at least.

The finishing is a bit chinese, but buy an Epiphone at 450 euros and you are buying a chinese product anyway.

Action was good

Intonation was good

Tuners they make the job

Sound good to better

Playability strings need replacement

I recommend it without doubts

Great Product

I purchased this guitar for a beginner. I was very surprised when it arrived. The quality was perfect. This guitar is easily comparable to some guitars that are a couple of hundred euro more expensive. If you are a beginner looking for a guitar this is the ideal start up. It would also be suitable for a back up guitar for an intermediate player.

The electronics in this are also very good.

Without a doubt the best guitar at this price range.

Highly recommended!

Budget but great

All that was needed was a slight adjustment to the action and played like a guitar worth a lot more, well worth the money AA++

Very good Guitar, got it to France in perfect condition. good value for money !

Great guitar! To begin with appearance. Complaints on it there. Guitar Looks very nice, especially if you do not use an adhesive label in the form of drops. That's all for the mind. Sound chic for your money! I put immediately Martin 11th phosphor-bronze. The sound is incredible. Priyanymi rich overtones. Long enough. Suitable for beginners fingerstyle guitarists learning. The sound through the amplifier turned out pretty decent, too. Guitar good value for money for any budding guitarist. Also suitable and just amateurs that guitar just a way to spend a pleasant time, but not a specific hobby or job.

A Very Good Choice!!!

I bought this product in order to play at little gigs. And, far as i know it has done a very good job. The quality of the instrument was what surprised me the most. For example, the color of the product, maybe because of the light, is very different from the image shown. But, a very good feature, besides it didn't had scratches and dents, so i think it's very important to share. When i'm playing like bluesy or mellow songs it is able to sustain the sound and thats it's what i like. For this reasons, i highly recommend it.

Quality more than cost

That's all true that people said about this guitar. Beautiful sound, excellent quality, nice design, great frets fitting; one of the very good acoustic guitars I've played. The EQ/mic is cheap, but not so important, 'cos can be changed. Finally, I'm really happy with this guitar and its sound. So, if you have no much money to buy genuine Cort, Fender, CS... guitar, you can buy this one without any doubts. Because this HB guitar is on top of quality/price range. Highly recommended.

You will not believe this guitar!

Amazing quality for the price, action is very playable, plugged in it sounds great, way better straight out of the box than the Yamaha my friend just purchased. Very very good for the low price and highly recommended!

Very cool for price
