Beautiful

Great acoustic for the money

Great for the price

Sold my Martin and bought this HB - This is not as good but close enough for me i saved £1900

Buy one you wont regret it !

fast delivery, good price and quality! Thank you

A simple straightforward acoustic electric strummer.

I needed an acoustic guitar I could plug into my amplifier to make some background music to play over, and this one was nice looking and cheap. So I took a chance and bought one as at this price there wasn't a lot to loose if it turned out to be dire. But as it turned out it was anything but dire! It is very well constructed, and in the high gloss blue colour, looks beautiful. It may not match some of the top names in Acoustics for tone and projection, but for me, or for a first ime guitar it is just fine. Not too hard to play, stays in tune well, and has a very melodic chime when played. All in all I am very pleased with this guitar and it should serve my needs for quite a few years. Another winner from the Harley Benton range!

Amazing guitar for the price

Very impressed. Looks are great. Action is spot on out of the box. Sound is great. Intonation is great. Doesn't feel like a cheap guitar at all.

Cheap and Cheeful Guitar

I bought one of these for my step-daughter as she wanted to learn guitar as well. I was pleasantly surprised by it. So much so that I've just ordered one for myself as well. Great sound and a sweet look for the price range. Highly recommend for beginners or experienced players who are looking for a "knockaround" guitar.

Amazing

I bought a second one as a gift after receive mine. Is just amazing.

How you can produce this quality for this price I have no idea

First of all, this guitar is a beautiful rich blue burst and there is not one flaw in the finish. It holds tune really well and has arich full-range acoustic tone. Through the pre-amp the piezo sound is even richer. It only cost me 72 pounds, but I would happily play it anywhere with pride. The only thing I have done has been to refresh the neck with a little lemon oil and replace the strings with a slightly heavier guage.

Beautifully sounding and stunning looking guitar..

I bought this harley benton acoustic for my husbands birthday, to be honest I didn't have to spend alot for a great sounding and looking guitar, he loves it and he said it sounds and plays better then his other more expensive one. So all winners here. 👍💙

Very nice for the price

I just purchased my second Harley Benton because of the experience that I have had and enjoyed from playing this guitar. I am a novice player and I can’t really afford a higher end name brand. A friend suggested Harley Benton and is has not disappointed!

Excellent and super quality!!!!

Great for its price

It's good looking and sounds good. It lacks a bit polishing in a few places, but nothing that would bother. It's totally worth the price. The original strings aren't great, I've changed them after some time and it sounds even better now.

Unbelieveable

Saw youtube video about this being pretty poor build and setup, but cheap enough for me to buy and improve myself. Thought it would be a good project for my beginner luthier skills.

Only setup I needed to do was put a set of Elixir strings on it.

I wish this had been available about 40 years ago when I started playing.

Great Action

Great Intonation

Great Nut Slots

Smooth Machine Heads

Great Sound

It's either too cheap to believe or I got a lucky one.

Best guitar at this price!

Very beautiful guitar design! Comes with pickguard. The sound is great and for the pre amp comes with 9v battery included. I love this guitar! The only thing i didnt like so much is that is too big and sometimes it's painful to play but im a really beginner so that might be my personal problem. Overall I absolutely love this guitar and I recommend it !

So good!

I bought this guitar mainly for playing live, I've never used the pickups and the electronics. They say a good instrument is supposed to sound good acousticly before else. And yes - this guitar does just that!

For 9 months of playing I've not experienced any quality issues. The lacquer finish is great. The neck joint is stable, so are the nut and bridge. The tuning keys are quality as well. Frets are done pretty nice. None of them is sticking out. I can't really find anything flawed about this guitar. It just sings when played. It really got that high top end emphasis while maintaining the fundamentals of the tone. I really love it!

As a natural bass player I bought it with the intend of having a cheap guitar for live playing but there is not anything cheap about this guitar, besides its price, trust me! Harley Benton reminded me again their products should not be valued and measured by their price tags.

I can't really recommend this enough to every body!

Love this

Bought this for my daughter as a first guitar to learn on plays well sounds beautiful

A pleasure

Fantastic instrument for invested money. Great guitar for beginners. It is easy to tune, it keeps the tune. It's soft. It looks beautiful. It is a real pleasure to have. My recommendation.

Good guitar for start.

I bought this guitar for home use sometimes. Very good sound, the neck is moderately playable, the fittings are excellent, the appearance is very good! I am very happy! I recommend it!

amazing value

I use this guitar for practicing. I have been an amateur player for about 30 years, my first "nice" guitar was a 1987 Ibanez RG550 which I played in the early 1990's until I needed to sell it to make rent in college. I'm now 48, my day job is an IT Systems Engineer so I don't consider myself a musician but I do dabble.

My girlfriend has a $5000 Martin acoustic-electric, this is not a guitar in the same league obviously, but it's about the only thing I have to compare it to, as I haven't played much acoustic over the years. If I use that guitar as a reference, I would say this guitar is much more pliable, just grabbing onto it and holding the neck makes it bend a quarter semitone or so. I bought this guitar because I was already ordering a Fusion 2 HSH FBLB I had wanted for quite a while and had to wait several months for there to be stock.

TBH, this guitar has impressed me most of the two I ordered. The strings it came with are more than adequate. The sound is warm and bright. After the strings were broken in the guitar keeps tune pretty well. Cosmetically, it is a beautiful instrument, and you'd really have to be a guitar guru/snob/luthier to know that it is a really inexpensive guitar. I think the engineering on it is excellent. I haven't tried it plugged in yet. Machine heads seem to be a fairly adequate quality. Fretwork is excellent, no sharp edges or buzzes. The action from the factory is spot-on.

Pros - inexpensive, sound quality, playability, excellent setup, looks great

Cons - Could be a bit more rigid

I highly recommend this guitar, especially at this price point
