Harley Benton D-120CE VS 5-stars Reviews

It works!

I bought this guitar because i am currently without an acoustic and i needed a fast solution. It turns out this guitar was the right choice. The guitar plays really well, the neck feels natural and the sound is surprisingly good.

Pros:

Nicely shaped neck, good playability, great looks, better tone than you would ever expect from a guitar in this price range. The tuners work okay.

Cons:

It's really hard to find something wrong with this guitar, considering the price. The sound lacks a bit of low end (comparing to much more expensive guitars) , but nothing disturbing.

If you are considering an acoustic guitar and want to spend as little as possible, i can't reccomend it highly enough. I've played all types of guitars, from Fenders to Martins, and i still love playing this guitar. Best value for the money by far. Did i mention it looks really nice aswell?

very satisfied

my kids have been using this guitar for few years now and they are very happy with its quality even their music teachers.

re strung with medium ernie balls copper 80/20 and projection improves with excellent clarity.

Great for the price!

I was not even looking for another acoustic/electric guitar but after my friend had bought one, I was sold and had to get one myself. This is a very solid mid-range instrument and an excellent value for the money. The pickup system works very well and instrument does not feedback, as is typically the case with these hybrid guitars. All the notes ring out very nicely, right out of the box. Would recommend to a beginner or a working pro on a budget too....

Harley Benton D-120CE VS

First off the delivery is really fast and the packing was if anything over packaged!.

but the guitar was absolutely beautiful when i eventually got it out of all the bubble wrap and a second box, Out of the box was almost in tune, but it did have a very conservative action, so after a little adjustment to the Nut and Saddle, it plays beautifully .

The guitar has a nice bright sound and does stay in tune, it is super light and comfortable, unfortunately i haven't tried the pickups or preamp so i cant comment on that, so bottom line if your looking for a lot of guitar for very little money, this is perfect :)

Excellent guitar for small money

Quality materials, excellent finishing and design.

The best bang for your buck!

First I want to preface this by saying that my rating is based upon other similar products and not in comparison to a $10,000 Martin.

I had seen several videos on youtube about HB guitars. When I saw the prices I was very skeptical so I thought I'd try this guitar out and decide from there. I was very surprised at what I received.

Quite frankly I was shocked at the quality I received for a mere $78! The guitar, surprisingly arrived with a perfect set up. Intonation was good and the action was low just the way I like it.

There were no flaws in the finish and truthfully the guitar is a real beauty to look at. The frets were well done and the nut was cut to perfection. The fret ends were a little sharp, but not problematic. The frets were a bit dirty, but that's usually the case with many guitars both high and low end. The fingerboard is a little dry, but that's an easy fix with a bit of fingerboard oil. However, I like the dry feeling on an acoustic so I won't be oiling it down.

The sound of the guitar was surprisingly good. Better than a more expensive Gianinni I had. I give it four stars because it is NOT a $10,000 Martin, but for the money the guitar sounds amazingly good. Acoustic guitar is best recorded with a mike. Yet when I recorded the guitar direct it still sounded very, very good! I can hardly wait for the next order to arrive. If you want a very good guitar on a budget, you can't go wrong with a Harley Benton brand.

Simply amazing!

This guitar is simply amazing for the price.

At just a snip you can have an exquisitely balanced acoustic guitar which is perfect for use by beginners and professionals alike.

Please don't hesitate to try this guitar as you won't be disappointed!

Amazing

Its awesome how they build a guitar for this price. Played a lot of acoustic guitars and that one is amazing. The wood is very good. Very low action. Just amazing.

Unbelievable quality for the money

Pros:

The guitar came in perfect aesthetic condition.

The action was 2mm at the 6th E string and 1.5mm at the 1st e string at the 12 fret, perfectly playable out of the box without buzzing unless you pick/strum very hard.

The intonation is perfect, I didn't have to fix or file anything.

The machine heads are amazing for the price, the guitar easily stays in tune.

The electronics work well, you even get a free 9v battery supplied.

I would certainly record with this guitar, it has a very nice balanced sound. I doubt anyone would be able to tell you're playing a cheap guitar from a recording made with this.

Cons:

I had to file the string slots on the nut to get a bit better action there, an easy fix.

The frets need to be polished and some of the frets are not leveled, but even in this condition the guitar is very playable.

After I polish and level the frets perfectly the guitar will play even better.

Overall:

I can't understand how they managed to make such a good acoustic for so little money. You'd have to spend many times more money to get anything better. Acoustics from Epiphone/Fender/Ibanez from a similar price range are not better at all.

Happy Customer

Moved from Canada to the UK and wanted a guitar for my Flat. This guitar has worked perfectly!
