Very OUTSTANDING!

Let me just say… the wide neck is genius! Everything about it… The cut away, Fishman pickup… tone!! Very pleased!!!

Super pleased

Arrived 2 days early at 8am on Saturday. Very pleased with this guitar. The creamy-action was very well set up, it won’t need any alteration, plays like a dream. Wide neck takes the toil out of fingerpicking. The interior looks cleanly done and the solid spice top is lightweight, which lets the sound resonate. I would describe the tone as “good new guitar”. Definitely staying here. This will be my go to. The action far exceeds, my other guitars. Finish wise the satin finish had a few microscopic blemishes where I think dust settled in the varnish in 4 or 5 spots - less than a grain of salt in size. I picked them off, otherwise immaculate. The varnish coat is not too deep and should allow the tone to ring.

still learning, so i need time to get used to larger size, you can tune then

play straight out the box, perfect. the built in EQ is just what I needed.

incredible Guitar for the money

This Guitar sounds incredible i have wanted an Acoustic for ages but never got round to buying one as i was not sure what to get as i have large hands and i struggle with my Electrics being 43mm so when i noticed that this had a 48mm nut i had to try it and am i glad that i did it sounds fantastic and it is easy for me to play the Quality is Top notch and it played Great strait out of the box, all i have done to it is Tune it up i did not even have to stretch the strings and it is still in tune 3 days after i received it and i have hardly put it down since i got it i Love this Guitar now i am searching to see if Harley Benton do an Electric Guitar with a 48mm nut in a Left Handed or get a custom made neck for my Mexican Strat lol

stunned by the price and quality

I am so pleased with this guitar. For some time i had been practicing on a right handed guitar with the snares turned around but it always sounded meh. This guitar was in my price range and since i have been playing so much more then before. the electric feature is great, so is the design and acoustic sound.

just amazing!

Superb

Wow! HB you're really delivering the goods. This guitar is superb. I'm gigging regularly and the tone and playability makes the baby a dream to own. Sure I had it set up to suit me but that also was the case with my Martin and my Larrivee. This sweet girl sits comfortably in their company. Thank You

I cannot believe this guitar. Amazing.

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years, and have had a lot of axes in that time. My main acoustic guitar, which I have had for 20 years, needs immediate fret repair because the frets are so worn from being played to death.

I have a number of performances coming up and I can't be without a guitar for those and don't have lefty guitar friends that I can borrow one from. So I wanted to get a cheap semi-acoustic to see me through while my main guitar is being repaired. Money is tight at the moment, so I couldn't overspend.

The Harley Benton arrived this morning and I have only put it down to write this review. I am stunned that something that costs so little can be made to this quality. Out of the box it is very playable. The action is low enough, but I may need to make it lower, but that is just a preference thing. As I say, it is totally playable out of the box. The tone from this thing is gorgeous. Really gorgeous. I'm looking forward to recording with it. Plus it has a built in Fishman preamp and tuner. Incredible.
