Harley Benton CG300CE NT 3-stars Reviews

Sold It

This guitar sounded good acoustically. Electrically the volume needed to be put on maximum. Maybe the preamp was bad. The treble needed to be put near maximum. The action was slightly high at the nut and saddle for a classical instrument. I really liked the cutaway design.

Intonation wasn't good. It wasn't the worst but it was not good enough for me. The finish was nearly flawless. On the bridge there was a rectangular inlay under the thick finish. It wasn't centered side to side. That annoyed me. Such a simple thing to adjust. It wasn't the type of inlay that was set into the wood. It was the type like a sticker that gets placed on top, similar to headstock labels. These disappointments meant that it didn't get played very often. So it was sold to a beginner player.

This was the first of three HB instruments that disappointed me. I doubt I'll ever buy another HB instrument without examining it first. I live in the USA.

For the price, you can't go wrong. This is a good instrument to take to the beach, with colleagues, without worries about damaging it.

The string action is a little bit high, it's not a slim in body nor in the freatboard. It's more a classic guitar ( i mean classical ) with cutway.

Don't expect MUCH from it, but I would say that unless you are kneen to pay 300 plus in a classci guitar, you should buy this one.

Very good choice for low budget

Based on the price of this guitar its a great option for someone who wants to play/explore classical tunes. Easy to play and also the jack allows to record as well.
