Harley Benton CG-45 NS Reviews

Great value for money

I think this is a great guitar for the price. Although cheap, the quality is outstanding. The guitar I received has some small imperfections but they do not affect its playability, sound, or looks. Most importantly, there are no sharp frets and it's a great set-up straight out of the box. The strings are not the best and the guitar certainly benefits from a better set of strings. Overall, great guitar if you want to pick up playing the guitar without breaking the bank!

Solo guitar

The products is the best for those who wants high quality guitar but they don't have enough money I will recommend this to the them this is the best with high quality sound

Phenomenal for the price

I bought this guitar for home practice, but it ended up getting used for gigs. Has a surprisingly punchy, bright tone. Very happy, and still going strong 👍🏼

Rapport qualité/prix

Qualité (prise en main, finitions et sonorité) incroyable pour un prix aussi ridicule. Initialement achetée (en 2022) pour disposer d'une petite guitare à trimballer partout (même où il y a risque de perte ou de vol), finalement je l'utilise tous les jours car elle est plus facile et rapide à saisir quand j'ai peu de place et de temps pour travailler. J'en prends d'ailleurs autant soins que de mes autres. guitares. Parfaite pour un débutant qui aurait peur de trop investir sans être sûr de continuer à terme. Très bonne idée de cadeau pour les enfants qui hésiteraient à s'y mettre...

Nice for it's price, but...

Nice guitar, moderate quality, no complaints. Considering how much it costs it makes up to its value. Sounds not that good, maybe suitable for broke beginners, to later switch to something better. Totally worth it's price, maybe it would even justify its price if it was slightly more expensive. Not a serious choice for a main guitar, but a good value for its price

Great value

For the price you really can’t expect much but in reality this guitar punches above its weight. It’s sturdy and sounds good. Easy player.

Brilliant value for money

Very light weight and comfortable to play. Tuners are fine and finish is very good. It's not perfect, It's a £59 guitar! The fretboard and bridge are very dry, but a bit of lemon oil soon sorts that out. The frets are fine too, could do with a little bit of finessing (a little bit rough at the edges) but they're completely playable as they are. The sound is very good, I don't think you'll find anything else this good for the money.

Hard to complain

At 68€ a pop, it's hard to complain about this guitar.

Yes, it did need work out of the box... the action was very high (close to 4mm)... the frets weren't level and were in desperate need of a good sand/polish... the neck relief needed adjusting (this helped a little with the action due to heavy bow... shaving a few mm off the saddle got it the rest of the way)... the cheap plastic nut was pinging on 3rd and 4th string + strings over 1st fret too high... the fretboard was dry and 'hairy' (wood fibers coming off) and the fret ends needed some smoothing over.

But once that was taken care of, the guitar plays well enough and punches quite a bit above its weight.

For the price there is no competition, best guitar in it's price range. The action is not to high, the frets have no sharp ends everything you want in an acoustic guitar.

Been playing this guitar for three years..

I bought this guitar almost three years ago and I'm happy to say it's held up really well. I bought it to have it around the house, and it has been played daily since. It still has a bright sound, the action is ok, and it stays in tune really well. I think it would be a perfect starter guitar as it's not too heavy and the neck is easy to play on. For the price, it's 100% worth buying.

Great knockabout guitar

A perfectly adequate guitar for learning or taking camping etc. without spending a fortune and worrying about your guitar. Sounds fine and plays well.

Impressive guitar

It sounds pretty good, and such amazing price!

So Good I bought it twice!

Buy as many of these as you can before I do, the mahogany alone is worth looting, sounds insane, sings like a guitar I've never heard. Beautiful things, not indestructible though, don't expect furniture.

Amazing guitar for the bucks.

Plays good, stays in tune. Only frets end are little bit sharp, so need some grinding before use. Otherwize amaizing guitar for this money. Cheerfully!

Great Cheap Guitar

This guitar is great. If you want something that you can beat the hell out of without worrying about the cash you dropped this is a great choice.

I put a brass nut and bridge on it and it has a beautiful ringing tone now.

Good camping guitar.

Great for the prisce

So this is my firs guitar that I bought. I borrowed guitar before that. It was a pretty expensive one but THIS guitar is better in my humble opinion. I love the look, but the sound is great! Fret work is good, the rosewood fretboard is fine, could do with some more polishing:) no seeping glue or anything like that. Only holes for the pins were a little rough. But you don't see that at all because its inside. 10/10 guitar would buy again

Cheap guitar but

Okay so it is a cheap guitar, but I got this in a bundle for about £110 including a years subscription to an online learning platform. The subscription should be around £100 on this platform.

The guitar: The tone is nice and the sound is big for what is not much bigger than a parlor model. The craftsmanship is acceptable and all round construction is okay. I am an experienced player and bought this for my son and he is happy with it as it isn't too big in size. A few cons: the guitar was shipped in a tuning higher than concert pitch which was strange, strings are normally loosened during transit. The frets show no signs of being crowned or dressed and are rough against the base of the fingers. The fret board is dry but nothing a good oil wont sort out upon first restringing. The action beyond the 7th is a little unmanageable so if you know what you are doing you might want to address this. The "scratch plate" comes as a sheet of cheap plastic and I wouldn't recommend even bothering trying to attach it.

All said, would I recommend it? For a beginner absolutely.

So good I bought 2
