Harley Benton D-120BK Reviews
Fantastic value for money
If you are looking for a quality product at an affordable price, the Harley Benton D-120 series is the one that delivers on both fronts. i) The sound quality of the Harley Benton D-120 is impressive. Whether I'm strumming chords or picking out melodies, the rich tones produced by this guitar allow my music to fill the room with warmth and clarity. ii) Despite its budget-friendly price tag, the build quality of the D-120BK exceeds expectations. This guitar feels solid and well-made using the combination of Spruce, Sapele, Nyatoh and Roseacer woods. The glossy black finish adds a touch of elegance, and the craftsmanship is evident in every detail. iii) The narrow gap between strings and fret makes the playability of the D-120BK surprisingly good. The action is comfortable, making it easy to fret notes and navigate the fretboard with precision. Overall, I highly recommend the Harley Benton D-120BK acoustic guitar to anyone searching for a quality instrument at an unbeatable price. Whether you're a beginner looking to start your musical journey or a seasoned player seeking a reliable backup, this guitar is sure to exceed your expectations.
Good for money.
As expected an in accord with revues. Very good for that money. But ...
The final processing of the frets is also very bad because the metal edges remain sharp and give a bad feeling as if they will cut your fingers. I need to do something about it.
I recive guitar with some scratches, but in genere all is ok.
Very good for the price
I bought this guitar because I am a big Elvis fan and thought it looked similar to the gibson dove he used in aloha from hawaii, and for 75 euros it sounds and looks really good.
Decent starter guitar
The finish Is very good and it comes with an additional pickguard. It feels cheap in its handling but is pretty lightweight. The tuners are OK and the neck is just a little bit wider for my liking. The pins in the bridge are a pain in the ass to pull out, but I think if I buy different ones it won't be that much of a problem. The sound is surprisingly good, but with different strings. Trust me in buying the D'Addario EJ15 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar strings along with the guitar and you won't regret it.
Overall it's a decent and cheap solution for a starter player.
Great guitar for the price
Very good Quality build
Great sound
Harley Benton D-120BK
Great guitar for the price. I had to do a few adjustments when I got it (change the strings, adjust the action, etc.) but it was very playable out of the box. There are still a few sharp fret ends that I need to sort out, but I would recommend this guitar. It looks great and sounds great.
Very nice. Good sound.
Beginner's guitar
To be fair and honest: nice guitar for a beginner, after 4 years I can say this was a nice acoustic to begin with.
Cons: Maybe action is a little bit too high for my liking but that's not only personal but also something you can fix.
Good decent sounding starting guitar with some not perfect details, but for this price? Not too much say about it.
Only bridge pins were so tight in holes, that I had serious problem to get them out.
Great Bargain
Okay, if you compare this to a Martin or Gibson, you will hate it. For a bargain guitar, say anything under $300, this guitar is really good. I enjoy the sound, and it is very playable. It compares to many affordable acoustic guitars that you can find at Guitar Center or your local classifieds.
I think the main weak point is the finishing. The frets are good, but not perfect. Just little details here and there. Again, this isn't a Gibson Hummingbird.
Compare this to a Rogue, Squire, Washburn, or Epiphone and I think you will be happy with this guitar.
Well done for the price
The guitar is "playablaish" out of the box. First of all, it's a black gloss guitar. It's gonna get finger print the second you touch it. Frets need some TLC, they are fairly well filed at the binding but for first time player or a young person it might be too rasp. Slight color imperfections around sound hole. Tuners need some force, and experience, when turning to not snap the string. Overall a fine guitar for a first time player that will use it under teacher guidance or to use in hazard enviroments.
Bang for the buck
Excellent quality for beginners. some traces of glue on the sound hole. nevertheless, Good practice guitar for beginners and starting to learn guitar. Will definitely recommend.
Great Price, Good Quality
It's not a high end takamine or anything, but it plays beautifully, it doesn't hurt your fingers when you play bars on the first few frets, and the sound is loud enough.
I don't miss the lack of a tuner because I already have a Firestone clip on tuner which I trust more than onboard tuners, and I don't have to buy a 9v battery every week because the tuner battery ran out!
The frets are not sandpapered well enough, so if you try to move your hand along the neck, the frets will hand to cut you, but that can be solved with a sandpaper the first time you re-string the guitar.
Overall.. IT'S FIFTY NINE EUROS for an acoustic guitar that plays well AND STAYS IN TUNE. Can't beat that price. You could probably afford one of these every week, and give away the old one to a kid who's just starting.
Great value starter acoustic
Bought this guitar for my teenage son to learn, and for a budget acoustic it has a good build and great sound. OK, its nothing extraordinary... but for the price its an ideal starter acoustic guitar. Looks good in black and my son is very happy. No, you will not get a solid top sound and it isn't going to last a lifetime, but its a great foundation for a more expensive and refined guitar when he's older.
guitar ideal for beach, camping, drinking, or other occasional use... no tears if you brake it,
I gave it total rating as okay, because it is okay "for the price". quality is equal to price, so don't expect to much. but any guitar is better than no guitar at all :)
Decent guitar
Decent guitar for beginners, I bought this for practising chords when I don't wont to wake up the whole neighbourhood with my electric guitar. I didn't want a expensive guitar and for practising its great.
Cons it does feel cheap and the sound its not that great but for the price its decent enough.
Value for money
Bought 3 of these for kids who wished to start playing .. super value, playable instrument .. nice sound , attractive finish ..
Affordable usable acustic guitar
I bought this guitar for my wife who wanted to learn to play the guitar. For this reason I was looking for an affordable acoustic guitar that still sounds decent.
This guitar came as great solution to my requirements. The features for that price are great and it sounds solid.
Guitar came with very nice finish and in very good condition. Strings are very clean and I didn't notice any major imperfections.
It has a deep, full sound that you would expect from a dreadnought.
Use: Everyday playing at home
Pros:
- looks very good
- sounds decent
- very affordable price
Cons:
- doesn't stay in tune (this could be that it hasn't adjusted yet as well)
All in all I think it's a very good guitar for the price. Sounds good. I would definitely recommend this for beginner wanting acoustic or if you just don't want to spend too much until you see if you can get into guitar playing.
Sounds and looks amazing.. Great body, comfortable and with a nice ring with it..
Wonderful finishing with a pickguard option included, but I'll keep mine as is, all black.
