Harley Benton D-120CE BK Reviews

Great guitar. worth the pick up.

I've been learning guitar for the past few weeks on a classical guitar decided to pick up an acoustic. Seen this one and its reviews and they don't lie. Great quality, looks lovely. I don't know a lot of cons about guitars yet but I can for sure tell this guitar is worth it for learners or experienced guitarists. For the price to performance you can not go wrong. Fast shipping, came early then expected too overall happy :) 10/10 would recommend.

Best Beginner Guitar

After a lot of research I decided to go with this guitar as my first guitar. I am satisfied with this guitar and I enjoy playing it. Because of the pandemic and Christmas Rush the guitar came in 1 month. Overall it plays really well, but I have it is not perfect.

This is a very cheap guitar so for the price I am not expecting a very good sound but it is pretty good. I haven't tried to use it with an amp yet so I can't comment on that. The strings are pretty good but I would recommend changing them after 1-2 months, so when you buy the guitar buy it with 2 spare packs of strings.

The quality is not very good. From far away it looks perfect but if you look closely it has a lot of scratches that came from the factory. They are not very visible and they look like the guitar is dirty. The nut on the 3rd string is not cut properly but for a beginner it is all right. In the end I recommend this guitar for anybody who doesn't want to spend a lot of money because it is worth it.

An amazing guitar for a great price! It's begginer friendly as well and the design is neat! Just gorgeous sound!

The perfect guitar for beginners

Pleased with the order and perfect for a beginner

Realy good for the price. I took it as a beginner and i was not very gentle with it. I have it almost 3 years and i am really happy. If you want a guitar affordable that sounds good, then thats the best option.

a great first acoustic guitar

i am very impressed with this guitar,it feels and plays like a much more expensive guitar mine came with all level frets and no fret sprout witch you would expect for a guitar at this price range.GREAT BUY!!!

An inexpensive guitar. For this price, it is not better to find. Frets stick out a little. I'll probably replace the strings soon. The strings seemed to be in use.

There are small scratches on the guitar body.

Love this guitar.

Once the strings had been changed for better ones it plays and sounds lots better.

It punches well above it’s weight for what it costs.

Street-cool

Cool looking guitar that is good for learning or to take to the beach ( no need to worry about scratches or the cold weather)

good guitar

the sound the comfort the space is the best this guitar is the best I have had I highly recommend it for beginners and why not for advanced people

Good guitar for beginners

Good full size guitar with a cutaway, so the bottom frets can be reached easily. Build quality is decent. However, there were some frets that were a bit sharp and not finished well. This could have been better. Delivered to Sweden perfectly. The packaging was great, and there was no damage to the guitar during shipping. The guitar also has a built in pickup. This is decent, but to find a pickup at this price point was surprising. Sound was also pretty nice, with decent string action. Overall, would recommend it for a beginner.

A surprisingly good guitar

I didn't anticipate much at this price point, but this is quite a good guitar.

My only real critiques are with the bridge of the guitar, and the bridge pins.

The bridge is a less refined, and seemingly softer piece of wood. It seems to have been rather rough cut, and could use some love from a cabinet scraper. The holes for the bridge pin aren't the cleanest work, and the wood here is pretty soft.

Some of the bridge pins seem to have been forced in a little too far, which considering the soft wood, and the cheap bridge pins, makes them rather hard to get back out again.

I've yet to plug it in to a PA system, so I can't speak to the amplification, but acoustically the guitar sounds great. Fit and finish are surprisingly decent, and it was set up fairly well when it made it to me.

Great guitar

My son loves this guitar and quality for the prise is 5*.

Bargain

This is my first acoustic, but not my first Harley Benton. I am a fan of the brand and expect low price, but with a few bits of personal preference in the setup.

Out of the box and tuned easily so off to a good start. I put a little more neck relief on it, felt there was a bit of choking. Think this is my preference/playing ability and not a problem at all with the guitar.

Tops of frets 14- 20 were very rough, but you cant access these as they are attached to body of guitar and the bottoms of these frets in the cut away are OK for smoothness.

Plugged this into my electric amp on clean and works well, but it gives a good sound on its own.

Some notes not in the description,

Comes with a new 9V D battery, take this out of plastic wrapper to make it work!

Comes with 2 pick guards, that are stick on, one tortoise shell the other black.

No cable

Good for the price

Good quality for the price, nice sound, you cannot expect more. If you're looking for a super beginner guitar for few bucks you'll be satisfied for sure, it can be compared with guitars that costs 50/80 euros more

Really great value for price

If you are looking for a beginner/intermediate acoustic, look no further. This one sounds great, looks great, you can even connect it to an amp or record with it easily because of the built in electronics. Perfect value for the price

Solid 4 stars.

Got 2 of those. One for me, one for a friend as a gift.

Both arrived without a scratch on the finish.

They look better than some of my other higher priced guitars.

One of the guitars had slightly creame finish instead of white, but who cares with that price :D. I've gifted the better finished one to my friend, and he liked it.

Both of them came out of the box playable, but the fret ends were sharp. And by sharp I mean...well sandpaper scratches your fingers less. 15-20 minutes with a file and a bit of polishing sorthed this problem out on both of the guitars.

The tuners are not the best, but they do their job.

Changed the strings on both of them, as I was unlucky to break a string while tuning the firsth one for some reason, and the second one had rust spots on the strings.

Soundwise... they both sound great.

With Daddario EJ10 strings, In open D tuning, the sound is deep and swampy. In standard tuning, the highs are clear and punchy.

Overall, you will need to spend some time on finishing the frets probably, but otherwise, it's just a great bargain for the price.

Amazing beginner guitar!

Super easy guitar to learn on and great sound.

Great beginner guitar!

When i first bought this guitar i wasn't sure if it would be the best. Once it arrived i tried out all of its features like being able to play through an amp and I have to say that i was really surprised! This guitar sounds and looks great. The only problem is that the output jack gets a little loose sometimes and fell into my guitar once. But all in all it's a great guitar.

A bargain

For what this guitar costs it's an absolute bargain, Left it a few days to settle after being delivered but no issues with it staying in tune since. I couldn't find any faults with the finish at all
