This is just amazing!!!

This is my first 12 string guitar. I wanted a bouzuki in the first place buy I couldn't afford it so me and my son found this. We bought it and it was shipped and arrived in 5 days total, we got it out of the box, tuned it and we were blown away. The finish is amazing, no scratches, fretboard isn't damaged, tuners are super fine smooth and don't de-tune. The string it came with are new and amazing and the whole guitar is just..WOOOW!!! I'm very please with this guitar and I'm keeping it in my collection forever. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants a 12 string. Cheers!

A nice surprise!

Looks like a guitar worth much more. Excellent flat neck, all frets nice and level and just the right action - no setup required other than a string change. A beautiful sound that fills the room. I have played for 20 years and now own a stack of Harley Benton acoustic style guitars and I see no point in upgrading, they are all surprisingly good.

Genuinely great 12 string.

Well, I've come to realise Harley Benton guitars are really excellent value for money (this is my 5th)

Sound - like a 12 string, the low strings are really bassy, the tops very bright. EQ isn't bad for the price and includes volume, low, mid, high and presence. AWESOME on open strings and appegios, really pleased!

Feel - like a 12 string! if you're coming form 6 strings it takes a little while to dial in the barre chords.

Build quality - I'm impressed again, no marks or flaws, looks lovely - very shiny! Obviously some of the parts aren't super high quality (like the nut) but the guitar tunes well and all 12 strings stay in tune. Action and intination are good

Love it, if you never had a 12 string you don't know what you're missing. Here's the perfect instrument to try it out without a huge financial investment.

harley benton hbd200-12 nt

well what can i say welcome to 12 string heaven for a ridiculesly cheap price.

SOUND :

the strings it comes with on are uselessy dead as allways (this goes for any guitar though from highend to cheapys). once strings are changed all is fine.

nice rounded sound over all, that lovley 12 string jangle not to shrill at all.

QUALITY :

1st off out of the box it seems flawless, the finish only is surley worth more than the whole guitar costs. the tuners are no frills but do the job admiringly. the 3 switchs on the eq work smoothly enough bit fiddly for big fingers but hey for the price you cant go wrong.

good value for money

This is my first 12 strings guitar. The sound quality is quite good and I didn't expect

to be better. Need to buy some spare strings because most probably they gonna break with the first tuning. This guitar is good value for money

Great sound for a great price

Would highly recommend this guitar, for the price it's terrific.

The neck is slightly heavier than more expensive guitars but it doesn't detract and that aside it's absolutely worth the price.

The tone is impressive, full, rich and jangly as you would expect from a 12 string and the build quality and finish is superb.

I will probably replace the string pegs at some point too as a couple popped out with the initial tuning but no rush... in all, very pleased...

From western styled to Amon Düül styled playing

Sounds and feels great in regards to the price. The perfect guitar for jam sessions and you can hook it up to speakers, use effects and do some early Amon Düül styled playing. Go for it!

great value 12 string

I was hesitant at first because this guitar is so cheap but as soon as I got it I knew it was a quality guitar. Sounds great acoustically and when plugs in through the pickup. The finish is ok, not perfect but for the price it is great. Great value for money.

Würde ich gleich wieder kaufen...

Diese Gitarre hab ich für meinen Sohn als Geburtstagsgeschenk geordert - weil er sehr am Gitarrenspiel interessiert war (und ist) und sich eine 12-saitige gewünscht hat. Der Sound ist gut - Qualität und Verarbeitung ohne Makel.

Die Saitenlage ist o.k. und das Instrument ist bundrein und (fuer eine 12-Saiter) gut zu greifen. Die dünne D-Saite reisst sehr leicht - man kann da eventuell mit einem anderen Saitensatz Abhilfe schaffen. Ist wohl sowieso angesagt...

Die Mechanik ist leichtgängig und der Pickup funktioniert gut - er hat schon bei zahlreichen Gigs gute Dienste geleistet (die Regelung ist recht komfortabel).

Die Gitarre ist im regelmäßigen Einsatz "and never let us down".

Fazit (wie die Überschrift schon sagt): Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen - und bei dem Preis gleich zweimal...

Harley Benton do it again!

Once again an excellent quality and excellent value for money guitar from Harley Benton. Plays like a dream out of the box, and the internal preamp sounds absolutely fantastic. Incredible value for money!
