Harley Benton D-200CE-12NT 3-stars Reviews

The sound is okay but

I've played this guitar for a year, always using it with D standard tuning. Then I sold and recently after I visited a local guitar repairman I noticed this guitar that I've sold and he said that he had to glue the bridge for 2 times already. It just keeps snap off. So beware, that thing probably won't last long in the standard tuning.

Buy cheap, buy twice

The saddle on the bridge is tilted and it will eventually break the tuning and then the bridge. This is not great, because of the tension the 12 strings put on the saddle. This is what happened to my other 6-string guitar of the same make. This time I noticed it early. In extreme cases push wood filling in between the bridge and the saddle, on the side of the neck. While it is hardening, keep pushing it in there until it hardens enough. Remove the microphone to have the saddle stay lower. Get a new saddle that fits with the bridge, if you can find one. Make a custom one. Apply some glue to the bridge on the neck side to slow down breakage of the bridge. Prepare to buy another guitar eventually, unless you want to go all in repairs.

overall, ok for cheap guitar,although i still find it expensive... but the matterial used are so bad-my half bridge could not stand the pressure of the 12strings so its floating..the cheap bridge,not worth glueing it so i ordered a new one(better wood),already lost time-effort and money.. why not buy a better quality from the start..

OK gitar

Kjøpte kun for å ha 12 strenger å øve på hjemme. Billig og fungerer fint. Mitt eksemplar har litt "trege", upresise stemmeskruer, men det regnet jeg nesten med til den prisen. Helt OK kjøp.

Alright but not brilliant

Thought it a little chunky in build though it looks nice and sound is good. Bought it for pub jams where i would not want to take a $2000 guitar. A couple of finish issues but this is a very inexpensive instrument...to be expected. The wood in the top bout was not flat but not enough to make me want to return it. Wood grain was absolutely huge, strange but an interesting visual feature.
