Harley Benton HBO-850 Classic Blue

Suprised

30 years of love for guitar took me there. I am not an active musician. But sometimes I like to play Spanish style Pop songs.

The guitar arrived in perfect condition.

All installation done. Some high action was needed but I toned it down a bit for better playability.

Electric, piazo is standard. Don't expect too much, but it's quiet and decent. Works at small events.

The paint is in good condition and has a shiny surface.

There are small unfinished details inside the small holes. No problem.

His voice is very successful acoustically. Although the body of the guitar is thin, it has a very loud sound.

There were small sharp parts on some of the frets, which did not hinder playing, but I did a little work and fixed them.

It made me very happy, I did not expect such quality for this price. My friends and my wife liked it very much. We especially loved its color.

I would definitely recommend it to those who want this type of model.

All setup was done. A litte high action was necesssery but I decreased a few for better playablility.

Electrical, piazo is standart. Don't expect too much but, noisless and decent. It works small events.

Brilliant And Beutiful

In a word, Wow!

What a nice guitar. Very beautiful looking, comfortable to play with good action at the frets, plus it has 23 frets which is harder to find on a classical guitar.

The acoustic sound is clear, clean and resonates very well with a beautiful tone.

Plugged into an amp, the electric pick up is very clean and clear.

It gives nice range of boost to the trebble, mid range and bass sound through the pick up controller on the guitar.

It is incredible value for the money.

I am thrilled with my purchase and love this guitar.

Incredible value guitar

OK, let me start by saying this is an incredible guitar. There's definitely bang for buck here.

I have one tiny problem, the pickup wires are creating buzz even on open strings. There is no buzz when i lay it down or hold it at an odd angle, but when i hold it to play normally, its buzzing. It absolutely is the wires, whatever way theyre sitting. Now that wouldn't normally be a major issue, but I can't get at them because of the pretty but small sound holes. I've managed to hook one wire and I taped it to the inside but I can't reach the other one.... yet, but I will, otherwise I'd give this guitar 5/5 in all categories, a guitar of this standard at this price point of deserves 5/5.

It is a stunning guitar, lovely warm tone. The fretboard and neck are just a dream to play. Not too loud, but that's what I wanted for playing at home in a small house. The quality is surprisingly good, for the price. If I can fix this buzz then I can see it becoming a go to guitar. Highly recommended

Edit: while the cables inside are very long and loose, I'm now not sure what is causing the g string to buzz. I'm now thinking it's the nut, but also some kerfing fell out of a sound hole. I don't want to have to return it. All in all, still a good value guitar considering the price point

Incredible value for the price

I got this for my daughter. I wasn't expecting that much based on the price, but I've gotta say it's impressive. The sound is clear, loud and crisp. The finish is beautiful.

The neck was almost perfect, just needed a slight truss rod tweak. The action is easy.

I put better Daddario EJ45 strings on it immediately, so I can't really comment on the sound with the stock strings, but with the EJ45s it's great.

First nylon string... NO RAGERTS!!

This is my first nylon string, and I think it's perfect as such. My girlfriend pointed out that the wood work on the front looked a little cheap. The lines on it look like they should be etched with a wood burner but they are drawn on. Extremely minor detail. It looks great and it has the warm, soft tone you would expect from a classical guitar. It plays great! I have not tried plugging it in yet, but the demos for the preamp are underwhelming. I expect as much for the price. I'm sure it's perfectly fine for live performances.

If you are thinking about getting this guitar, you will 100% want a strap. Round back acoustics are a pain to sit down with, as I'm sure many of you know but this is a tip for the beginners.

Nice classic for the price.

Guitar is really good for the price, as all hb products are. Pickup not so great but acceptable. It has a nice sound (recorded with mic) and I used it in some projects. For that amount of money, you will get a really good classical guitar. Tuners are also great. I wish I had such a quality guitars when I was starting out.

Beautiful blue finish. Great tone. Great value.

I was quite impressed when I received it. Well constructed, it looks and sounds great. It projects well, and the preamp is a nice addition. It amplifies while maintaining tonal qualities. The round back tends to make the face of the guitar roll upwards. I use a strap.

I like it so much, I ordered two more! Waiting on my order to process. I hope they will be as pleasing as the one I have.

I've read other people's comments about wishing the ornamental oak leaf sound hole amulets were recessed. Sure, however making such recess into the soundboard would be a structural issue, otherwise, I'm sure they would have done it. Either way, they're very nice and this is a great guitar at an amazing price. I have no complaints. 9 Harley Benton guitars and I love them all.

nice guitar

It is a nice guitar. Not that expensive, ideal for traveling or campfire songs.

It stays in tune well, it plays nice.

Only downside is that it slides away from your body when you sit and play.

la beauté du bleu

il ne faut pas oublier que cette guitare est une entrée de gamme, je pense qu'après avoir appréciée la beauté de la guitare ,, on doit automatiquement faire le rapport "qualité , prix". Ce constat permet de bien la classer. Cordialement
