Harley Benton HBO-600BK 3-stars Reviews

Am not impressed

I wanted to try this guitar because I was attracted with design and I saw it is relatively light and easy to transport. Yes, it looks OK, and not bad for transport but the sound I was not impressed with. It sounds quite "metallish" and lacks the warm sound of guitar. It also very easily get untuned...I need to tune it every 15 minutes and if there is any fast song that requires stronger picking I need to tune it after every song..... I suppose it worth the

money but I would choose another model next time.

Budget buy

It's cheap, so I wasn't expecting much. The sound, WHEN YOU FIRST BUY IT, is pretty good. It's perfect for somebody just starting out in guitar - not expensive, okay sound and comfortable to handle.

After a while, the sound starts to become worse and the neck starts to bend pretty quickly. It's a budget buy - it's good for a year, but if you want something that lasts any longer than that, you'll have to spend a bit more money.

awkward to hold

i was never really an acoustic guitar kinda guy, so i always approached steel strings as a "no need to bring an amp electric guitar" kinda way. so with this, and its rounded back, i have no clue how to hold it properly. it always wants to slip off my leg, and its quite uncomfortable to play standing (as i prefer to move around when playing my guitars). so i had to play it sitting down with the neck slightly tilted downwards instead of the other way around, just to keep it stable on my leg. using a strap doesnt help. so before buying a rounded back guitar, be sure to try out if ure comfortable with it first, cheers!

It's a starter product

This is a good product if you intend to use as a beginner.

The main minus is that it has a small neck (not short, small).

The second minus is that the bridge is quite high. I had to work a bit to have a good setup.

Anyway the sound is good, above all if you amplify it.

You get a beginner acoustic guitar, which you can easily amplify according to your needs.

The amplified sound is quite good, warm, enough crisp and quite powerful.

You can also tune the sound a bit for your P.A., having it a bit warmer or harsher if you need it.

At the very end I'm quite satisfied with the sound of the amplified guitar, a bit less on the not-amplified sound, which is not powerful enough-
