Good sound, disappointing build quality

There are some good things about this guitar - it sounds nice for the price, and the pickup system is also OK. Tuners and woodwork are also OK. However, the screws that hold the pickup system and the straplock in place fell out quickly and had to be glued back - the body is made of soft plastic, so that once the screws fall out, you can't screw them back in, because the body is actually broken.

Overall very good

Strangely this guitar does not sound as nice as the identical but black one that came with it. The sound is a little 'twangy' but the quality is still nice, and it may just be that the strings need to be changed. A nice looking instrument for a very decent price.

Excellent low priced instrument

I bought this on behalf of a friend who is learning to play. I was dubious at first when I saw the price but very quickly changed my mind when I played it. I have played guitars many times it's cost that don't sound as nice as this. If you're not bothered about what it says on the headstock then this is well worth a go. Nice guitar, nice price.

Harley Benton HBO 600NT roundback

1 wanted to get a cheap round back and stumbled across this on the internet. Great looks, great sound, (acoustic and plugged in) that resonates well, and with a little tinkering with the truss rod (loosened about half a turn with the supplied key) got a nice playable action with no buzzing. The only issue I had with it when I received it was a slight string buzz (truss rod adjustment sorted this out) and the decoration around the sound hole was loose (a dab of super glue sorted this)

For £70 + £10 postage, what a deal, it came well packed and only took two days to get from Germany to the UK. A++

nice guitar

For the price, this is pretty damn good. The action needed lowering on this one, had to take the strings off, take the small white part of the bridge out and file it down (from the underneath side of course). The actual sound is surprisingly good, and the pick up is better than some acoustics I've heard that cost MUCH more.
