Bought this for my daughter as a first real instrument. Excellent bit of kit easy to play sounds decent acoustically comes alive when plugged in.

Impressed by how good this guitar is

I am expanding my fleet of guitars and decided to add a round back semi-acoustic to the rack. I chose this guitar for its natural spruce finish and low price and I knew the quality might not be very high.

I was so wrong! It is very well-built and the action is really low, so it's comfortable to play and doesn't require any adjustment - it's perfect for me. The tuners are okay - I will upgrade them though, probably to Wilkinson 19:1 ratio Grover-alikes (I always do this if needed).

The electrics work fine, although there isn't a tuner or a phase switch but at this price I am not surprised or disappointed - what is fitted works great (I have other tuners).

The best part is the spruce top - I swear is has flame running against the grain (a little like flame maple). It's subtle but you can see the light dancing across the whole top! Maybe I just got lucky with this guitar but it a beautiful piece of wood.

And the sound? That classic, soft acoustic sound with plenty of projection from the circular sound hole. Even better when amplified - it's a unique tone, I think.

To summarise: I would definitely recommend this guitar, it looks and feels and plays way better than its low price might suggest. My third Harley Benton and the keep producing the hits!

Superb

I don’t know how they do this for the price! This guitar is excellent, played beautifully straight out of the box. Deffo recommended.

Great guitar for the money

It's a very good guitar for the money. The sound is pretty rich and clear. Almost everyone who played the guitar was shocked by how cheap it is. The pickup system is ok. It is a battery-equipped, which was a positive surprise :)

For the bad things, I can tell that the strings spacing at the bridge was way off. However, it is a normal thing to adjust the nut on a new guitar. Count on that if you buy it as a first guitar.

Also, the bridge is suited for some small ball-end strings, and mine chipped when I tried to install regular strings. Couple drops of glue and drill fixed it :)

I play it for about four years now and I still enjoy it :)

I love this guitar

Great sound. Best acoustic I've ever owner. And the pickups are great.

My only gripe is the that the back is very slippery. But I reckon it could be fixed by sticking some kind of course material onto it.

great guitar

so this is not a cheap guitar that is poorly constructed like other guitars in this price range. this is a great guitar the tone is clear and spanky. only had to adjust bridge height and the neck was spot on, great guitar for the money.

Very Good Guitar

Excellent sounding guitar especially at the price

Very good pickup and Really warm Sound

Crazy Nice Guitar

I have a Ovation Al DiMeola Signature 1769-ADII4 and kinda hate taking it anywhere. Well I'll tell you this guitar plays so much like mine. It's now in the trunk of my car with a battery pa amp and I just love playing it on the beach or anytime there's a get together with friends. I also bought the black model in a b-stock. It's perfect. I'm putting a list together of a TE, a St and a 35 that I am soooo looking forward to getting. Continued success, Great Company and products.

more than adequate

For this price, this guitar is a bargain deal. Surprisingly good build quality, guitar is more to the sturdy than the flimsy side. Built-in electrics are fine, I would say this is on par with some beginner Epiphone. You wont brag around with this guitar, but it will surely do the job. Sounds just as good as any other roundback, sound lacks a bit of "depth" that a classic guitar have, then again you dont feel that if using cable.

Imitation Ovation

Very nice guitar for the price. The guitar came packaged very nicely and everything was in good condition. There where no sharp fret edges and the fret board looked very nice. There is one spot on the fret board where the wood is rough, but it is not too serious. The tuners where good enough, as i have not had any problems with them so far. The sound is ok. When finger picking, the bass notes are not very loud. The only negitive was that the guitars bridge was not nice, and changing strings was hard. The bridge was multiple chips in in and was rough overall.

Pros:

Plays well

Good quality

Cons:

Some wooden parts where rough

The bridge

Overall, i would gladly pay about 200 euro for this guitar. The pros definitely outweigh the cons.

very good

it is a very good guitar for 92 euros

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++
