Harley Benton Santos Series C-40SCE NT 5-stars Reviews

a very good guitar

the action is good, smooth neck and a pleasant build quality

Ease of use

I've been into acoustic for a lot of years and along the way I get to own classical guitars, 2 Ibanez and 3 Yamaha.

This Santos Series is really a surprise. First the sound is the same that you get from $700-priced guitars. Switching from steel to this one is remarkably easy because of the neck; not too wide. For those with smaller fingers, this one's spot on.

The sound when plugged is likewise impressive. The Fishman carries well this quite well.

I recommend this guitar for beginners and intermediate level players. Look beyond the brand name. At the end of the day, what pleases your ears is what you need to buy.

P.S. It's tune and play. The strings that go with it are really fine.

Unbelievable value for money.

Looks great, sounds great, plays great

Great value classical/latin guitar

I am mainly an electric player into Jazz but had been looking for a nylon string guitar for Bossa Nova and came across this HB model which has the smaller nut width of 48mm which I though would help my short fingers so I decided to go for it.

The guitar cannot be faulted. No fret buzz, level frets although needing a little polish, not rough fret edges. I decided to fit D'Addario EJ45LP strings as I will do anything to reduce string squeal but I believe this guitar comes fitted with a good quality D'Addario string set as standard.

I cannot comment on how this guitar sounds side by side with similar guitars but the tone to me sounds great and the under saddle Fishman pickup works really well.

So if you are looking to add a nylon string model to your arsenal then this guitar could be a good way to test the water without breaking the bank. Certainly the narrower nut width may help players transitioning from electric.

Very good quality at a low price.

The guitar is well refined. Very easy to play. Action is well balanced. Internal tuner and boost is an adding value.

Once connected with the amplifier the sound quality remain very high.

You have very little to envy to classic guitar of higher level when you are playing this one
