Lovely, sweet little guitar

S Harrison, 09.02.2018

I bought this to play lounging on my sofa, laying on my bed or outside in the garden.
Out of the box, it's very playable - I haven't changed anything.
The mahogany gives a warmth to the sound, which I like. On a guitar body this small I don't think you'd need the brighter sound of a spruce top - I haven't tried the spruce version though.
Mine has a closely grained mahogany top rather than the more striped look of the one in the pictures - mine looks lovely. It's pretty light weight - ideal for what I bought it for. It sounds and projects much better than you'd think from the size (and price).
If I hadn't bought a CLA-15m soon after I'd be picking this up all the time - as it is, I pick it up a lot.
It has clarity, punch and warmth that are way above it's size and price tag.
Now the big question - is it as good as the Taylor? I have no idea, I've never played one. But it's the wrong question and missing the point; For the likely intended uses of this guitar, it's as good as you need.
Don't get me wrong - it sounds good, it plays well and it's fun to play. But do you really need to pay over £500 for a travel/sofa guitar?
It's hard to justify that unless you're recording with it a lot (to cut through the mix - and this will do the job). Or maybe want a smaller scale instrument for a child/teen. You could buy this and get two custom line acoustics (Harley Bentons) for that money - I know which I'd prefer and that's exactly what I've done.
Tuners - they do their job. People complain about a lot of new guitars not holding their tuning but it's just because they haven't bedded the strings in - (pull them away from the guitar 3-4 times, tune the string back up, do this 3 times for each string - you'll now hold your tuning). Speaking of which - when I tried that on this guitar the peg came off on the lower E string - I'm not bothered; I put it back in and developed a method of pulling the string parallel to the body, which works fine.
Construction is fine - don't expect bone nuts and bridge saddles at this price.
It's very neat and tidy, rather attractive and I love the curve on the back.
I have an old Martin travel guitar - I never play it. This is so much better - it's a proper guitar, just a bit smaller and light weight.
For the price it's a bargain - it even comes with a neat little gig bag.
If you want a full blown acoustic, I'd recommend one of the custom line ones. But I have plenty of guitars and I can't resist this little beauty - it gets far more of my attention than the price would suggest.
You know you want one.

Astonishing instrument

fonderiefoniche.com, 22.02.2021

I've bought this guitar for my daughter, she was looking for a decent cheap instrument easy to be transported to/from school.
I play and buy guitars since more than 30 years, I've had guitars from several top brands over the years (Gibson, Fender, Blade, Parker, Maton, Seagull, Ovation, Yamaha...), I have to say this little piece of wood is really astonishing in terms of build quality, sound, finishings and playability. A really nice surprise. The tonal warmth of a full-mahogany construction effectively compensates the small dimensions and short scale, resulting in a balanced, full and smooth tone you would expect from a larger and higher-class instrument. I replaced very soon the strings with an Elixir set, that's a default on all my acoustic guitars, and it earned even more tonal pleasantness.
I did some trial studio recordings, just to test what is possible to get out from this "cheap" guitar, and the result was absolutely 1st class.
Finally, it comes with a decent soft case, and that's not foregone for the price.
I recommended this guitar to a couple of friends, for the same purpose, and they were fully satisfied too.
Considering the price, I see no cons at all.
If you still have doubts, just buy it and play it!

Harley Benton GS travel mahogany

Williep, 23.02.2021

I bought this guitar primarily for my three granddaughters to learn on. I am very impressed with it considering the modest purchase price. Everything about this instrument, action , tone and finish are excellent. It is small enough for a child but is not a toy, it's a quality guitar. My granddaughters are delighted. The efficienct delivery service provided by Thomann was first class.
