Harley Benton CG-400CE Thinline BK

Nagyszerű hangszer. Olyan amilyennek lennie kell. A hangszer kényelmes , magasabb fekvésben is jól játszható. A hangja akusztikusan is határozottan jó - rendes basszus hangokkal. Elektromos hangja is meggyőző, hamar lehet olyan hangot beállítani amit szeretnél.
Véleményem szerint ez egy nagyszerű gitár. A gyári beállítás sznekem 95% -os volt. Ez szintén rendben. A további 5 % a húrmagasság személyre szabása .
Én elektromos gitáron játszon nagyon rég óta és még nekem is jól használható.

Ami nem az igazi: a szine :) De ezért semennyi csillag levonás nem jár részemről. Azt gondoltam megfogok barátkozni vele. De nem.

Ez volt az első hangszer rendelésem, nem csak Thomanntól, hanem úgy alapjában véve. Féltem is hogy mit kapok ennyi pénzért. Nem kellett volna félnem.
A rendelés pár napon belül megérkezett.
Kibontottam és egy gyors hangolás után már tudtam is játszani.
Próbán a hangszedőket is kipróbáltam. Minden tökéletesen működik.
Ha negatívat kellene mondani, akkor csak annyi hogy a felső húrláb, nyereg, éles. De ez egy könnyen orvosolható probléma, meg ennyi pénzért nem problémázok ezen.
Ajánlom ezt a hangszert.

Is it the best nylon string guitar I've played? Nope. Probably not in the top 10 either. But wait, how much was it?
I wanted a nylon string acoustic and I didn't want to spend a lot, just to play around the house and for demos etc. Having had very positive experiences with other Harley Benton instruments I thought I'd try this: it has a built-in preamp with 3-band EQ, and a tuner, and I liked that it is slightly thinner body than normal. It didn't disappoint and I cannot put it down since I received it. Not sure what kind of woods are involved as everything is coated in black, and the fingerboard looks like some kind of synthetic material, but it feels good. The sound lacks the resonance of a good classical guitar (costing many hundreds more!) but it has a sweet sound. Yes, there are some little internal rattles, but very subtle and hard to notice when playing. The frets are well seated without sharp edges and plays beautifully. The preamp/piezo system is, as you'd expect, not top quality and it can sound a bit harsh when plugged in directly to a recording interface, but the built-in EQ helps sweeten it, and if you use an external decent preamp and a touch of reverb it can sound surprisingly good. I prefer to use a microphone for quick recordings as its natural sound is pretty nice, just lacking a bit of body, but with some minimal processing its built-in piezo system can give very nice results. Overall, I am very happy I bought it. If you want a serious classical instrument this is not it, but then you can't expect that for only 100 euros. If you just want a nylon string guitar that plays nicely amplified or not, I find it extremely good value.

I bought this guitar for two reasons: I wanted to get a comfortable classical style guitar and because it was really inexpensive.

First let's talk about the comfort. The neck feels roughly similar to other nylon's I've played and is shaped kind of similar to those too. It's comfortable to play on and the satin feel of it is nice. It's comfortable to play sitting on the couch, which is exactly what I wanted.

The "thinline" for this guitar is not very thin. It's about 8cm deep or maybe about 2/3 the size of other classical guitars I've played. It's noticeably less cumbersome than those, but don't expect it to be the size of a semihollow electric or a "hybrid" guitar.

On the value side the guitar is great. It does feel a bit like a plywood box, but all the parts look neat, there are no faults in the paint job, the builtin tuner is convenient and easy to read, and it even comes with set of Hannabach strings. The string alone cost around 15€ so as a value proposition it's a great package.

The one part that is not so great is the tuners. While they do hold tune and work properly they feel a janky and one of them makes weird noises when tuning.

The sound of the guitar is... Not amazing but not terrible. I'm guessing the undersized sound box is not doing it any favors. I do like the sound but compared to even my inexpensive Alhambra it doesn't have much depth. The volume it puts out is low, which is either a downside or an upside depending on the situation. At home you can play without bothering your neighbors or family, but even at a children's guitar recital something else would be better.

I didn't really care about the built in pickup on this guitar, but for what it's worth it seems fine. I got a lot of string noise while testing it, but it worked well and it didn't seem to have any hum issues. It's there and it gives you some options to play around.

It's a nice guitar. Not quite a replacement for a good classical guitar, but as long as that isn't the expectation, you will likely like it.
