Great guitar with a solid wood top
Lacman 10.07.2021
The guitar is of excellent quality with excellent sound, both acoustic and sounded. The neck is a bit thicker, but to me it is perfect as with more expensive Takamine guitars plus well-done frets. The setup was already done so I didn't have to adjust anything.
Preamp with integrated tuner is a special story because the tuner works perfectly and has everything you need for a live gig.

Pros:
Great guitar, sound and no flaws, great neck, fretsand machine heads, the workmanship and the preamp works perfectly, plus the battery is on the bottom of the guitar so if it leaks by any chance it won't damage the electronics.
Cons:
nothing for now.

For this money you can't find a better guitar, my sincere recommendation.

Big Sound

This guitar is a beast. Will need to get a proper set up done after being shipped over seas (as expected). So look to spend an extra $100 but it is well worth the effort and price. The frets needed dressing and I installed a bone nut/saddle to replace the plastic and it sounds/plays like a dream. Other than the frets, the build quality is perfect. Still amazes me that they can sell these guitars at this price!

Just got my Harley Benton CLD-60SCE and honestly, it's a steal for the price. Solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides—classic combo for a warm yet articulate tone. Ang ganda ng resonance, tapos balanced yung tunog, hindi manipis pero hindi rin overpowering yung bass. Perfect for both fingerpicking and strumming.

The cutaway makes upper fret access easy, and the built-in preamp/tuner is a nice bonus. Plugged-in, it sounds decent—hindi naman high-end electronics, pero for the price, more than good enough. Setup out of the box is surprisingly playable, though a little tweak sa action might make it even better.

For what it costs, sobrang sulit. Quality build, great tone, and gig-ready without burning a hole in your wallet. Solid choice whether you're just starting out or looking for a reliable backup guitar.

Also shipping took only more or less 10 days considering the fact that it was shipped here in Saudi Arabia. Great job, Thomann. Will most likely order new gears in the near future.

Amazing but with some flaws
NoNaMe... 17.09.2025
After 25+ years playing electric guitar and bass I bought this as my first acoustic guitar. I chose this model over the cheaper one for the solid top. The guitar arrived well packed and I have only good things to say about customer service. Going back to the guitar, the tuner keys feel OK, the preamp has a build in tuner which is pretty accurate, the fret board and bridge needed some oil as the wood felt too dry, the frets were dull and needed polish but the worst of all was that the 12th fret was not seated properly. Instead of returning the guitar I took it to a luthier friend, he replaced the 12th fret, polished the rest and also replaced the plastic nut and bridge with Graph Tech, he finally inspected the guitar in general and was amazed too by the overall construction and quality of the guitar for the price. Do not forget, it's an 145 euro guitar, even with the time and money I spend to fix the flaws, it still beats guitars 3+ times the price. The guitar is beautiful, sounds amazing, feels nice to play, stays in tune and surely is a keeper.

Great Build, but lacking in proper setup
Custom Guitar Picks 05.09.2020
Great Bang for your buck guitar, but if you know nothing about how to setup a guitar, maybe look elsewhere, My Harley Benton Custom Line was in desperate need of some TLC, and now that i have spent some time oiling neck, dressing frets and doing a proper set up she is good to go, and is definitly worth what it $$ me just some info for other customers, MY history is 40 years on guitar and always working on them, so maybe a beginner might not notice the things i did

Cant complain with a single word
Raj_ 28.01.2025
This guitar was a staight bang on! I had no regrets even before purchasing as the reviews were really promissing and even after it reached my place! the instrument is wrothy enough to make you fall for it. the wood is great and there is close to zero compromise in the build quality compared with the guitars at this price point. Despite of a bad weather, the action is great. The in-built pick up and tuner works fine. Overall I can say this guitar is a worth buy

Guitar quality is average
Shark-Man-1981 12.01.2021
Use - for home.
The sound for the price category is good.
The overall quality of the guitar is not very good. The neck of the guitar had a hump at the point of attachment to the body. The master corrected this flaw. But it was frustrating to get such a tool with a problematic neck. There were defects in the neck attachment - a small crack from the resonator to the neck.
The neck is not comfortable - too thick, the YAMAHA 310 is more comfortable, but this is a matter of taste. The pream and tuner are normal. The tuners are weak.
General conclusion: 1. Price - quality 3/5, 2. Price - Sound 4/5. Better to find something more expensive. Don't look for a guitar that is too cheap and hopes for a good quality ... I'm a little disappointed with the acoustic guitars from Harley Banton. This is the third guitar of this company. Before that, there were good guitars, but they cost more.

Good value solid top guitar
HarleyBoi 30.05.2021
I own this guitar for about a year and I think that for this price and with solid top, it is a good deal.
PROS:
- sound
- loud
- stays in tune
- looks
- built in tuner (works really well for me)
CONS:
- low quality saddle (had to change)
- frets needed a little polishing
- little thicker neck (subjective)
- overall setup was not that good (playable, but weak)
- loud

Generally, I think if you are not affraid to try to do setup on your own and learn few things along the way, this guitar can be great.

The Golden Mean
Dmitriy_001 29.10.2022
I liked the tool.
Good price-to-quality ratio of workmanship and materials.
In appearance, the guitar looks more expensive than its price.
The acoustic sound is quite decent, dense with a predominant "bottom" and "middle", but nevertheless this guitar is far from being rated "excellent" or "Wow super!".

Conclusion: this is a great option for you if you don't want to spend a lot of money on the instrument, but you want it to look beautiful and sound good if you play at home, with friends or on the street
