Harley Benton CLO-65SE NT

Fret work is great 9/10
only one minor (tiny) sharper edge but a file would fix this in a couple of passes. I've played way more expensive guitar with worst fret work

Sound 9/10
Sound beautiful to be honest. It's not a £5000 martin but it doesn't sound like it's a 100/150 guitar. The cedar solid top is perfect for my finger / travis picking. If you are more of Strumming chords folk then the other solid top would be better for you.

Setup 10/10:
This is my second HB guitar, i own many guitars and i can say without a doubt the setup on both of the instruments i have received have been faultless. The only guitar i have received with the same quality setup was one of my chapman ML series guitars .

Final statement:
Thomanns packaging 10/10
One of the best suppliers for packaging . you know they are taking care of their products ready for shipping.

Honestly, if you're in doubt and don't know what instrument to buy, this is an incredible option. If you're starting out and you're absolutely sure that an electro acoustic is what you want then you cannot go wrong here. Also want to not even experienced players could have a great instrument here. These cheaper guitars are not like they used to be, they are miles ahead from where they was.

Ich hatte keine zu hohen Erwartungen und wollte eigentlich zu einer Travelgitarre greifen. Diese sind von namenhaften Herstellern aber deutlich teurer und da ich primär Bassist bin, sollte es in erster Linie was für zu Hause sein. Was hier für 120 Euro geliefert wird ist klasse - und ich habe schon viele Akustikgitarren in über 30 Jahren gespielt. Das Instrument sieht klassisch-schick aus, ist einwandfrei verarbeitet und klingt auch unverstärkt überraschend laut und sauber. Dazu dann optional der verbaute Tonabnehmer inkl. Stimmgerät. Und das Wichtigste - ich nehme die HB CLO-65SE NT sehr gerne in die Hand, sie spielt sich schön und fühlt sich sehr gut an. Absolute Kaufempfehlung - nicht nur für Anfänger!
