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.

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.

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
