Customer reviews about Harley Benton CG-45E Natural

A great value!

MK1010 28.02.2022

Having played electric exclusively, I wanted a smaller acoustic to play around with at home. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and sound of this inexpensive guitar. It projects very well for a smaller acoustic. I wish the action was a bit lower out of the box, but this was a great find - highly recommended!

Frets very bite

Valeriy Faustov 17.03.2021

The build is very average, the frets bite the hands a lot. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the tree is not dry enough. and later dries up

Perfect for amateurs

Excraptor 02.11.2021

The sound is incredible, and the guitar is very lightweight. Easy to play. The preamp is a bit clunky and has a bit of a cheap feeling, but for this cost, I didn't expect more.

Decent Guitar For Price

j.macc 09.10.2022

A very cheap and cheerful budget guitar that will most likely need a set up factored into it's selling price. The sound is not particularly to my liking and I feel the nut slots need attention.An ideal campfire guitar.

Much better than the price would have you expect.

graymac 30.12.2024

I wanted a mahogany body guitar and this ticked all the boxes. (I got it to replace a HB "Taylor mini" type, short scale length didn't suit me) Obviously I wasn't expecting a Martin or Taylor quality for €89 yet this is a surprisingly good guitar and needs very little work to bring it up to a high standard. Maybe a bit of fret smoothing - edges were a tiny bit rougher than my more expensive HBs, though not desperately so. Sound is about right, bearing in mind its a smaller body than a dreadnought. Tuners seem to work fine, it stays in tune well, action not bad, pre-amp useful - looks the same as on many of the other HB models.
I wish I'd had one as good as this when I first picked up a guitar (a fair few years ago now).

Good for the price but very plastic-like woods

CoolBoarder 26.02.2023

The quality of the wood and parts is not too good. Apart from that it sounds nice. The feeling is mediocre but it is a cheap guitar after all. For its price is good generally, especially the sound. I would rate the parts like this:

Fretboard: 6/10
Wood quality: 4/10
Bridge: 8/10
Keys: 7/10
Electroacoustic Device: 9/10
Sound: 10/10
Design: 9/10
Holding Feeling: 7/10
Playing Feeling: 7/10
Overall: 8/10

Very good sound, less good quality control.

DominikaCh 24.07.2025

The guitar sounds amazing, even with the strings it comes with.
Unfortunately there's a Crack on the first fret and some other imperfections, the fretboard and saddle is dry so it's good to oil it a bit. I decided to not return the guitar because those imperfections do not, in any way, affect the overall usage.
But it's good to know if someone doesn't want those imperfections, even if it's a cheap guitar.
