Great guitar with a solid wood top
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.

Cant complain with a single word
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

Great guitar for the money
First impressions of this guitar were that it's stunning.
Second impressions were... that it's still stunning!!
The finish, binding, frets etc are excellent and flawless. Sound is lovely, rich and warm.
Set up is very good (neck relief is spot on) but the action is a little high for me - nothing that can't be fixed though. All in all, I'm really pleased with this guitar and will almost certainly buy another HB.

Great guitar
I am by no means a guitar expert, but I am extremely impressed with the sound and feel of this guitar. It feels great to play (it was also set up out of the box, action was perfect and the fret ends were smooth) and sounds very full as well. Extreme bargain paying 110 bucks for this with ~30 shipping. Great acoustic guitar.

Great value solid top acoustic
I owned the non cutaway version of this in the past, and prefer this shape. The inbuilt tuner and pickup is handy.
Cosmetics were 100% couldn't find any flaws
Tunes easily, the tuners are a little jumpy and stiff, may change eventually
Will bring to my guitar tech for a setup and add more after he's had a chance to look it over.
Overall for the price (129 euro-June 2024) this is unbeatable, quality and playability
Update: I've had the guitar set up by my guitar tech. It needed very little, some filing of nut slots, truss rod adjustment and he sanded a little off the saddle and now the action is nice and low and the guitar plays very well. He makes acoustic guitars and was very impressed with this one, he even liked the pickup sounds. I couldn't be happier with this guitar for 129 + 30 euro (setup) I have a great looking and playing acoustic

Great guitar for beginners
I bought this as my first guitar to learn and its honestly an amazing value. I love the built-in tuner and electronics. Once tuned, the guitar sounds good as far as I could tell.
Quality wise, everything looks good.
At this price point, there probably is not a lot I can point at.
