Customer reviews about Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany

HB

Incredibly good for this price, but still a cheap guitar

Harald Berings 11.06.2025

To be fair: this is almost too good for the price tag. A €100 guitar will rarely sound better.
That being said, the tuners are a nightmare; I had to tune between every song, so I’d recommend replacing them. The pickup system got loose after two weeks. It was taped to the inside of the guitar, which seems like a lazy cheap solution to be honest — how much can a few screws cost you extra? I didn’t bother fixing it, since I only use this as a campfire guitar and I have never plugged it in (so yeah, I should have just bought the non-electric version).

It's okay

Frankie B 04.01.2023

My guitar came in with rusty strings, action as high as snoop dog, and fretboard and body drier than the Sahara, not sure if I will keep it, I assume is a hit and miss with the affordable guitars from Harley Benton, overall you get what you pay for. I'm surprised it made it out of QC, the bridge and insides were insanely dirty, in the back lots of scratches, tuners don't stay in tune, from far it looks beautiful, from close not so much, the neck makes a cringing noise when attempting to tune. The gig bag and accessories are perfect.

It's a good size, light, not very loud, it really fits the purpose I got it for since I wanted a small guitar to keep for moving around to silent practice, just wished I had a premium version of it.

Love the sound and Preamp. Hate the Neck profile

Francisco Tarrega 02.08.2022

Excellent Tuners once tightened, nice preamp with more info on the tuner than Fishman. Ok sound -bright treble and less base due to dimensions. Couldn't get used to the V neck profile. Makes my hand hurt if prolonged bar-cords used. I will have to sand this myself. HB PLEASE make this guitar with a normal "C" neck profile

Poor quality

CouchPlayer 04.05.2020

I've bought this as a couch guitar and to some extent it has fulfilled this duty.
But after some time it started buzzing around 12th and 13th fret to the point that now those two frets are completely useless. I cannot tell if it's a high fret, neck, nut, or saddle problem. If I take it to a luthier he'll probably charge me more than the price of the guitar to fix it.

I guess it that was to be expected from such a low price?! Don't know, but now I only play until fret 11...

Good quality for the value

Olexa 13.07.2021

I'd bought GS-Travel-E as a change for Yamaha GL1. Good sound. Good playability. But my guitar just from the box had two issues. At first, deep scratch near a bridge. And, at second, the battery box is not closable when it contains a battery. I had used matches to fix it. It seems like as B-Stock guitar, but I paid full price. (( The next time I will never buy the cheapest guitar with electronic parts. And advice people who look a small guitar for traveling - don't pay for this and wait for GS-Travel

for this price it is ok. but when you look at it you think it was assembled quickly and hurriedly. also plastic keys are the least funny.

Good for the price but the action was a problem

Parth 01.04.2019

Almost after a month of usage, the action got disturbed and the 1st sting started touching the fretboard. I tried fixing it with the supplied Allen key but now the general tuning is compromised in the higher frets. The guitar is not sounding very good anymore. But overall a good copy of the original Taylor guitar.
