Harley Benton Nashville Nylon Plus Black

Whilst this guitar is well made and beautiful to look at, it doesn't work for me as a daily guitar because it is totally unbalanced in terms of it's weight distribution. It's really head heavy. The headstock wants to hit the floor and the body doesn't stay in a playable position.

It's got its good points - the slimline body, full access right up the neck that electric guitarists will love but combined with the silky smoothness of nylon strings, which gives it a dreamy sound and opens up a whole new palette of possibilities.

The only ways I can think of to deal with the head heaviness would be to clip the body end of the strap to your belt or use a weighted strap with about a half kilo of lead sown in at the lower bout end.

Really the company should issue a factory recall and add a lead lining to the bottom of the lower bout.

It's definitely going on eBay sometime soon (not gonna say any of that in the advert though).
