A lot of fun for very little money
I can only review this with reference to the price - it's so cheap that it's impossible to say anything without adding "...for the money". With that said - it's a cracking little guitar that plays well enough and once the strings were stretched, has stayed fairly well in tune (for a nylon-strung guitar, that is). Construction is fine - actually, I can't find anything about it that is flawed. The neck is true, frets are absolutely fine and the tuners are smooth and up to the job. The pickup and preamp are better than I expected - it sounds like a classical guitar should (it doesn't get piezo zingy unless you set the treble stupidly high). I brought this because I didn't have a nylon strung and wanted one for occasional use when recording. Am really pleased with it - better than expected.

Fantastic classical guitar!
I have owned this guitar since late 2019, and it's held up fantastically.
First off I have to say I'm not an expert in classical guitars so I can't nitpick too much. To me however it sounds great, a nice full sound. Plugged in it can sound a bit thin however I find that most classical/acoustics I've played sound thinner when plugged in anyway.
The electrics are good although the display is a bit on the cheap side but I mean... It's a cheap guitar! It does the job and that's all I ask for.
The guitar looks fantastic, love the black finish and white binding. The binding came perfect on my guitar with no blemishes and all of the finish has held up nicely over the 3 years I've owned it.
Again I'm no classical expert but I bought this guitar to dabble in flamenco every now and then and it's been a fantastic tool for that, it's lovely to smash out a rumba on this thing.
Overall if you are after a budget electro-classical guitar I would 100% recommend this one. I've bought a number of Harley Bentons over the years (waiting for another to arrive right now) and I have no idea how they put out so many great guitars for the price!

owner's review.
this one followed me for a long time, on the streets.
it is a cheap instrument that get the job done.
for those who count on their skills, before counting on the material used.

Harley Benton... you've done it again :D
What's on offer here far outweighs the guitars diminutive price tag. It's first job was to play a rehearsal after a friend's guitar string broke en route. This instrument held its own when up against far louder and more expensive guitars. It's a testament to how the quality of cheap/budget guitars has improved since the 80's/90's, when you couldn't even change chord without the guitar going out of tune. There are some small issues with the finish (general untidiness in the finish - paint smudges on the binding) but really the negatives are few. I'd recommend it highly as a beginners guitar or for a first classical in your guitar collection (like me).

Excellent product
Sounds is clear. Add a bit of reverb and it's really good. At little too much mid, but can be fixed with the EQ. A few extremely minor visual flaws, but it looks really sharp. A high quality product, definitely the best value out there.

Great for this price
For this price tag, I couldn't ask for more: guitar that sounds and plays well. Certainly more than I expected. I have it for a few months now and I play it almost every day. It still amazes me how good it is. Today I ordered one for a friend. The only downside is very thin finish that got scratched almost immediately, so after only a few weeks it looked like it was played for years. That does not bother me at all, because guitar plays great, and, you can take it with you on a travel, to the beach, camping, anywhere, without fear of it being scratched.

beautiful sounds out of it
On the cheapest side of things, but not on the sound, just on the price. It sounds excellent for the money, warm and natural

Big quality for little money
Very good clear sound, a bit cheap on materials but, for the price you can't really complain.
It was well set up from the box, the strings will go out of tune quickly at first, but they will right themselves after a few uses

brilliant value classic electro-acoustic
Good build quality and finish and a strong acoustic tone.
quite powerful pre-amp sound good thought my 15w line6 amp
an excellent value classic electro-acoustic
Has a 54mm neck, so ideal for learning and folk with fat or injured fingers (like me)
