A successful crossover

mahogany steel string guitar Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE is an auditorium guitar, a body shape that represents decades of tradition and was initially developed in the first third of the twentieth century. This tradition is combined here with modern features like a cutaway and a pickup. The result: A guitar that is comfortable to play, delivers a vivid sound and, above all, boasts an eye-catching natural wood finish. The latter is thanks to the fact that this guitar is made completely from different kinds of mahogany. All of this makes it the perfect choice for players looking for something special that still comes at a budget-friendly price. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag with external accessory pockets and backpack straps.

Mahogany for a precise, mid-rich sound

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE is constructed of sapele mahogany and also features a solid gabon mahogany top. Gabon mahogany, also known as okoumé, has been used here in order to ensure that the instrument conforms to the regulations of the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). The combination of this wood and a relatively shallow auditorium-style body gives the guitar a precise and balanced sound with excellent emphasis on the mid frequencies, which in turn allows it to cut through the mix effectively, while the cutaway gives the player access to the upper register without spraining their hand in the process. Finally, the on-board Fishman pickup system ensures that this impressive instrument can be amplified appropriately. The CLA-15MCE’s Gabon mahogany neck features a glued-on pau ferro fingerboard and a comfortably slim taper with a moderate nut width of 43mm. Together with the guitar’s smaller, lighter body shape, this means that it is not only ideal for musicians with smaller hands but also sits perfectly against the player’s body.

Great for all ages

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE offers guitarists unrivalled playing comfort, making it perfect for young beginners and adults with smaller hands. What is more, this guitar offers a generous wealth of features at a budget-friendly price. The CLA-15MCE thus also has a lot to offer more advanced performing musicians, and it can definitely hold its own against more expensive competitors. Guitarists who mainly play electric will also be particularly attracted by this guitar’s pickup system, shallow body, and slim neck profile. And as if that were not enough, the guitar’s output socket is located in the same position as that of a Les Paul, so electric players couldn’t feel more at home on an acoustic than here.

Perfect handling for the stage

As already mentioned, the CLA-15MCE is perfect for any on-stage performance, thanks in particular to its Fishman pickup system and built-in tuner, though of course it is already loud to begin with. With the guitar’s light weight and excellent playing comfort, even gigs that go on for several hours are no problem – and these same virtues also make it very easy to transport, so spontaneous chances to delight the audience around the campfire or on the street need never be missed.
