Perfect beginner guitar!
I bought this guitar for my son and I couldn't believe the quality for the price. This is an entry level priced guitar so you're not going to get custom shop quality. It plays well, the action is nice, neck is comfortable and no roughly frets. Nice full sound and it even has a pickup....at this price????? I wish I had a guitar like this when I started ...would have saved myself a lot if pain 😀

Nice sounding guitar for few bucks, but...
This guitar sounds and looks really good considering the price. Even plugged-in it sounds really nice. All basic stuff is functioning and in this price range it deserves kudos. It remains to be seen how it will bear the test of time, but I guess it will be ok if you keep your expectations reasonable.
On the other hand, it is evident that corners were cut. Fretboard is pretty rough, frets have fitting marks here and there, strings squeak when tuning, etc...
Also, think twice before applying pickguards that come with it! I did, and when I wanted to replace it a week or two after purchase, it peeled away the decorative rosette around sound hole, to my astonishment. It went off so easy that it could be further peeled with just gentle rub of finger.
I wrote to Thomann and received reply that "pickguards are not meant to be removed from a guitar once applied" (?!) and the issue thus not covered by warranty. Go figure.

Sound and quality are great for the price…atleast overall. Fret ends are like surgeon blades and your hands will eventually bleed without polishing them, which seems mandatory action for this guitar

Perfect for a first acoustic guitar
This is my first Harley Benton instrument. I have to say I was a bit wary about the QC issues, but for the low price I decided to try anyway. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised! The guitar came with a pretty set-up, no body damage and perfect intonation. I kept trying to find flaws, but aside from one or two finish flaws of 1mm that I couldn't spot unless I was looking with a magnifier, everything was top notch.
The sound: very well-rounded, deep resonance (of course, this being my first acoustic, the bar is set low). Piezo sound is obviously not as good as higher-spec'd acoustic pickups, but it does the job.
Again, for this price, an absolute steal!

Good For the Price !
Very nice guitar ,
Sound is quite good , and price is very low !
the body is quite big , so this not allow very easy play ,
so it more good for person which has big hands and body.
the guitar feel overall good , and the sound is very nice and solid while strumming , less when trying to solo.
i have this guitar only 2 days , so as many as playing it , it should better as the Tree is open and then the sound get better.
over all:
i am happy with this , as the sound is good, and price was very low,
it is quality guitar , and will cost much more in other places.
better to try it b4 on store if possible , due to the size to match.

Great guitar for beginners who want to record their guitar as well!
I bought this guitar a few months ago and was blown away by how great it sounded and how nice and smooth it played. For the price you definitely can't complain, this is truly one of Harley Bentons best cheap guitars.
The pros are:
- Great sound
- Very comfortable playing
- Easy use of the pickup, the switches ,and the recordings sound good.
- Great tuning stability
- Very, very, very affordable and a great bang for your buck.
Cons:
- The nut broke when I was restringing the guitar.
- The strings break easily if you aren't careful with string sizes and action/tension.
In short: definitely buy if you are a beginner of if you are an experienced player who's not scared to make some adjustments or who's willing to have it set up by a professional.
I hope this review helped!

Wunderbar! Aber wieso wird...
...die Gitarre mit sie so einer dermaßen hohen Saitenlage ausgeliefert? Nachdem ich den Sattel um paar Millimeter abgeschliffen habe war das eine ganz neue Gitarre! Für den Preis der absolute Wahnsinn! Wer keine Markensau ist, wird hier definitiv glücklich werden. Klang, Handling und wenn man nicht ganz genau hinsieht ist auch die Verarbeitung absolut Top!

As Good As I Expected
At this price point you really cannot complain about this guitar. First I received it in less than a week. Incredible since I live in California. I plugged it in and tuned it up right out of the box. Not bad for a $71 guitar. There is some fret sprout; nothing I cannot fix. When I change the strings, I’ll take care of that, condition the fret board with some F One oil and polish the frets. I can recommend this guitar at this price point!!
