Harley Benton EAX-500TL Black

This guitar is structurally well made and has a playing action better (lower) than many ¤500+ guitars I've seen. It's one let down is that there are imperfections in the body paintwork. If it was a ¤500 guitar I would request a replacement, but for ¤129 I can live with it.

The thinline body is ideal if you're a relatively small person or are more used to holding an electric guitar. The guitar sounds good unplugged without having carried out any direct comparisons. I have yet to try it amplified.

All together, an excellent choice for a first guitar or a spare guitar for a more experienced guitarist for part-time use away from home (as in my case).
