I bought two of these Thomann guitars for clients, which I fully paid.
This opinion therefore addresses these two guitars there, new!
Harley Benton is a registered Thomann. No indication of the place of manufacture, given the price I bet on China.

Technical
Dreadnought acoustic electric cutaway.
Key bridge and 22 frets rosewood .. Stained for the key, so much dirty, so steel wool, flaxseed oil and an hour of elbow grease!
Spruce using the form Thomann
Back & Sides: Catalpa.
They do not specify whether it is solid so for me it's against the plywood. Catalpa never heard of in passing ...
True for the plastic nut and ankles
Gold hardware (mechanical and button fastening belt)
The bridge has 2 round pearl that hides it a threaded rod that reinforces the bridge against the pull. The threaded rods in question far exceed the cash ...
Binding white, glossy black lacquer, rose just drawn.
Look very Gibson Les Paul Custom, who throws well out of the box ... Before a closer look!
The truss is mounted with a road set in the box so a dam is broken ... the hard it must be said!
Inside the box traces of glue are legion and no sanding obvious.
The binding does not cover the frets, it serves just to make nice (although it is not well adjusted at the nut) and to hide the feet of frets. No frets themselves beautifully sanded on the side and top: Traces in the direction of the strings, then grinding in the bends!
The "filetrerie" of the rose window, which is actually a drawing, on the back of the neck binding ... No comment.
The most annoying in fact it is mechanical. It would just loan agreement but then the tuning ... It turns nothing happens and suddenly bam note changes. It is not systematic but good running mechanics strange ... and I talk with new ropes and well mounted!
Note ... We have to do is the entry level at entry level! There are plenty of finish defects, cons-plated mechanical miserable ...
At the same time 88 euros!
UTILIZATION
Ergonomics is one of a dreadnought cutaway, neither more nor less
The handle is quite round but it's going.
Access to acute, it's still a sound so do not be afraid of the heel and sustain more than limited
The action is immediately set correctly on the two models tested, even it it could be better from the 12th fret
The rating is as good ergonomics is good!
SOUNDS
Honestly it sounds! Euhh for magic and personality you pass eh! But it sounds like what a guitar.
Mounted immediately in D'addario 10/47, I would not put a pull too hard because I did not know what to expect on the strength of the neck, these guitars are more for beginners c ' was not worth killing their fingers.
So obviously it's not a Martin or Gibson, but it sounds well, pretty balanced.
One of them has a big lack of finishing on the frets so that ca "squeegee" the bends.
I just checked the sensor on a Pignose not ideal for an electro. The preamp does work well is that the control of presence is rather inefficient ... Subtle tell us!
Note ... So obviously, given the price it deserves a high rating.
If we ignore this and can not judge the sound by ignoring the price it's going to be terrible!
OVERALL OPINION
Obviously the best thing about this guitar is its price: 88 euros for an honest acoustic electric! !
Then obviously the quality appears to be random, on two models tested, purchased the same day, one of them had more than the other default on the hoop and finish. The two have an identical design but a quality finish slightly different then.
The models tested were perfectly playable out of the box (apart from the tuning of course, not helped by the mechanics), no problem with the sleeve!
In short nothing to drip from the instrumental practice!
So it's a guitar that I recommend for beginners or more experienced guitarists looking for a cheap electro to travel, delirious, to girls around the campfire ... It can even be used to keep the fire of the grill though the plastic coating . Well ok there to keep the flame of your beautiful play by going to serenade the neighbors if you throw stuff it does not matter: only 88 euros.
