All user reviews for the Harley Benton CG-45

Thomann guitar manufactured by (http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann.)
Mahogany laminated button?

UTILIZATION

I bought it for an extra guitar, I will not be afraid to carry around and risk damaging, given the price.

SOUNDS

I t surprised enjoyable because it sounds good (and still quite powerful despite a shallow box), except the low E string in the 2nd box (also on a control deuxime for a friend, but a change of a nut or filing of the corresponding freight should rgler this little problem). I play in standard tuning and open tuning (r mi ...) or is efficient enough that the action of the strings is not too low (but not too high not to play in standard tuning. ..).

In gnral, good balance, with low but not super powerful Submitted.

OVERALL OPINION

I find the handle trs enjoyable (satinn the rear) and j'tais his rception, blown away by the relative quality of the instrument price (currently 39 euro) .

Although sr, we must see how it will age and I am pessimistic on this point given the price of the instrument and matrial employees, but I do not much risk: at worst it will end on the wall for décor and waiting to have the budget for a martin ... it serves me well. I did not put a good 10 but 9 for the report quality price!

PS there are other models Harley Benton acoustic suprieurs with a price (60 euro, 100 euro, 150 ... but I did not try).

Satin finish, contreplaqubr />
The finish is honest for the price. 39 euros all the same! Is given

UTILIZATION

I use this guitar for non-standard tunings (open tunings and other tunings invented by panies such as Nick Drake and Mark Kozelek ...)
The handle is fairly comfortable but pais, playable on the other hand key! ale, a horror, I do not even know if it's wood ... try to bend the one above, ca sound as if the button was not smooth! Ramna sander Maurice!

SOUNDS

The sound card is pretty but not dsagrable, are very low as Submitted on many non-massive, the sound will seem like a draft or boiled in a strumming Enjou but remains coutable, fingers in the game is okay but it lacks some treble

OVERALL OPINION

For 39 euros, you can not do a lot better, bring the beach (watch the sun anyway), take the street, people will not tell you that your guitar is zero, a Guitar point bar! but it did nothing special ... My main motivation was tired Does the price and change tunings on one guitar, now I have two and it is less restrictive!

Instrument made in Eastern countries, I would go for China.
Made for Thomann, German store sales by VPC (https://www.thomann.de/). Sold € 39 or € 49 with a nice gigbag, practical and very well made (this is the option I chose).

Folk guitar, set neck, 21 frets. The body is in an unusual wood and is varnished in plastic. In short, the look is not her best asset. The key is a bit grainy, the bends a little squeak it. But at that price, you can not expect something non-standard!

But it has its charm, and it is fast: D

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable to play, the guitar is light, it handles well and is well balanced. No problem on that side.

SOUNDS

First note, and that the drama ... Sound a little deaf and cardboard ... Then it continues, one tames the beast and finally got used to it. It becomes even relatively pleasant. The sound is powerful for such a small object, and you play the more you love! Truly stunning!

But beware, the instrument is delivered without any adjustment, so small passage required by the box maker. By the way, enjoy up to "real" strings.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been 4 months now and I appreciate it more.

His distinctive sound is actually a plus for her, but be careful, do not expect a concert guitar. It is a great instrument to start (which was my case), and even more than excellent from your banker: D. It égalment accomplish its task if you are looking for an extra instrument special settings (as in previous opinions) or that you are tired to walk around with a piece of jewelry in the back on a Saturday night in a dodgy area. ..

I would do this choice without any hesitation.

Thomann Guitar Made in! (Thus German brand)
Type Apx

UTILIZATION

The handle is simple, I will not say nice because for 39 euros qd ... should not even ask for the moon! on the other hand I expected to receive a guitar slightly larger (like normal folk), and well ... it is smaller as my yamaha APX5 (between 3 / 4 and 4 / 4).

SOUNDS

With the strings of the background sound is not dégueux to play on the beach or around a campfire in the woods (for the price, we can not hesitate to use an umbrella).

OVERALL OPINION

I received it today so I can not give objective opinion ... but to say that the first impression is a good scratch (I repeat "value").
It sounds even worse than qd arts and violin entry level but ... for violin and arts, we bought 8 Hartley Benton.
So finally if you vs 39 euros to fuck up in a product that provides DARK!

Good for which patterns, read the other reviews, I would say the same thing anyway. Otherwise, the exterior finish is not too bad, right stick is stuck, and I had a large bead of glue sticking, but a tit stabbed and left. But note, you open your eyes, you look inside the Ciass, there was not the same, the wood is not sanded, and we realize that it was done was in a hurry.

UTILIZATION

It's not a bad guitar at all, it was well in hand, it is not heavy and relatively agréable.Mais good, the strings of bases is not too this, I suggest to change it. Otherwise, after the strings have been changed no problem, the sound is nickel.

SOUNDS

Question Assé sound is unexpected, there is no problem, it leaves a good sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I received it last week, jussqu'à now, I find it nice, I changed the strings right away, and I'm happy, the finish is not top of it and from there, but hey, considering the price, it's a great guitar

Probably made in Asia, given the price ...
On the vendor after it is mahogany, but hey it's pretty vague because the term is generic enough mahogany (it includes many exotic woods ...), it is a dark wood.
The finish is correct, the assemblies are well made and well put the frets (not polished), it is far from great: traces of school, painted with some "peaks" that drool on the fillets, blocks non answers. .. considering the price is normal. A good finish is expensive because it involves labor.
It was right when even a few refinements such as veneer of the table and the bottom rather symmetrical and pretty and a plating head match. A luxury for this price!
The lifts are atypical, open and mounted by three on a plate, grate the genre classic, but rather walk bien.Sur mine was the pick guard takes off so I settled because I think it's ugly assa, especially the one in shiny black plastic ...
I think the look nice, it a plain no-nonsense side that I like well.

UTILIZATION

It's fun to play an intrument. The handle is typically acoustic (it's a great big stick, what!) But pleasant, satin varnish helps to give a good feeling even if it is visually plastoc.La guitar is the original set, no curling! You just predict a small meeting at tunnig debalage as the key and the frets are finished raw peu.Un it hangs a little bit of sandpaper (400-600 grain things are going well) here and there and go . The benefit also to change the original strings are null and possibly touch up the frets (one could replace them but considering the price of the machine ...).
Ergonomic level it suitable for many because the body is shallow and small, its shape is a bit of a mix between a classical and a dreadnougth.

SOUNDS

Its level is rather etonant.Encore once the price is not complaining, it is the price the same surpris.Outre advantage of this instrument is its sound, it is special but not degueu.Les bass are shallow the midrange and treble rather dull brillants.Le overall sound is quite dry and brings out the metallic side of the strings is aun good sustain. The sound is powerful, bourrines not need to be heard!
It can accommodate the different styles.Je find it particularly good for blues or acoustic bass are not too invasive an asset, also for small quiet avect rhythmic patterns in small treble. For it is not against top for rhythmic exitées for when you buggers sound has a tendency to become rough.

OVERALL OPINION

I ordered this guitar out of curiosity to see what you get for that price 'telling me that if I'd eait good guitar for slide (open tunings). The conclusion is that it can hardly be better (even ocaze) but easily get worse, and a new skyscraper home.
It's a pretty nice guitar and original both in terms of look as the sonorité.Pour a ridiculous price was a real intrument that sounds and help. It is robust and compact so not ideal for lugging precious a right to left.
This is my instrument troisiemme HB and the finding does not change, the ratio Q / P is maximal.

SPECIFICATIONS for all t adj said.
For the rest: we must not forget that 39 Roros can not ask for the moon!
it's a nice guitar. the sound is powerful enough but a bit too metal, especially if you play mdiator, so it's better to play the finger and have the hand lgre. finishes are at the price.
The big advantage is that you can bring it in without fear of accessories well watered, she risks nothing and your wallet either (250 balls ...)
must be impractical to change the original strings (brake cables) unless you want to harden the fingertips.
I've had a year and I do not regret it. I would say that I ended up loving him (Of course, I prefried my Seagull)
This is the guitar for those who want to train idalie safe violin making and for those who do not want damaging their other guitars evening. Although RULES with ropes and ad hoc (the light of good quality), it is also a cheap gift for beginners, it will soon enjoy.

UTILIZATION

The use is quite steep but if you have mastered the other guitars you shall appear super easy

SOUNDS

Power for such a small size
a little (lot) too much metal
curling tendency easily despite rglages home, I can be not found the right strings?

OVERALL OPINION

I buy it back without problem.
It's still a guitar but a lot of 39 euros 100 euros or 150 models are no better even if they are (not always) better finished.
It goes everywhere and can have fun without charge and without risk.

Everything has been said, the finish is dirty Assé namely: a rough scratching at the reception, the trace of glue, and color difference more or less marked between the handle, body and head (and it depends on ca your chance!) etc ...
But as already said to 40E is normal limit (and who cares)!
On mine I see the day Traver of the box in places the wood is so late!
I would say to finish that level feature which most fishing is not very good mechanics but are they all the same job.

UTILIZATION

The strings are too high at the reception since the handle has not been settled, but thomann a kindness to send a key to that!
So the strings kidnap a 3 cents they put you is the tension bar to limit hobs and shall give you the best and it's all good!
If the handle is "basic" not great but if done quickly and there's no problem at this level has put the polish that seems "too slippery" in the beginning but it goes ...
I put 8 because after setting it worth to 40E compared to other basic scratch that costs 2 times more expensive, which may have a better finish but the same ease of play seen worst times (I think of dung infamous storm).

SOUNDS

As said above it sounds pretty good to see some of rockab blues', after it is less accurate for the ska, for example.
It has a good sound, sending it well for its wooden crates and ca petty cash!
And it is also simpa to play with tunings and bottlneck that go with, Asse aggressive and metallic "properly" (at least for my taste)

Same as previously for the note!

OVERALL OPINION

A true guitar for 40E, which sounds, which allows play without problem, in simple, unpretentious style. What more?

Very, very good investment I would advise those who want a scratching sound in their Piolle has busted and play instantly when the mood takes them, just for the fun of playing cheap on something that holds up!

acoustic guitar size 00, manufactured in China, wooden shaft.

UTILIZATION

Action is super high and difficult to play the guitar, even at high frequencies.

she goes out of tune all the time and not a little.

the guitar is very light (is it a quality?)

SOUNDS

the sound is very original metal (is it because the strings?) and does not please me too.
the worst is the key rough (or frets I do not know yet) that produces a horrible grinding noise every bend.d Besides, we can forget the bends.

OVERALL OPINION

I had one for 2 jours.avant Hohner HW300, which I paid three times and that was true of the triple (but it has not aged well).
what I like most about this guitar ... it's prix.ce I like least is the difficulty of play
but not all, the finish is absolutely disgusting: the wood is ugly and full of defects, sanding is approximate, the varnish is late, porous and flakes on the body cream edging and handle The rosette is a decal poor maladjusted, mechanics with golden floral and faux pearl is the very symbol of bad goût.il were even pieces of dried glue that used to hang around inside the fund.
mine keeps coming out of tune badly, perhaps because of the strings once again.

value for money is still intéressant.pour 3 times nothing, nothing was 3 times so you do not roll and this guitar has no fear and you can take it with you everywhere the spirit light (that why I've taken).

That said I do not advise a beginner, at the risk of disgust (game difficulty caused by the action of the strings, rough touch that makes everything bend inaudible detuning constant ...) this is not a guitar this.

I am not disappointed with the product, I was expecting it in this order (except the "rough bends") but ultimately I do not do it again this choix.avec few dollars more, you can take an input correct range of brand and be much more fun.
