This Harley Benton CLP 12SM BRS Solid Top guitar is only 2 months old and in mint condition. The tone is beautifully mellow sounding unplugged. When it’s plugged-in using the onboard EQ, it’s quite amazing actually… a deep, rich bass vintage tone and articulate clear mids and highs .
If you go to the Harley Benton website, there are audio samples there. These audio samples of it are very accurate representations. Click on the Drop D picking pickup sample. It sounds just like that.
The fit , finish and attention to detail are superb. Apparently, Harley Benton is a very well known Brand in Europe… not so much over here.
This is a quote from HarmonyVine.com
“It’s fair to say that every Harley Benton guitar, electric or acoustic, has an extremely favorable value for the money ratio.
This is the key point that’s making Harley Benton the king of value for money over every other brand out there.”
I had this guitar professionally set up and replaced the bone nut with a slightly wider spaced one to make it better for fingerstyle playing.
Comes with a well padded gig bag.
