Excellent value!
Thumb 26.01.2022
I had high hopes for this guitar and it really delivered. Really good fretwork which only needed a little polishing - no uneven frets or sharp fret edges. The bone nut was almost perfectly cut and had comfortable, rounded edges. The saddle was perhaps a little rough feeling but the compensation was correct and the height was good - with room to lower the action if one would want.
With a neck relief of about 0.010 inches and an action at the 12th fret at about 3/32" (E) and 5/64 (e) the playability was really nice.
Soundwise it's a little early to tell, since it will develop/mature in the coming months but, out of the box, it has a nice, earthy tone without sharp trebles (which I'm a little sensitive to).
The tuners feels surprisingly solid and turns smoothly. I was thinking of replacing them at first sight but, at present, time I feel no need to.

This guitar stands up nicely to other acoustics I have owned over the years (Yamaha FG800, Yamaha LL16M, Taylor 114e, Eastman E1D). Apart from maybe a little crude/rough edges at the end of the fretboard and bridge pins that sits too low (and therefor are almost impossible to remove when changing strings), this guitar competes way above it's pricerange, I think.

If it will hold up and stay structurally intact over the years to come - I will consider this to be the best guitar buy I have made, yet.

Great guitar
mike stormchaser 19.08.2020
I bought this during an isolation period away from home and away from my Martins. After receiving and playing this baby I will say this: while I love my Martins, those are 20 times more expensive than this HB and now I cannot say that they are 20 times better than the HB. Or 20 times longer sustain, or 20 times higher quality materials.

The law of diminishing returns applies clearly here, showing that value is subjective. The fact that I am comparing a Harley Benton against a Martin should say a lot. The CLA-16S is a great guitar that gives you A LOT for a modest price. It looks great, it sounds great, it's built well and more than affordable and suitable for any guitarist, from beginner to advanced.

I think that for this price, you get a lot of features found on higher grade guitar: solid spruce top, scalloped X bracing, bone nut and saddle, a good fretboard and bridge. I know Pau Ferro isn't technically in the rosewood family and it gets a bad rap, but it is still a good tonewood for a fretboard and more affordable. Let's not forget that even Fender and Gibson Custom Shops use it on expensive models.

All in all, I was amazed at the build quality and playability and I bonded with it instantly, becoming one of my favorites.

Kudos to Harley Benton and cheers to Thomann for a great guitar!

Absolutely love this guitar
Tips 14.07.2019
The last couple of years I tried a lot of different acoustic guitars, but I never really fell in love with one. There Always seemed to be something missing on all of them (epihone/Sigma).
Kind of lost hope in finding a good fun acoustic guitar. After hearing a lot of good talk about the Harley Bentons I thought, what the hell, let's try one. And A
am I glad I did.
The guitar sounds really good. Very powerfull on single notes with the convenience of a smaller body than a dreadnought.
Was it perfect on arrival? No, Action was way too high at the 12th fret. But because it was so cheap, I decided to lower the action on an acoustic guitar for the first time by myself. And now it plays like a dream.
Is it better than a Martin: Probably not, but I played acoustics that were 3 times as expensive as this one that didn't sound half as good.
It is a no brainer. Just go for it.

An amazing guitar for an amazing price
panos907 18.11.2019
I have been playing guitar (acoustic , electric and classical) for about 3 years in total. I bought this guitar to try acoustic fingerstyle in the style of Tommy Emmanuel.

Arrival:
The guitar arrived perfectly protected in it's box, with no damage whatsoever.

Setup:
It was flawlessly setup out of the box, with low string action, intonated properly, no buzzing frets or fret sprout, and no truss rod adjustment needed. The nut was cut really well with no buzzing or bad height.

Playability:
It plays really easily all throughout the neck, has a great neck profile and radius (reminds me of a Fender Stratocaster neck). All the chords and picking i did on it rang out greatly and flawlessly, and barre chords have never been easier to play all over the neck.

Sound:
It sounds much better than the sound clips on the site , to be honest. A balanced sound (as you would expect from an OOO) with all frequencies present as should , it is great for fingerpicking, but still not bad at all for strumming. Also, every hammer on/pull off and similar effects ring out with great resonance. At first, i thought i was hearing a much more expensive guitar, reminded me of some much more expensive ones like the Martin 15M.

Cons:
It arrived with some small cosmetic flaws. Some tiny bits of glue left over where the neck meets the body (i already took them off with a toothpick) and a small ding in the back , in that same spot.

Overall, a great guitar. Not just "for the money" . A great guitar all around. Highly recommended to beginners and advanced alike.
