i bought this guitar mainly as a little experiment, Harley Benton have impressed me with their steel string acoustics and their electrics.
A friend bought one of the low level telecasters and i have to say the quality really (pleasantly) surprised me.
The way i saw it at the price the CG-400CE Thinline BK would either be a useful tool for my studio (NEMIX STUDIOS LTD) or a fun toy for myself at home, i am happy to inform you it has turned out to be both.
The onboard electronics are sharp, well fitted and easy to use, the tuner is fantastic, way better than i have ever seen on a 'cheaper' guitar and the wood work is perfectly adequate. I have tested it through several acoustic amplifiers and also my PA system and have had no issues achieving the sound i wanted.
The string spacing is perfect for beginners or perfect for an electric player who wishes to transition and it is very, very light.
It sounds great whether fingerpicked, flat picked or thumb picked and is the perfect affordable addition to your collection. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for , as i said, a useful tool or an enjoyable toy!
