Steel-String Guitar with Pickup
Gig Bag Jumbo
Guitar cable jack - angled jack
The Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN features a Jumbo-style body complete with a solid spruce top and an elegant high-gloss natural finish together with modern touches that include a cutaway and a pickup. This instrument combines classic looks with a sound that is even fuller than may be immediately apparent, thus giving players everything they have come to expect from a contemporary acoustic guitar. Gone are the days when a comparatively low purchase price and high-quality looks were incompatible, as the Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN capably demonstrates: With its walnut back and sides, mahogany neck, and attractively-grained ovangkol fingerboard, there can be no doubt that this guitar is designed to be an eyecatcher wherever it is played. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag (complete with external storage pockets and backpack straps) as well as a 3m instrument cable that will be long enough for home use without causing any of the tangles and chaos to which longer cables are prone.
The resonant spruce top of the Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN features advanced scalloped X-bracing, which comprises a cross-shaped system of wooden braces that have been planed into an arched shape, a technique that was developed to increase volume and add a fuller low-end response to the sound. The block fingerboard inlays and the soundhole rosette are made from a combination of mother-of-pearl and abalone that is also tastefully mirrored by the mother-of-pearl machine head buttons. In addition, the neck and body (both front and back) are adorned with white binding, which further enhances the guitar's classy looks and, since it is made from ABS, also provides increased resistance to shocks and scratches. Last but not least, the CLJ-503CE WN comes with a set of sealed machine heads that will ensure many years of maintenance-free operation.
Players making the transition from electric guitar should feel comfortable with the Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN straight away, particularly if they are used to playing ST-style models, since this acoustic also features the same 648mm (25.5") scale length and 43mm (1.7") nut width found on the latter. The onboard Fishman preamp system, which comes complete with an integrated tuner, also makes this instrument a good choice for guitarists who need the authentic steel-string guitar sound even in environments that require a little more volume. Lead players in turn will appreciate the guitar's generous cutaway, which provides unrestricted access to all 20 frets, and the CLJ-503CE WN's impressive price-performance ratio is completed by the Adamas-brand strings with which the guitar comes as standard.
Since 1998, the Harley Benton brand has been catering for the needs of numerous guitarists and bassists.

Whether it's an intimate jam around the campfire, a set of Rock classics, or a singer-songwriter performance, the Harley Benton CLJ-503CE WN is designed to deliver a comfortable playing feel and an impressive sound. The guitar is easily loud enough for practising unplugged, while its onboard preamp system means it can be played through an amplifier when gigging in smaller venues or even through a PA on larger stages, so there is no need for a microphone. The gig bag included here is the ideal accessory for storing and transporting the guitar safely, whether it's with other equipment in the back of a car or even by bicycle. Its external storage pockets in turn provide sufficient space for the included cable and all manner of other accessories, from music textbooks through to tuners and spare strings.
