Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE w/Bag

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE is an auditorium guitar, a body shape that represents decades of tradition and was initially developed in the first third of the twentieth century. This tradition is combined here with modern features like a cutaway and a pickup. The result: A guitar that is comfortable to play, delivers a vivid sound and, above all, boasts an eye-catching natural wood finish. The latter is thanks to the fact that this guitar is made completely from different kinds of mahogany. All of this makes it the perfect choice for players looking for something special that still comes at a budget-friendly price. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag with external accessory pockets and backpack straps.

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE is constructed of sapele mahogany and also features a solid gabon mahogany top. Gabon mahogany, also known as okoumé, has been used here in order to ensure that the instrument conforms to the regulations of the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). The combination of this wood and a relatively shallow auditorium-style body gives the guitar a precise and balanced sound with excellent emphasis on the mid frequencies, which in turn allows it to cut through the mix effectively, while the cutaway gives the player access to the upper register without spraining their hand in the process. Finally, the on-board Fishman pickup system ensures that this impressive instrument can be amplified appropriately. The CLA-15MCE’s Gabon mahogany neck features a glued-on pau ferro fingerboard and a comfortably slim taper with a moderate nut width of 43mm. Together with the guitar’s smaller, lighter body shape, this means that it is not only ideal for musicians with smaller hands but also sits perfectly against the player’s body.
