Harley Benton CG200CE-BK

I bought this needing a simple sofa-guitar so I did not expect much, however there is not much value in this.

The tuners are terrible and feel rusted shut, the finish is decent but look a bit cheep. The fret-inlays are not filed down and some are sharp enough to cause lacerations and the pickuo is useless.

The only mediating factor is that it is OK to play on. Fixing the bad part of it might make it an ok practice-guitar for a kid.

There are a range of great Harley Bentons out there but this sadly is not one of them...

everything was ok with the guitar untill i had to change the strings, machine head poped up while tuning it. I have ordered replacement parts but dissapointed of the poor quality(even for a cheap guitar).

Might be good for beginners. But beyond that, not a good guitar: bad quality, bad sound, unpleasant to play. But then again, for that price, one cannot ask for miracles either.

This guitar feels cheap because it is. The tuners are not good, neither are the strings that come with the guitar. It sounds even worse when connected to speakers or an amplifier. It's good to have at home and to mess around with, but it's better to save a bit of money and get some of the other Harley Bentons that are produced.

I ordered some of these for my students (beginners under 12). Although the quality was poor with bracing and various other parts falling off, the playability was good and for the price a good all round beginners guitar.
