Solid wood - solid sound

If there is one phrase that is sure to get acoustic guitarists’ attention, then it has to be “all-solid” – after all, guitars made completely from solid wood are synonymous with a lively, characterful tone. The downside, however, is that such guitars usually come with an equally luxurious price tag as well. With the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood, however, Harley Benton is now proving that this doesn’t have to be the case. This dreadnought features a top made from solid Grade A American cedar, while its back and sides are made from solid Gabon mahogany, which is also called okoume. What is more, the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood also features a Fishman Sonicore/Presys-II pickup system complete with an integrated chromatic tuner, while a set of Grover machine heads as well as a GraphTech TUSQ nut and bridge saddle further enhance the guitar's already impressive range of features.

Equipped for full control
The dreadnought, which is one of the largest acoustic guitar shapes, has gained immense popularity for its sound, and Harley Benton has used this design as the template for the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood. The guitar's solid American cedar top features scalloped X-bracing and gives it a bright-sounding tone and a very direct attack, while the solid Gabon mahogany body provides a crisp and controlled response. This combination results in a very well balanced overall sound that is particularly suitable for strumming, though single-note picking and melodies will also shine with plenty of presence and sustain. What is more, the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood comes strung with a set of high-quality D'Addario strings, and its outstanding sound can be reproduced with complete authenticity through an amplifier or PA system thanks to the Fishman pickup system.

Sturdy build quality, outstanding sound
The Harley Benton CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood is clearly an instrument for musicians of all levels who want to get the most out of every note they play. It is designed to cut through in the mix and provide excellent dynamics - particularly when amplified via the onboard pickup system. The guitar's okoume neck - complete with a 20-fret pau ferro fingerboard - is slightly wider than usual with a nut width of 44.5mm (1.75") and thus provides comfortable string spacing for more sophisticated playing techniques. And while the price may have been rolled back, no compromise has been made in terms of quality, so all fans of the classic dreadnought design should take a closer look at the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood.

The audience is listening
Thanks to its solid-wood construction, the Harley Benton CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood will always provide plenty of volume, even in smaller setups without a microphone or amplifier, which makes it perfect for musical styles that require a full-sounding acoustic rhythm accompaniment, whether it's around the campfire or busking in the street.
