Decent looks, tremendous sound
Guitarist at heart 16.01.2025
It looks neat. As others mentioned, the sides and back are porous. But I can hardly see it from 1-2m away
Playability is good. The bridge might need sanding down a bit for a comfortable action. The pins are nice, and the tuner seems to be good quality with a nice ratio as well.
The sound is incredible for a guitar at this price range. It has sustain for days and an incredible volume. It rings out with clarity and you can hear a wide spectrum of frequencies. I haven't changed the strings yet, and I'm guessing the sound will improve even more once the stock strings have been swapped out. Overall, it's a wonderful instrument that is hard to put down once you start playing.
It's not a high-end killer, but it competes against all other guitars below the high-end category. A sub-350 euro all-solid guitar with this level of craftsmanship should be a no-brainer.

Is there a better acoustic for this price?
Marv1n 01.02.2025
As some other have mentioned, some of the wood is kind of porous, but it doesn't detract for me. I love the look of this guitar.
It arrived well set up but buzzy, nothing a slight rod adjustment didn't fix.
The guitar itself sounds fantastic in my opinion, not the loudest, but everything is there from low to high, and it's extremely comfortable to play thanks to the neck shape and the armrest notch.
It's my first Harley Benton and just couldn't resist an all solid guitar at this price. And I'm a little blown away to be honest.
I fitted a journytek passive pickup and it sounds fantastic through my PA.
Again, at this price point it's amazing value, I don't think there's better for €300

I would love to rate this guitar, however even though I ordered it on 28th December last, and it is now 19th January, and I'm in Ireland where the post normally tales 3- 4 days, I still have not received this guitar.
