A successful hybrid

Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-15MCE, front view

What happens when the most popular acoustic guitar design of all time is combined with modern features that include a cutaway and a pickup? That's right: An instrument with an undeniable "must-have" appeal. And while some may still consider guitars with an elegant natural wood finish like that of the Harley Benton CLD-15MCE to be a little too far from the beaten path, mahogany is definitely "in", and it also has a lot to offer in terms of sound. In addition to the guitar, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag with external accessory pockets and backpack straps.

A sound that is 100% mahogany

Despite its dreadnought body shape, which places it in the world's most popular acoustic guitar category, the Harley Benton CLD-15MCE is not entirely mainstream, since it is constructed entirely from differend kinds of mahogany. It features a solid Gabon mahogany top on a sapele mahogany body. The cutaway also gives players unhindered access to the upper registers, while the onboard Fishman pickup system allows the sound of the guitar to be amplified to full effect. The neck - also made from Gabon mahogany - features a 20-fret pau ferro fingerboard with a nut width of 43mm (1.7"), all of which will ensure a comfortable playing feel. The guitar gig bag included in the bundle has sturdy backpack straps and allows the instrument to be stored and transported securely – whether you want to stow it among your other gear in the back of your car or maybe carry it on your bike. The accessory pockets also provide space for all manner of extra items, from tuition books through to tuners and spare strings.

Affordable without being cheap

In light of its highly affordable price, it would be only natural to assume that the Harley Benton CLD-15MCE is primarily aimed at beginners - but while those just starting out on the guitar will doubtless appreciate its amazing price-performance ratio, the combination of features on offer make this instrument an interesting proposition for more advanced players as well: The solid okoume top delivers a warm and dynamic tone, while the onboard pickup system also means that the stage is by no means out of bounds. At the same time, the comfortable slim-taper neck makes this guitar a great acoustic choice for electric guitarists.

Get away from the mainstream

The Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-15MCE takes the popular dreadnought design a step outside the mainstream, and thanks to its reddish-brown natural mahogany finish, this is definitely a guitar for those who want to stand out from the crowd and an immediate eyecatcher despite its understated looks. Beginners who know a stylish guitar when they see one will certainly be keen to pick up an instrument like this one, all the more so because its matt finish will help to conceal any scratches. On stage, the understatement will of course be purely visual, as the integrated Fishman pickup system and tuner mean that both a great sound and excellent reliability are ensured.
