It's a great deal. That's real solid rosewood back and sides. Solid spruce top. Cheap price and good quality. It would sound great in the hands of a good acoustic guitarist.
How deep is it in millimeters? Classical OMs and 000 are the same size and quite thin on the side profile. This looks almost as thick as a dreadnaught? I like the thinner size and this doesnt look like it, bummer
Thanks for the review, Henning! I am looking forward ti the other reviews of the new acoustics. I want to buy my first acousitc next year. I guess Harley Benton is definitely in the game.
Irre, was da preislich heute so geht. Ich habe als Jugendliche in einem Gitarrenladen gejobbt (Ende der 80er/ Anfang der 90er Jahre), und da waren solche Preise für diese Qualität gar nicht denkbar. Danke für das Video!
I, for one, love acoustic guitars! I also think every electric player should have at least one or two acoustics. It would change the way they play, write, etc. there’s no better joy than grabbing a guitar off a stand and just getting right to the playing instead of having to first plug in and setup. Also, the best metal and rock players have historically all said they play and write on acoustics - and every rocker and metal head needs an epic acoustic ballad or two in their repertoire! Electric players need to learn to appreciate an acoustic guitar and how to set them up and choose them for great playability. That said, I’m glad to see a new HB acoustic guitar here and that you’ll show another one soon! All wood guitar with a comfort arm bevel for such a low price?! And it sounds nice?! That’s crazy speak, and I’m here for it! 🤘🏻🎸😎
Thank you for this review as well! Another interesting & nice sounding instrument. 👍 Though I still have hopes, Thomann would release the upgraded version/successor of the beauty CLC-650SM-CE VS! Design-wise that was their best acoustic guitar even until now. ☺
Thank you for making this video. When we do my financials this year with tax man and my wife gasps at what I have shelled out i can say, “look at this video that’s equal to 5 of these microphones”😂
what a damn nice T-Shirt!!!! loving it...just a little confused that Winni has more Hair then Henning...my thought was that they both always went to the same barbershop 😉
Totally agree! I want to come and see that! But for the money, great deal! I just want to put my hands on one of those Benton acoustic! Cheers from Finland ✨
I know you are planning that right? Comparing this video against the nat, which is not solid, it seems the nat sounds thinner or more trebble in it or something. But might be my ears
Belle guitare et beau son ! Mais pourquoi une largeur de sillet de 43 mm sur cette guitare "destinée" largement au finger picking ? Le manche de la CLA 28VE WN fait 45 mm est mieux adapté à cette discipline, c'est dommage, sur cette nouvelle guitare toute massive, ça aurait été le top ! J'hésite du coup entre celle là, du fait qu'elle est toute massive, la CLA 28VE WN, et la CLG 48 CE Wide, au manche de 48 mm au sillet, mieux adapté au finger style...Si quelqu'un a un avis sur la question, merci d'avance. Cordialement.
Hey, I really love the matt black finish❤! But i wonder how is this compared to the hb cla 15m strumming wise. Would it be an upgrade? or same same ...but different
I think some people have something wrong with their ears. This guitar sounds like a $1200-1500 instrument. Looks great too. Put a Baggs Anthem SL in it and you’ll be good to go
Sweatiness (skin conductivity) is a characteristic used in lie-detectors/polygraphs (scientifically poor evidence, but Americans love it). I would like to see polygraphs used in youtube reviews 🤣
I am surprised with those specs it doesn`t sound that great. Kind of brilliant tone ( in Taylor-wise). It lacks warm to my ears. Very metallic and not woody. The price is great for the specs buy the sound.....I don`t know.
Spuce and Rosewood it will take time to mature and get "woody" tone. If you want a guitar that sound mature since you bring it out of the box you should go for Cedar top on Mahogany.
It looks absolutely beautiful. But it sounds quite bad to be honest. Not sure how much of that is the guitar or the recording. The audio is way over compressed though.
For an acoustic guitar review, I do think so. But it’s your review so you you compress it as you please ☺️ However the most disturbing thing to me is that the stereo image is messed up. I get seasick listening to this on headphones. Was L/R unlinked on the compressor or something? Just curious. Beautiful mic by the way! It’s been on my wish list for years.
@@MashaT22It’s not codec compression. 😄 The microphone audio is heavily compressed, and it’s pumping and messing with the stereo image. It has nothing to do with UA-cam.
My 2 cents as a customer. Thomann has one of the best customer service I've ever dealt with! I recently bought a quite expensive Guild acoustic guitar, shipped for fre overseas in the UK, I had the chance to give the guitar the time to assess and after playing it dor 30 days, since I did not fall in love with it, I request the return. I just wrote an email and they arranged the return and the courier to collect it for free. In less than 15 days I had my money back. If you buy in a phisical shop, you would never had the chance to try the instrument at home with all your stuff and having 30 days to try it. Also had an issue in the past with an electric Harley Benton CST-24T, for an almost invisible little scratch on the back of the neck, arrange the return and have the guitar replaced for free was a breeze. Sometimes they just take a couple of days to respond the emails, but at the end the service os flawless.
Ja klar ... Du kannst gar nicht Gitarre spielen ... :-)))) The color is cool. It's stealth black. So that confuses the aliens, they will not find that guitar.
FANTASTIC sound.
It's a great deal. That's real solid rosewood back and sides. Solid spruce top. Cheap price and good quality. It would sound great in the hands of a good acoustic guitarist.
GOOD guitar for that price for solid top, back & sides!
Sounds very nice!
As someone who majored in Horticulture. I love all the Botanical information. It was a nice touch!
Really nice recorded tone, very nice. Thank you!
These look amazing for the price, kinda crazy compared to 10 years ago

Nice wood box you have there. Does it Djent?
That's a beautiful guitar actually, and sounds pretty good!
Straight outta Low Cash!!! CB4 ✊🏽
9:31 Juan who?

Thanks, great review! I may have missed it on their site. will they have a version of this with a Fishman pickup (or other)? Cheers from Texas.

Looks like a very good instrument for that money. Sounds fantastic too.
Well thats a beauty! The guitar of course 😅😂 sorry Henning! I have the CLD15 and its amazing. Shure this one is a few steps above.
Like the sound cool 😎 look
Awesome
please compare the solid body versus non solid body. Can you hear the difference or is solid body just a waste of 100 bucks?
Good question
Totally agree!
I want to come and see that! But for the money, great deal!
I just want to put my hands on one of those Benton acoustic!
Cheers from Finland ✨

43mm nut width ? I am out. I hope for a WideNeck version
Time to revisit a campfire event? Sounds nice. Reminds me of my Baton Rouge Parlor.
5 minutes into the video and I know exactly why I never going to buy a matte black guitars! lol
Fingerprints everywheeeeere!
Try GLOSS black...
@@LegsON they don't do one. Just buy the natural one
@@thewonderofyou1 I'm joking about any gloss black guitars.
@@LegsONok. It was obvious. I've seen other bad acoustics that have crap black gloss.
Very nice guitar. I kinda want one, but i have no clue which one there are so many choices.
Harley Benton CLO-70ASR NAT all solid.
This is that version
Is this James LaBrie singing when you're unboxing?
yes
Kudos for Satriani on acoustic 🎉
I'd like to hear an accomplished acoustic guitarist play this 🤣
And without a hard pick.
Acoustics should be gently played not bashed
Thanks for the review!! How's the weight? Is it nice to pickup or heavy as a rock?
On first look it could really be an acoustic I like. But the black top is not for me. Incredible stats for the price. How do they do it?
Dude, Merry Fuckin Christmas

Je me disais exactement la même chose!
Pour moi c’est bien car mes doigts sont cours 😂😂😂
Try this one. I tested a CLA 28 VE and the sound was thin. Very little bass. And it had a very bad glue smell. :)
Hey, I really love the matt black finish❤! But i wonder how is this compared to the hb cla 15m strumming wise. Would it be an upgrade? or same same ...but different
Spruce/Rosewood will be very different
@Doggepe yes....just got my Yamaha fs 830 . Spruce/ rosewood. She sounds amazing
@@spacelord2234 Yamaha great value, this is all solid. FS 830 laminate back and side.
@@VictorEkholmyou re right. I have several hb guitars. They re all perfect set up and great quality. But I love my fs 830 already. It’s a keeper ✌🏼
Maybe he should get it looked at.
There are PLENTY of clinics around these days!
I think some people have something wrong with their ears. This guitar sounds like a $1200-1500 instrument. Looks great too. Put a Baggs Anthem SL in it and you’ll be good to go
Woah, this would sound very nice when being played by somebody who knows how to play guitar! 😆😉😉
Indeed
WHERE IS BLACK TOP PARLOR
that would be so cool
No way!
I heard Mrs. Claus does that sometimes! gross? you bet
Santa's wife won't be happy
Sounds quite cheap and tinny not rich and full, how do they get 'solid' rosewood to sound that poor?
you say stats but mean specs.. 😜
aahhh... same thing!
Sweatiness (skin conductivity) is a characteristic used in lie-detectors/polygraphs (scientifically poor evidence, but Americans love it). I would like to see polygraphs used in youtube reviews 🤣
Those pesky kids

@@herroglop7411 I think tone is in the way it's played, especially with acoustic
Spuce and Rosewood it will take time to mature and get "woody" tone. If you want a guitar that sound mature since you bring it out of the box you should go for Cedar top on Mahogany.
@@Dare_To_Imagine yes I wanted a cedar one but they don't do one in this range
@thewonderofyou1 They do, have a look at the CLD-30SCM-CE SolidWood
@@Dare_To_Imagine no I wanted a better quality cedar from this range
Pretty but you aint keeping that baby clean!
It looks absolutely beautiful. But it sounds quite bad to be honest. Not sure how much of that is the guitar or the recording. The audio is way over compressed though.
It’s a bit compressed, I wouldn’t say over-compressed
For an acoustic guitar review, I do think so. But it’s your review so you you compress it as you please ☺️
However the most disturbing thing to me is that the stereo image is messed up. I get seasick listening to this on headphones. Was L/R unlinked on the compressor or something? Just curious.
Beautiful mic by the way! It’s been on my wish list for years.
@@EytschPi42 You Tube have put "stable volume" on. IE a frickin compressor. You can turn it off and the sound is pretty good!
Faaaar too much noticeable compression on the audio!
You can thank UA-cam for compression . . . but I’m not hearing anything wrong on my end, so maybe it’s your internet connection or something.
@@MashaT22It’s not codec compression. 😄 The microphone audio is heavily compressed, and it’s pumping and messing with the stereo image. It has nothing to do with UA-cam.
Looking forward to all of your videos without compression. Please link them here.
@@EytschPi42 I won’t buy the guitar just to make a video. ☺️
I like the look but It doesn´t good, unfortunately....
Over charging for shipping and bad customer service. By used if anything
@@mannydecastro8604 shipping is free, unless you are in the US.
How is the customer service bad?

If you're in the US, Harley Benton now has a Reverb US store. I'm in Canada so I have to pay both shipping and duties, which adds $200 CDN.

ja... halt net soooo gut
