A folk guitar that won't break the bank

Harley Benton HBCG45 guitar, front view

Harley Benton instruments have long been known for offering excellent quality for beginners or musicians who are on a restricted budget, and this certainly holds true for the Harley Benton HBCG45, a Folk-style steel acoustic guitar featuring a laminated mahogany body and sturdy hardware that, despite its incredibly low price, is impressively durable and delivers a commanding sound. Visually too, the instrument shines with its dark natural finish, cream-coloured binding on the body and neck, gold-plated machine heads, and mother-of-pearl rosette inlay.

Precision in acoustic sound

The Harley Benton HBCG45 provides a mid-focussed sound with a very immediate response that is suitable for both chord strumming and especially fingerpicking. The slim and easy-to-play neck boasts a modern C-profile and a fingerboard made of roseacer – maple wood that has been specially heat-treated to give it a similar appearance and playing feel to that of rosewood. The bridge, also made of roseacer, provides a comfortable resting place for the player's picking/strumming hand, while a thinly applied satin lacquer gives the instrument a traditional appearance and makes it smooth to the touch. The picture is completed by the gold-plated, die-cast machine heads, which promise many years of easy and reliable tuning.

An affordable entry-level guitar

With its budget-friendly price, the Harley Benton HBCG45 is primarily aimed at beginners, who typically have only a modest budget at their disposal. Despite its modest price tag, however, this guitar promises plenty of acoustic power and years of playing enjoyment. The slim-taper neck makes it significantly easier for beginners to get started, and the light-gauge strings with which the HBCG45 comes from the factory mean that those first chords and exercises won't become a feat of strength and endurance. Additionally, the guitar's matt natural finish and cream-coloured binding provide a wonderfully traditional look from top to bottom, making it an eye-catching piece in the living room or during sessions with friends.

Excellent beginner guitar
Mark1891 03.05.2014
I bought this guitar for new students to use in lessons. This is excellent value for money and comes well packed with additional scratch plate and allen key for truss rod adjustment. After a quick set up to lower the action the guitar stays in tune and is easy to play. I have bought a number of Harley Benton products and have been very impressed with the quality for the price. This guitar is no exception and looks good for the money. For 51 euros including postage you can't expect a fantastic tone from the laminate structure but as a starter guitar this ticks all the boxes.

GREAT GUITAR FOR THE MONEY
PD 31.05.2013
This guitar should not sound or play as well as it does straight out of the box......its less than 45EURO !
It sounds particularly good played with a glass slide for Blues and is louder than I expected when strummed. It also has good note separation for finger picking pieces too.
Upgrading this model with a pro' set-up, TUSQ brand nut and bridge and better tuners will make it sound, play, look and feel like an instrument worth 4 times its price for a fraction of that cost.....GREAT GUITAR

Wie geht das?

Eines vorweg:
Wir reden hier nicht über ein Kunststoffteil , welches in der Fertigung einfach "aufgepustet" wird. Hier handelt es sich um ein Werkstück aus Holz, bei dem trotz Automation einiges an handwerklicher Leistung erbracht werden muss. Dies ist in Anbetracht des wirklich niedrigen Preises einigermaßen gelungen!

Der Sound ist, wie beschreiben und als Soundbeispiel zu hören, durchaus brauchbar. Die Verarbeitung ist bei diesem Preis erstaunlich. Jedem sei angeraten die Einstellung des Spannstabes zu überprüfen. Mit dem mitgelieferten Schlüssel lässt sich schnell eine moderate Halskrümmung einstellen (Anleitungen gibt es im Internet). Nun kann man eigentlich schon loslegen! Das Teil bringt wirklich Spass... bis man in die oberen Lagen vordringt, oder anfängt die Saiten zu ziehen?! Mein Exemplar war, wie auch nicht anders zu erwarten, nicht ganz bundrein. Zudem waren die Bundstege nicht glatt genug. Nach einer Stunde Arbeit mit der Feile an der Stegeinlage und Stahlwolle an den Bünden war es Zeit für "gute" Saiten. Beim Saitenwechsel habe ich das Instrument mit der Hand von innen abgetastet und musste feststellen, dass eine der Muttern, mit denen der Steg befestigt ist, kurz davor war, abzufallen. Dies war zwar schnell behoben, sollte aber doch nun wirklich nicht sein. Deshalb nur 2 Sterne für Verarbeitung. (Kurze Frage nach China: "Warum eigentlich die Schrauben im Sattel?)

Fazit: Nach ein wenig Selbsthilfe bin ich nun zufrieden, schenke die Klampfe meiner Tochter und spiele weiter auf meiner S**gull ;-)

P.S. habe das Instrument von Anbeginn für meine 13jährige Tochter gekauft und die hat damit ein deutlich besseres Instrument als ihr Vater vor vielen Jahren.

EDIT:
Nach ca. 6 Monaten in extrem rauem Gebrauch einer mittlerweile 14-jährigen Punk-Lady funktioniert das Ding immer noch (trotz div. Aufkleber auf der Decke). Keine Risse (wie auch bei Plywood), Hals gerade, Saitenlage OK.
Nach dem Studium einiger anderer Bewertungen, denke ich an Thomann ein Tip abgeben zu dürfen: Es scheint eine extreme Serienstreuung bei diesem Produkt zu existieren. Ich habe Glück gehabt und zudem handwerkliches Geschick ist mein Eigen. Bitte kontrolliert auch diese billigen Gitarren besser, verbrennt die mangelhaften und macht die "guten" meinetwegen 5,00€ teurer, aber enttäuscht die Anfänger nicht zu sehr.
