Harley Benton CG-400CE Thinline BK

Don't buy this guitar, there, you don't need to read much more. There is a reason why 500€ and up is a norm, this accoustic gitarr is just to compromised due to cutting the cost. First the positiv.

It sounds pretty good (when there is no fret buzz). The Hannaback strings really makes this guitar sound bigger, and over all pretty good compared to it's body size. It also looks pretty good and weights absolutly nothing. It's sound is probably a people pleaser in a small room, but not usefull in a real studio.

Now the bad....
1. The paint job is fragile and will wear out fast.
2. Frets are all kinds of heights, expect fret noises.
3. Built in mic is to poor sounding to be used in recording sessions.
4. The tuners are probably to cheep, so expect added wierd noises transported in to the string.

There is more issues to mention in terms of quality problems, I can't just stomek to write much more about this guitar.

In the end it is a valid atempt, and I am sure there going to be some of all the sold guitars that actully function. Time is money so if you can spare it and feel like trying it, have zero expectations, AND have lots of knowledge, and tools to fix what will need to be fixed.

And if you do play a lot of guitars, expect it to behave inconsistent, if it even will be able to perform. Had all kinds of noises since I bough this regret.

Oh here is a free tip, use only water and very weak soap to clean the guitar, or it might shed it's cheap paint.

I recently purchased a CG 400-CE guitar and I have to say, I am blown away by its versatility. Not only can it produce rich, warm tones when played acoustically, but plug it into an amp and it transforms into a rock beast! The built-in pickups capture every nuance of my playing and the onboard EQ allows me to shape my sound exactly how I want it.

But the best part? No more lugging around a separate amp to gigs. This guitar has everything I need in one compact package. It's like having a Swiss Army Knife of guitars - it does it all, and does it well.

In short, if you're on the fence about getting an Electro-Acoustic guitar, don't be. Just do it. Your ears (and back) will thank you
