Almost Great

This was my 8th HB guitar ordered from Thomann, and certainly the most expensive. That being said, I had high expectations that this guitar would my best purchase yet, and would require very little “correction” right out of the box. Other HB purchases usually needed small adjustments in intonation, string height, fret end dressing, or truss rod adjustment. Let me first say that the delivered CLG-650-CE VS is an absolutely beautiful guitar, with wonderful tone. It is well crafted with above average HB hardware. It does, however, have one glaring flaw- as delivered it had the absolutely worst fret treatment that I had ever seen. When trying to perform even a minor string bend, the strings actually catch on the frets, and the sound emanating when trying to bend a note sounds like fingernails running across a chalkboard.
I will have to turn this over to an experienced luthier because I think that trying to polish frets that are in such poor condition is beyond my capabilities. I had considered returning the guitar, but frankly, I’d rather not go through the hassle, and I believe that once the fret issues are resolved by a luthier, I’ll be completely satisfied.

Summary:
PRO- Beautiful guitar, great woods, fine craftsmanship, better than average hardware, and good initial setup.

CON- Terrible fret work- should have never passed QC.

Note.... I also need to mention that you must remove the guitar strings to replace the battery for the preamp. Ughhhhh!

Wow, how do they do it?

This is my third Harley Benton acoustic. I was already impressed by how much guitar you get for the price of a basic, all-laminate Yamaha, which left me curious to see how their higher-end models fare. It arrived today and hasn't disappointed.
The finish is excellent—thin enough to let the wood grain show through—with zero blemishes or assembly gaps. The setup details are spot-on: the action is right where it needs to be, and the frets are level with smoothly dressed ends. The bridge and fretboard use HPL, which surprisingly doesn't detract from the looks at all. Both the nut and saddle are cleanly cut, and the intonation is close (an easy tweak). The tuners feel smooth with no play, though fresh strings mean time will tell. Looking inside, the craftsmanship holds up with no excess glue and neatly fitted X-bracing with proper joint work.
Tone-wise, it has a lovely, balanced warmth—mellow without turning muddy, and clear without being harsh, backed by a strong midrange. The HPL fingerboard and bridge don't seem to negatively affect the acoustic resonance at all, and it’s very touch-responsive with great harmonics and sustain. This is a keeper that genuinely punches above its weight. Having played Martins, Taylors, and Yamahas in the £700–£1,000 bracket, this matches or beats them.

CLG-650SM-CE VS
micoli 19.08.2020
A lovely sounding guitar with a a comfortable armrest built in. The action was lowered by me by sanding the saddle and the action plays great.
Only 2 little niggles. The first was that the fret marker dots were black and indistinguishable from the fret-board in low light. I painted some white dots with acrylic artists paint to get around this. The second is that the battery compartment is inside the sound-hole and is Velcroed to the base of the neck Not only is it a real pain changing the battery as the all the strings need to be loosened to get my hand in, but also the Velcro has become unattached, (presumably I didn't push it back on tightly enough), and the battery is now hanging loose inside the sound-hole and I can't be bothered to loosen the strings to put it back. To cure this, I've ordered a battery compartment that will fit on the base of the guitar, although it will need cutting a hole into the guitars base near the strap pin.
It's a well made guitar with a good clear and mellow sound. Well worth the money.

Extremely happy...

I ordered this as a backup guitar for my Taylor cedar top which I adore. Everything exceeded my expectations in regards to the fret treatment, sound, etc. The only thing that confused me was the battery in the velcro pouch thingy inside the guitar which I had never seen because I was used to the little plastic cases that pop out. Thus, that's the only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars on the features. Other than that, I'm ecstatic. The action is actually a bit lower than my Taylor making it somewhat easier to play; however, these are different guitars. One has more clarity in the midrange while the CLG has a really nice bass range and resonance. In a way, the resonance reminded me of my old Seagull S6. The finish on the back of the neck more like the Gibsons I have played in that the finish was more "sticky" than the Fender maple necks I prefer. However, that is a matter of preference, and it is easily remedied to match my needs. I can see myself playing this guitar for many years.
