Harley Benton Traveler-Steel

I was surprised on how nice it is to play. There can be a bit sharp frets but nothing I have not experienced on guitars 10 times the price. Overall the playability is really great and it's a joy to play. The sound is boxy but what do you expect from a tiny body guitar. It's loud enough though so great for playing on a holiday for some sing along and great for just practicing for the price. So really it fills it's purpose amazingly.

Hvis man skal have en lille guitar til at holde fingrene varme på rejser er det da alletiders ikke at skulle bruge små tre tusind på en Martin, selv om den er fed. Vær forberedt på selv at skulle sætte den op. Min skal have forholdsvis høj action for ikke at rasle på båndene. Med høj action bliver den så en smule båndfalsk når man bevæger sig op af gribebrættet, men bestemt acceptabelt. Lyden er tynd, men lille krop og til en 500,-kr, så kan det altså ikke være anderledes.

So where to begin?

This guitar is a suprise in the shape of a parlor guitar.

-The whole guitar is in the shape of the old parlor/country cowboy guitars, so its nowhere near the good ol' dreadnought, so getting used to it is a must. But if you put a strap around it, then all your problems are solved and you will find no problen holding it.

- The fretboard is great, the frets themselves dont stick out on the sides and going up and down the fretboard is extremely comfortable. The roseacer wood feels great! Yet again Hartley Benton suprised me.

-The tuners themselves are standard tuners that do their jobs well and are built sturdy and good. You can change them if you dont like them but i didnt see the need for that since they are good.

-The bridge is well built and is shaped in such a way that it feels natural when you are strumming your guitar.

-The body is well built and it resonates sound well and even.

-The sound suprises you, because you expect it to be high as the body is so slim, but its full and loud and its suprises listeners because they never expect a full body acoustic sound out of such a guitar! Amazing

For such a low price you get a unique acoustic parlor guitar that you can take anywhere, and the build quality is amazing for such a low price.

So do you want to sit by a campfire under the starry night and pretend youre an outlaw country legend like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings or Johnny Cash? Or even if you feel the Mississippi delta blues of Robert Johnson? Well even if you want to be that person at a party who always picks up a guitar and goes "anyways, heres wonderwall)", or even if youre chilling in your home during this uncertain times and you need some good ol' acoustic music in your life, well then this is the ideal guitar for you!

This is my second Harley Benton guitar and i plan to expand that number for sure!
