Harley Benton Nashville Nylon Black

I've been playing semi pro and teaching music for decades. Owned lots of high (and low!) end guitars.

Pros: The guitar looks beautiful, is well finished overall & exceptionally lightweight. Nice slim-ish neck & zero fret sprout. Expensive strings as standard!

Cons: Truss rod needed quite a bit of tightening to get the right amount of relief. Something seemed off in the tuning dept too, maybe the nut was sticking - or the tuners were poor, I'm not sure, I didn't really get into it. The guitar played okay overall but the the action was a little high - 6th string was around 5mm at 12th fret. This would require sanding the saddle by at least 2mm. Not a big deal but something most players and certainly not a beginner would want to do.

Anyway, I'd already decided to return the guitar. Not because of these issues, I just had a feeling it was never going to be quite what I wanted. I still give it 5 stars because it really is a good guitar for the price. Again, I just want something better & I'm going to have to pay a LOT more to get it. Not fair to compare this guitar to one that costs €1500+. If you want a cheap light nylon string guitar that may need a setup, I recommend it.

Didn’t expect much from a nylon strung guitar with a body as thin as a telecaster , but what a pleasant surprise.
I am a gigging folk artist and sometimes I crave that warm classic sound of a nylon strung guitar, but with the ease of slinging on a mandolin . This is it . It is very light , that body looks solid but it is an acoustic chamber that occupies most of the surface of the guitar , and that generates an airy melodic tone right from the get go.
A longer neck than any classic guitar I’ve ever played , easy access right up past the 16th , lots of fun to be had there. Playable action up there too .
Battery powered preamp Lots of volume , tone controls with a midpoint bump you can feel but not see , next to no feedback cranked up loud , looks the part , sounds like you want it to and for the price it’s a no brainer.
