Harley Benton CG-45 NS

A folk guitar that won't break the bank

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.
