I broke it! Harley Benton CLD 41S Review

[@stevebrighttheblackguitar653]

I appreciated your review so much that i just ordered one! And got the $20.00 dollar cheap case. I have no intention of throwing it anywhere! I don’t worry about any guitar getting common everyday abuse. I appreciate your advice about not having electronics. I have about 6 HB guitars. Some are better than others. Unlike Firefly etc, you actually have a choice of what you buy and not just grabbing one that turns up online. I expect this to be a good guitar! Thank you for your review..... Merry Christmas and again thanks for picking out my present for me! LOL

[@tigerbalm666]

Look beautiful! Glad I decided NOT to get a cutaway or PU's...I just want the best natural sound with no electronics.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

You seemed too really enjoy playing this guitar , that says alot right there ! So I am guessing that the action and feel of the guitar is really good, or ! You are a good actor ! Lol !!!

16:31 - Holy crap. 10 Cameras? I used to be a cinematographer. There's a hole lot going on there.

[@Nermash]

How about a shootout of 300 Euro acoustic guitars? I would love to hear that HB against Epiphone Hummingbird .

[@jacebeleren1703]

This. I really wanna know if it would be worth it to get a high-level HB compared to my Epiphone Hummingbird.

[@Robert_Fordin]

X-bracing - this is the answer.

[@osamabinladen824]

@@Robert_Fordin I don't get it.

[@endoffate5475]

I have compare this guitar with a Epiphone masterbuild dr400.. And the HB kills it in every way..Fatter sound and better set up..The Epiphone had sharp frets..

[@richardsyoutubechannel995]

Is that your way of saying your not interested in this 🤔 😂😂

[@planetpjr]

Uncanny, Rick Beato just uploaded a video about the importance of acoustic guitar.

[@racl1954]

Maybe you could have tested the case with a cheaper guitar from the HB range rather than damaging that beauty.

[@bartvschuylenburg]

Nice Byrds like vocals in the track at the start.

[@osamabinladen824]

What song is it

[@mars6433]

@8:46 THANK YOU !! I bought my acoustic dreadnought for those exact reasons !

[@Wurstkiste]

OK! 100 point´s for the shirt!

[@Hugh_Jaynus_00]

What if I checked KZbin without seeing 100 Harley Benton reviews?

[@Voxguitarsrock]

Martin d41 homage I'm guessing?

[@1961jscofield]

A lot of guitar for the money. Very attractive as well.

[@DMSProduktions]

A bloody GOOD acoustic for any price! Solid top & back or just solid top?

[@zjokka]

HB Acoustics have laminated back and sides... still great guitars. Top is most important in the sound

[@DMSProduktions]

@@zjokka Too true! Cheers!

[@vasilijpupkin3681]

@@zjokka They also have few fully solid models

[@zjokka]

@@vasilijpupkin3681 damn you are right -- but only in mahogany, cedar or walnut. Rosewood set of back&sides costs more than +100USD Solid HBs: www.thomann.de/be/search_dir.html?sw=harley+benton+solidwood&smcs=24c838_1637

[@zjokka]

@Eiermaler Eiermaler Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, they do not sound better than the non-solid back guitars, who cost less than half.

[@bobc.5698]

I just ordered one of these I wish I would have known about them when they were rosewood

[@Cheguebuddha]

That is my guitar :D I love it but it does sound much better with Elixir strings !

[@JimmySapios]

What kind of strings would you recommend for a rich deep and powerfull sound? The standard daddario that come from the factory do sound a bit bright and souless and i m thinking of giving the Elixir 13-56 80/20 bronze a try. Any opinions on those?

[@JimmySapios]

I am playing in a D or C tuning by the way

[@davidjones6218]

Why did HB not do the logo in abalone.?? That would've been the icing on the cake.👍

[@lewissoles914]

I gave my new Yamaha to a friend down on luck my wife gave a Yamaha 30 years ago I love it the new was beautiful to but my friend needed a lift .Im looking to buy a new one like this one .I love my single cut HB so im guna give this guitar a shot it looks beautiful ill comment back when it gets here

[@MultiGuitarDave]

Nice review again. Now I'm waiting for your review of the Harley Benton CLG-650SM-CE VS. I'm interested in 3 Harley Benton Guitars. The CLG-650SM-CE VS, the CLD 41SE WN or the CLD 41SE WN. I't's for live but for recording too. Help!!!

[@TheRusolandia]

Yo también espero impaciente esa review de la gld-650 y una comparativa. Estoy entre comprarme esta 41, la 30-ce o la 650 una de las tres será la afortunada.

[@jacebeleren1703]

Ι would argue that using a more expensive mic with any guitar would translate the experience of it being next to you in a more realistic way, wouldnt it? Don't better (so, more expensive) mics pickup the sound in a more "true" and natural way?

[@Sniffzoer]

If the premiss of "you get what you pay for" is always true then yes, however i would argue that this is not always the case.

[@Alfredo78666]

Nice tune, man

[@countblue]

One of the few things I am set for life and I dont need to think about is a dreadnought acoustic. I have Yamaha 365-S from 1982 with a palisander fretboard. Its unbeatable.

[@bikesnbeerz]

Near Stockfish Records level quality recording. Dope!

[@renmad0078]

It could be very nice to compare this CLD-41 SE WN with the other one you have already tested the CLJ-45E vs. There is any comparaison of this 2 beautiful guitars which are the high grade of Thomann acoustic guitars. Both seeems really very good. But we can't find any comparaison between these two in same condition it's always a different video for each. I think it could be very interesting for many guitarists to see and ear them in the same video. Thanks a lot for this demo. 👍😉

[@FoxMulder22]

Na EytschPi im Vergleich zu Gibson oder Martin wäre nun mal vieeeeel interessanter! Ich selbst habe die China-Version von „Martin“ compare gespielt - Lack und Holz spielen eine erhebliche Rolle! Ich darf in jedem Fall zugeben, die 12-saitige HB ist schon klasse und das darf ich mit Gibson und Fender Akkustik- und E-Gitarren-Besitzer schon neidlos anerkennen!

[@fynn5783]

13:44 what are the chords? So good.

[@TheRusolandia]

Thomann case link please. He navegado por la web de Thomann y no encuentro ese estuche de guitarra. Tiene una pinta estupenda

Henning, which did you like better? This, or the Gibson-esque model you recently demo'd?

[@ValentineGoloubev]

Oktava mics \m/

Oh thank God you said no electronics. I have been preaching that for almost 30 years.

[@TheRusolandia]

@@EytschPi42 ouh yeah. SafeCase 80. Do you plan to review the harley benton CLG 650 SM acoustic? I'm very interested in your opinion Saludos desde España, muchísimas gracias.

[@JimmySapios]

What kind of strings would you recommend for a rich and deep/bass sound? I find that the factory 12-53 are a bit bright and soulless when i got mine.

[@panameadeplm]

What kind of pick are you using? The type of pick you use has the greatest effect on how the guitar sounds. My top 3 picks are the Dunlop 500 .46mm(light pink one) for the richest, fullet tone, the Dunlop Ultex .60mm for a loud, balanced tone and the Dunlop Tortex TIII .50mm jazz style for the loudest, sharpest tone. In general any pick over .60mm is going to make the guitar sound loud and kind of flat. I'm sure there are other picks that sound better, but these are the ones you can find anywhere for very cheap.

[@ulfvolz4798]

Gold plated? I guess that is what you were looking for.

[@fraenkiboii]

I'm actually looking for an accoustic right now. Does HB have some small ones for small people? Something like the Ibanez AE(G) series?

[@EytschPi42]

they have tons

a cutaway on an acoustic guitar is because I think it looks cool and it sounds just the same shut up, but you're not wrong there's no "need" for it

Is it solid or layered?

All solid, HB do a range of solids.

[@Am6-9]

Solid top, laminated sides and back.
