Eike! What a brilliant player! Thanks Henning for having me to discover him!
Very nice playing, Eike!
The Harley Benton sounded great in his hands, but his own guitar sounded just incredible.
Still unbelievable what you get from Harley Benton these days...
Bought this guitar. It just sounds like in your video. Thanks guys! :-)
Another great review.
I love your videos Henning.
Of all the guitar I purchased online I would say this is the best one that made me happy in terms of price, sound & quality. I did upgrade it with a soundhole pickup, new brass bridge pin.
Nice Elizabeth Cotten cover. I usually always finger pick that song and railroad bill first on every acoustic i grab. I just ordered a harley benton crl 15m an hour ago and I can’t wait to pluck it when it arrives.
I'm pretty sure the saddle is at the bridge and is compensated for the B string. The nut is up on the neck. Others might correct me if Im wrong.
Here in sweden the guitarword "nut" and the guitarword "bridge" are "översadel" and "sadel" which would be "oversaddle" and "saddle" in directly translated english.
So maybe theres similar words in germany and they've mixed the two words up somehow. I know I do sometimes when I talk about guitars in swedish.
That helps a lot, thanks! I used the Auto Align by Sound Radix to fix the phase and it really helped with the definition and focus of the sound. I was surprised how much it helped because the phase wasn't too far off but it made a really big difference. It is still a little weighted to one side, but I think I may be too close. How far away were the mics in your recording? It was hard to tell from the vid. And are you high passing the side mics at all? If so what freq/slope? Thanks so much! Your guitar sound in this video has become one of my references for acoustic guitar. Great job.
Thanks for the review, also great playing!! Im looking for a low pitch acoustic with a natural and ample sound unplugged, what would you recommend among the Harley Benson brand?
Henning, can you please do a review of of the Harley Benton Manhattan acoustic? I am in love with the look and price! But would love to hear your thoughts on it. Awesome videos, keep up the good work!
Compensated saddle means that the saddle is staggered to compensate for the tuning intonation.
Another brilliant video.
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful and helpful review, you certainly convinced in buying this guitar. Eike Jung is an amazing acoustic guitar player.
But I wanted to ask, i forgot to click on the link. Would it work if I email Thomann that I got inspired from the review here or by mentioning you in the feedback?
Nice guitar . Any thoughts on the Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Mahogany?
World like a low priced but still OK to Play small travel guitar for daily use and around town etc 😀
I am looking for one to play blues/slide on. Which Harley Benton would be best?
Really nice picking & great sound with that Lakewood ! Btw, what the heck is a Lakewood?
nice review.keep it up.. can you also make a review for harley benton custom line CLG-414CE NT. because i cant find a good review for this model.
Hello. That's a beautiful guitar... do you think it'll suit for an experted player? Or is it more fore begginers? what do you think?
Sir please what videosoftware are you using? It looks pro and nice done.
könntet ihr mal nen review zu der harley benton cla 28v machen? es gibt nirgendswo videos dazu im internet :)
Already posted on the last video, but man, i would love to see you get your hands on the TE-70 Rosewood Deluxe and that 12-string Rickenbacker-esque Harley Benton guitar. This brand has me so intrigued.
oh me tooooooooooooo
I actually bought one a few days ago and I could not be happier. It's a real beauty. She may not sound as rich and full as that really expensive Lakewood Eike has, but she has exactly that warm, earthy, charming sound that I was looking for. And don't get me wrong, the CLA-15M doesn't sound bad by any means.
Seems to be quite playable, too. I've played almost solely nylon strings up to this point (and, very occasionally, my dad's seagull, but I hate the bloody thing), played for around three-ish hours the day I got this thing and was still able to use my fingers the day after. Kind of. Which I used to get some more hours of practice in. Because this guitar is really fun to play.
If she stands the test of time, I'll probably play this guitar for many years to come.
This guitar can be compared with martin 00015m in someway? I am waiting that arrives in my home in Italy..can i expect a guitar with a high value? I love the sound of mahogani !
I've never heard one of the mahogany Martins in person, but going by the recordings I've heard, the Martin 000-15M sounds a lot warmer and fuller than the CLA-15M, which sounds... well, it's hard to describe how it sounds. A bit more harsh, maybe, but not in a bad way, necessarily. It's an interesting sound with a bit of a twang, and I really like it.
They are comparable in that they both have a warm, earthy sound, but the way in which they exhibit the sound is quite different.
I like the CLA-15M a lot, though. I was ready and willing to pick a substantially more expensive guitar (my upper limit was around 400€), but this one was the guitar I genuinely liked the most. The low price was really more of a bonus.
Guardy is the guitar going well after these months? (sorry my English sucks XD)
Yep, the guitar is still doing very well!
I've played it nearly every day since I got it, and I'm still very, very happy with it.
(and don't worry, your English is fine)
Please HP, you gotta do Cla-16 or Cla-28 :)
Please would you be kind enough to write the name and author of the piece playing 11.35 minutes Eike? Thank you.
nice guitar.. I'm considering as i like a guitar that sounds great feels great and best of all has great tone.. also would like to add thats a nice lookin dog you have there.. may I ask what breed is your dog? thanks and cheers! :)
Im pretty sure someone has answered you, the saddle ia the white thing on the bridge and the nut you should know that one.
How was the setup of the guitar from the factory? Did you have to lower the action?
Great review.....thank you!
The song in into is a rendition of Elizabeth Cotten's Freight Train. I wonder whose arrangement this is?
I love your reviews! Oh and by the way, what is the song that Eike is playing? (Tommy song something or other)
A little late answer. It is "Mombasa" by Tommy Emanuelle.
@@ssm445 I thought it was Tommy's version of Freight Train.
Oh - does the BX digital V2 correct phase also?
Super Thanks you both Eike is a killer!!!
Thanks for the review . I want to ask should i buy this or HB GS TRAVEL E MAHOGANY
The lakewood sounds great but so does the Harley benton. I like the mahogany sound gonna get one soon enough
Hello! Which guitar is that at 1:03, on the right of the cla-15m??? Thanks ;)
Nice rendition of Mombasa.
Just got mine today
Wunderschöne
Jesus!!! These things cost 170 euros!! I have been using a Martin 00015M for year and it's my main touring guitar but I didn't take it on holiday or to the beach... this could be the answer as I always miss my Martin when on holiday with a smaller travel size guitar. Great playing btw
I just got my Martin 000-15M in November 2020 after a long wait because of the covid-19. I am really impressed with the soud of this thing. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my 000-15M but i would buy this thing in a heartbeat if i find one for a travel gitar for that price.
@@cyberstace58 They do a copy of theTaylor GS mini, I have the Taylor GS mini mahogany e and have just received The Harley Benton mini in mahogany, a great padded guitar bag, battery and spare, and guitar lead. The guitar has a pickup. This took 3 days to arrive at my house in England from Germany. This was double boxed and arrived safe and sound.
The company who own Harley Benton are called Thomman and they are incredibly helpful and reliable.
I can honestly tell you this guitar is beautifully made with a great action and set up. It is very close to my Taylor in quality, sound, playability and looks. The Taylor cost me £600. The Harley......£95... I will let you do the maths. Sorry this is late, I've only just seen your post. Go get it, you won't regret it. Best wishes.
@@mozartsmate6358 Yes please let me know and thank-you so much for the reply :)
@@cyberstace58 Are you in the States or Europe Wayne.?
@@mozartsmate6358I live a little town called Channel Port-aux-Basques in Newfoundland Canada .
Wow~ luv this playing! great tune! ....mtw LA CA USA
Can you explain the mixing of the MS signal? I am trying this MS technique (because yours sound soooo good!) but mine sounds unbalanced when I bring in the side mics. It gets weighted to one side. Would appreciate a video on this :)
OK, the way it works...
Cardioid Mic toward guitar.
Figure 8 Mic sideways.
In the DAW, duplicate the Figure 8 mono track and pan one to the left and one to the right. Phase reverse one of the two. Cardioid Mic panned center.
If you now have a signal that's too heavy on one side, you have phase issues with the middle mic. Either use a phase correction tool like the the one from IBP (or the UAD plugin of it) or move the center track slightly, by a few samples, to correct the phase. Now it should be centered.
I use a Plugin Alliance plugin that does all of this for me, the bx Digital V2... great EQ and has all the M/S stuff built in, so all I do is pan Cardioid left and Figure 8 right and the plugin does the rest.
Hope this helps !
-> genialer Gitarrist!
Du weißt doch das du total verrückt bist... But I like it!
Great videos and fun to watch! I'll buy one of these just for some fun...
Könnt ihr irgendwie die cla-28v zeigen? Das wär geil...
I'm indecisive... This one, or the Fender CD-60SCE?
Really great review. I hope you cover some of the other Harley Benton branded guitars.
I'm interested in those lp 450 guitars and also they have some fun looking 8 string guitar. maybe you could get a hold of them perhaps?
Also.................. METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** Check out the 3 STRAT comparison... one of the harley Benton... it's on my channel... I have 4 electrics here as well nd demos are coming soon... they have changed A LOT over the years and the ones I have here are incredible !
could someone pls tell me what he is playing ?
What about the action? I´m not a beginner but I have very low budget.... It can work? Certainly??? What about the Takamine or Cort, in this same price range, around 200
Nices review , wie heisst der song ab 11:40 ?
Which of these three guitars you recommended to buy ? I listened on the Thomann site and all sound good so I can not decide.
Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-15MCE or
Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-16SCE or
Harley Benton Custom Line CLA-15MCE
The First one is a Dreadnought, the other 2 are Auditorium. Dread is a rounder sound (great for strumming), auditorium has more definition (for fingerstyle for example, is great).
16S has a brighter sound and 15M has a darker sound. Also a dreadnought can be a problem if you're short, for people with small body, auditorium is better option. It all depends on what you want to play, your style to play and, not so important IMO, your body type.
I can't choose between cla-15 and cld-15, it's my first guitar, i don't know which one could be Better 😵
Good review. Thanks.
Dewex Dewex Thank you!
c est une guitare trés confortable facile à jouer ,apres un petit reglage ,finition impec, son trés correct;
can you get these in the USA?
Great review. Simple question - this HB or Ibanez PC12MH OPN?
Paweł D hb
Hey H!
I´m looking for a an acoustic with a pickup for connecting it to DI and mixers etc.
Have you tested any of the guitars with the pickups? Would be nice to know the quality of HB´s pickups.
I see the guitar in this video is available in a pickup version, but it would be nice to get a review on either this one with a pickup or another one :)
yes, the video of the cld-41se is on my channel!
EytschPi42 Thanks! Bad research on my end... :D
J’envois une bouteille a la mer pour un francophone.. je pense me l’offrir d’ici quelques mois (pour mon anniv), me la conseillez vous ?
J’hésite avec la clp 15 M mais les 12 casses hors caisse me rebute un peu.. merci pour votre aide ;)
Salut ^^, J'arrive après la bataille. Avez-vous acheté cette guitare ? La conseillez-vous pour un niveau intermédiaire ? Y a t'il des réglages à prévoir après l'achat ? Merci ^^,
What is thits song the beginning?
Also bear in mind that the Lakewood, lovely as it is, is a dreadnought!
Its a great guitar i have one too, if i tell people the price of it nobody believes it. By the way that guy plays incredibly good.
What is the Name of the first Song and the second and the third...........Please
What's the song he played to compare the 3 guitars ?
Mombasa by Tommy Emmanuel
I changed my mind.
I'm getting mahogany instead of spruce.
I like both, but the mid push of mahogany is the actual shit.
So, CLD-15 MCE is gonna be my honey baby.
I just ordered it , what’s ur thoughts on it?
The HB is nice, the Lakewood is great.
Thomas of course, but man check that price!
i got the parlor version. for the money €190 or so its great.
But you can record only with one microphone or you need that two?
sure you can record with a single mic, no problem
Please tell me, is it true that the whole guitar is made of solid wood? Or are we being deceived? Because even Sigma only from the upper deck array are 3 times more expensive.
this vs sigma dm15?
Good review, which one you think is better sounding CLA-15M or CLD16S
not better, just different! For me it would be the CMA
CLA of course...
Is this guitar body considered jumbo? I'm scared it's really big.
Nope, that's an Auditorium; a bit smaller than a Dreadnought.
I got to play one of these today, and I (164 cm / 5'4"-5'5"-ish) had absolutely no trouble with the size of this thing.
Or with anything else, actually. It's fantastic and I need one x'D
Bzzzz,.... just like the dogs i dosed off by that amazing gitar playing. He makes that HB sound amazing. ok ok.. the 2nd guitar had a nicer warmer and fuller sound to it.
I will get myself a HB first so i can learn how to play, which is going to suck, because i dont have the first clue about music. Sadly my music teacher in school ruined my love for music back then so i never learned.
My Main Acoustic Guitar - love it!
Hey man, how good would you say it is? I'm gonna start recording my debut album soon and was wondering if I should use this guitar?
Very nice review. I think the lakewood is awesome but the harley benton is not so far.
I love your channel though
hey guys need some advice, I avout to buy a guitar and I need to know which to buy, i have two alternatives:
Cort luce l450c or HB CLA-15 (cost 100 euro less).
I read the description of those two and the main difference is that Hb has bone nut and saddle, and Cort has solId mahogany back. what you guys think?
In this price range I would go for the HB, Corts are great, but nothing beats HB at this price!
what is the intro song?

Hey, can you please do an objective review on the following guitars? I think people [like me] would really apreciate it. I buy stuff from Thomann and I am quite curious about them.
Harley Benton L-1000 VB Progressive Line / Harley Benton MR-65SB P90 Vintage Series / Harley Benton L-500 BK Vintage Series / Harley Benton Custom Line Nashville Nylon / Harley Benton RB-612CS Classic Series / Harley Benton TE-70 Rosewood Deluxe Series [I have my eyes on this one] / Harley Benton TE-52 NA Vintage Series
I [and others] would really apreciate your effort. One thing is to read the reviews, another is to watch it being played and reviewed in an objective manner.
Best regards
I have 4 electric guitars here now and videos will be coming soon... the L1000 Progressive is one of them... the a strat, Les Paul and Tele... I can't do every model they have, that would be overkill and way too much time I have to spend on that without getting paid. I hope that the reviews I will do give you an idea about the general quality of the brand!
Thanks my friend. Really apreciate it. Keep up the excelent work and squeeze those joyo and mooer people to do good stuff.

Danke für den Clip. Die Lakewood klingt natürlich druckvoller und dynamischer als die HB, aber die HB ist eben 16x (!) billiger. Das geht wahrscheinlich nur mit Dumpinglöhnen in Asien. Ich hoffe, dass die dortigen Arbeitsbedingungen noch menschenwürdig sind. Könntet ihr da mal bei Thomann nachfragen?
Dein Englisch, HP, ist für einen Nicht-Muttersprachler richtig gut. Deine Stimme ist im Vergleich zur Gitarre aber zu laut aufgenommen, das nervt etwas.
+Jochen Brand Ich hab vor einigen Wochen Thomann in Treppendorf besucht und unter anderem dieses Schätzchen in der Hand gehabt. Ich bin kein Experte was Akkus angeht aber eine Kundin sprach mich an (hatte ein schwarzes Hemd an) weil sie dachte ich gehör zum Team und wir schauten uns gemeinsam 4-5 Modelle an. Die CLA15-M war auch mein Favorit.
Zur Fertigung hat uns ein Mitarbeiter gezwitschert, dass die Akustik Modelle von Yamaha produziert werden.
Man sollte also mal nach deren Arbeitsbedingungen schauen.
+Jester Dyne Danke für die Info! Yamaha-Gitarren sind ja nicht die schlechtesten... :-)
Jochen Brand Gern geschehen! Man hört ja die Aufnahme im Video.
Meine clg 414 ce nt kommt laut Bonedo aus China von Saein,die produzieren auch fuer Ibanez, Ephiphone und andere Marken im niedrigeren Preissegment.Viele Sachen sind ja heute automatisiert und CNC Fraesen koennen auch die bedienen, wohl ein Grund fuer den Preis.
At this point, the only thing Harley Benton is missing, is a gypsy jazz guitar
There was actually about 10 years ago for about 200 euros. It's a D-hole 14th fret guitar with solid Sitka top and laminated back and sides, ebony bridge and fingerboard, maple neck. And I have one! It's a copy of DellArte hommage and it still plays and sounds amazing! I do play gypsy jazz and my friend says it sounds better than Gitan. If they have an oval hole I'd buy it straight away. :)
I hate when the guitars are not properly tuned. They are all tuned nearly a half tone lower ‼️ fuck man I hate that but otherwise you are a funny guy that makes a lot of interesting videos 👍😁
Solid Maho Top for only 160 Euro? That's insane.
Hey Henning,
ich brauch deinen Rat. Seit längerem spiel ich mit dem Gedanken, mir endlich eine gute Akustikgitarre zu kaufen (habe bisher nur 'ne alte, schon sehr kaputte Hopf).
Jetzt suche ich eine Gitarre, mit der man ab und an mal Straßenmusik (auch ohne Verstärker) machen kann, also sollte sie laut genug sein, sie sollte einen warmen Sound haben, und auch in den tiefen Lagen noch gut klingen. Außerdem wäre mit eine relativ kompakte Gitarre am liebsten (etwa so wie die Martin LX1e).
Nach etwas umschauen hab ich 2 Gitarren gefunden, die mir sehr gut gefallen:
- Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top
-Harley Benton CLA-15M (also die hier :D)
Welche würdest du mir empfehlen?
Oder hast du noch einen besseren Vorschlag? Ich würde maximal 220€ ausgeben.
Danke schonmal! :)
Und wie immer tolles Video!
*Korrektion: - Harley Benton CLA-15MCE (die hat noch einen Tonabnehmer)
Und ich spiel hauptsächlich, schlagend mit den Fingern oder Zupfend. So das wär's dann glaube ich haha.
Eike du bist begnadeter Gitarrist. Ich könnte deinen Sound in diesem Video als Dauerschleife hören
where can i buy it in USA ?
you can't, it you can buy it direct from Thomann, they ship to the US!
they ship to brazil ?
+Icaro Moreira yes, they do....
+EytschPi42 i came from thomann i always buy there my first guitar 11 years ago :D LOL
Can anyone please name the song played at 11:31? Thanks in advance
+Mieke-E mombasa
+Paulie Gualtieri Thanks for that Paulie & Mieke!
Hello for papper nose was again and sorry meant no harm your turtoriel itself is really cool
but unfortunately I wished such notions of instruments at times also in German language not only English otherwise you are a swinger and Eike a gifted guitarist good as keep up and sorry for the papper nose
would you but are also determined lachhhh greetings ossy drummer
1556 ....for shits and giggles...haaahaaaa 😅 funny guy...I just can't shit and giggle at the same time..nice review guys.👍
Exactly the sound I am looking for. Don't have money though. Ah well the poor man's life isn't easy
The dude really knows how to play an acoustic guitar. But he doesn't know what a Nut and Saddle are :D Nut is that piece between the fingerboard and the headstock. The Saddle is that flat piece that sits in a slot on the bridge (where the strings attach to the soundboard of the guitar). Nut and Saddle are the 2 points that the strings sit on and produce the sound. Same as with electric guitars, but the saddle are usually very different from the different types of guitars.
The Harley Benton's sound great for what they are but they just can't hold up in comparison to a Lakewood or similar guitar made with high quality wood and construction. It's all about the wood and construction when it comes to acoustics.
My serious acoustics are for recording, paying gigs and writing.
But you need this kind of guitar just for fun if you do a lot of jamming with friends, play at the beach, when camping or at parties etc. If it gets broken or the neck warps too badly to be fixed who cares? Just buy another one. And at this price? I'd buy two just to have a spare.
Nice guitar and a great playing example. Thumbs up!
+John B
Keep telling yourself that wood quality and construction methods have no real bearing on the tone of an acoustic guitar if that's what you want to believe.
Good for you if you're happy.
I think this guy could sound good with a crappy stick. Nice guitar tough
I'm fuckin annoyed, I only just found out about this company but when I went to go look at their jumbo line, the site says they're all gone! Late to the party yet again
Im going for that Martin D-41 style Harly Benton, i don't really like the jumbo's
Spooderman the guitar on the video is an auditorium
disregard, they put the jumbo on sale again - I'm waiting for one to come in the mail at the moment
Come on....this is a deep fake.....That's Tommy Emmanuel playing his Maton...right? Freaking impressive both guitar and player....Wow!
13:13 TOSSER
he does not"know his shit"lol
there is nothing wussy about acoustic guitar.
the guy doesn't even know where the saddle is? he pointed to the nut!
Here in sweden the guitarword "nut" and the guitarword "bridge" are "översadel" and "sadel" which would be "oversaddle" and "saddle" in directly translated english.
So maybe theres similar words in germany and they've mixed the two words up somehow. I know I do sometimes when I talk about guitars in swedish.
Was für ein Blödsinn...
Why buy a guitar with shit in it?
