Harley Benton - CLD-15CE - Exotic

With their powerful, rich sound and excellent projection, our dreadnought guitars give you a superb playing experience. The exquisite tone woods used here not only look amazing, but each bring advantages for the sound: lush mahogany tones are paired with the mid-range focus and brightness of the top crafted from solid Koa selected for its a rippling flame. Our CLD-15CE makes that huge sound eminently playabale, too, with a smooth pau ferro fingerboard and a comfortable Venetian cutaway. The high-quality electronics reproduce every nuance of your playing, making this a powerhouse of great tones for recording, live playing or whiling away an evening at home playing your new acoustic guitar.

Yes a comperison would be great!

[@ericktheone]

Please do a comparison video between dreadnought vs auditorium. I'm ready to place my first order , just not sure which one to get 🙏

[@jaxplanner7282]

I prefer the Koa for the warmth and mid range, Java a little too trebly for me, the same reason I prefer Martin over Taylor, it’s all about preference

[@guitarzleo]

They are both beauties and they sound lovely!
The Am arpeggio you played with the java-top reminded me of "Hell's bells" intro!😝
Of course it progressed differently later!

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

hahah, we took the melody and changed it chords :)

[@2ES_]

hi there! nice demo as always! i would like to know how much is the "body depth"? i guess about 11-12cm? wait your kindly reply . greetings!

[@PooNinja]

That Java is hot like Lava 🤘🏽 but that Koa is a real showa
I’d like to see a headless electric with a floating trem 🙏🏽🤗. But an acoustic battle of the bigness sounds cool too.

[@checkmate8955]

Wow I love the java. Sounds brighter and looks..just stunning.

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Glad you like it!

[@Kevindragon789]

Yes A comparison of the different styles would be great 👍

[@nikkisknix]

I actually thought the intro strum was going into street spirit (fade out) by Radiohead very remenicent of it.

[@freiabereinsam-]

Hahaa I just thought the same! The first three notes were exactly the same :D

[@brankobida9229]

My favorite is Koa,but Java looks nice,both guitars sounds good and one day Koa will be mine.

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Good choice! Let us know what you think once you got it :)

[@francescofusca4466]

Koa version best sound, java best look.

[@gabrielthurnher]

lefty koa version please! :)

[@yetimatzenightcat8702]

Both guitars sound great but the Java sounds classy 👍❤
🐈

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

It does! Great low end and pristine high end!

[@camillovonkralitz2067]

Are both guitars all solid, or Java has only solid top? Both guitars look very good and sound is awesome.

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Only the Top is solid!

[@stephanematis]

Lovely. And yes please, I'd like to see and hear the Exotics in context of sizes. Thanks

[@martyndormer]

I have a Seagull which I bought in 1995 and have used for many gigs. Nowadays I am an electric rock and roll player soI have no need for another acoustic. But if I did, I couldn’t decide between these two beauties and would have to buy them both; one would make wonderful ornament on the wall…

[@letspat6498]

Java beautyful💜❤

[@PeteAxeShields]

Stunners Benedict and beautifully demoed, as ever.

One "riff" sounds almost exactly like "Hells Bells" by "AC/DC

[@nikkmorse]

[@rickywaterman1963]
