Hello,
Before I bought my guitar, I searched for information on Thomann and YouTube. I stopped the following model, but I did not understand why the information different...
on Thomann guitar is craft from Walnut on YouTube guitar is craft from Rosewood
So from last week I have actual model Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-41S WN, but today I understant why have differents... I understand CITES, but not and Thomann. Selling one model from deferred wood and don‘t have discription for this one after previous model from Rosewood is discontinued. Really so unbelievable situation

It is true that sometimes there are discrepancies with Thomann's product descriptions. With this guitar the description is currently showing that it has a walnut body. Walnut can have deep swirly patterns or it can be rather plain to look at and for this it is not always easy is to determine with an untrained eye. However, you are unhappy because you received the guitar built with rosewood back and sides and you expected walnut? You have the option to return the guitar but does it play well? Any other problems?

All the rosewood backs and sides on HB acoustics have been replaced by walnut since CITES. Similar springy hard tonewood but probably not as well regarded as rosewood. How does the guitar sound?

You are damn right, gospodin Ivanov! Thomann own us an explanation about this exchange of wood I suppose. My CLD-41 is made in the middle of the exchanging process and thats why it has a rosewood outside layer and WN interior layer of plywood. What wood is used on intermediate layer we never got to know. Walnut is not as good as rosewood or maple Never! Thats why I bought a Sigma DRC-41, see my picks and review in topic of other brands. Youtube video is probably created earlier than the exchange of the wood took place, but did I got you right - you expected a walnut but received a rosewood guitar? If that way, you are very lucky guy!

Hello Really it's not model with Rosewood It's Walnut. I think buying Rosewood guitar but yesterday I understand why it's not. I looking previous buy this video and another one for review My situation is a misunderstanding... For the guitar Harley Benton Custom Line CLD-41S WN. Look great, sound Is good for people who like Walnut, but I feel little low from Harley Benton D-120CE BK For me is preferred Rosewood because I feel best this wood and I use guitar for my new productions
