I like talking down the pub too...as long as the conversation is convivial. I tend to treat this forum as a pub conversation. Doesn't suit everyone though, "Stick to the point, man." I wouldn't want to be in a pub like that. Hell no! Yep DefJef - I like how we can go off on a tangent and no-one is typing in capitals. This is defo a pub atmosphere forum. Anyway - I'll play my EJ160e for a while - it just looks so good! But then that new HB looks perfect too - love the green tuning pegs - same as the EJ. Still deciding whether to just get someone to move the fishman sonitone from my old Gibson Jumbo copy to the Epi - might do that instead...

Hi everybody! I write from Italy, and this is my first post. I bought the HB clj 45 last saturday (it's my first Harley Benton), and now I'm waiting for delivery. I bought it without knowing anything about, but I fell in love the since the first time I saw it on Thomann. So i risked. When it will be in my hands, I will write again, and I will post some photos (maybe something played with it). Sorry for my english. Bye

Thank you, dodger! I'm not a professional, and I don't know how much it could be helpful a youtube review. But anyway I'll do something.

HB looks even better than Sigma... more glamourous.Really beautiful guitar. It's very nice Dodger, if somebody from us would take the risk and check this new guitar on himself first, then others will know, worth it to buy or not As Che did, ask him about CL-Superior (Hummingbird rip - off) or as I did with CLD-30 (don't even think about it).

Guitar is now home with me. I think is a beautiful instrument for the price, and I think it sounds nice. To my ears it seems very well balanced and perfectly intonated. It looks also very well finished, better than I hoped. However, at least for me, it is a difficult guitar to play. I don't know if because of the strings, the action or the fretboard material, but I have to use a lot more strength than usual to play. I own other 6 guitars, low and medium price instruments, and with none of these I make so much effort to play. Therefore my judgment is currently suspended, waiting to find a solution to the problem. In the meantime, place a couple of pictures of the guitar and a sound clip of the same. https%3A//soundcloud.com/user-396428288/prova-hb-amplificata

Yes DefJef, they are 5 acoustics and 1 hollow body. I use on every guitar 0.12 light strings, bronze or phosphor bronze. I will try to change the strings, and see what happens, because the action is a bit high, but the same as my Sigma DMR-1ST. The biggest problem seems to be the smoothness on the neck.

I think all the things together, DefJef. First of all, however, I'll change the strings
