It's a zinger. Somewhere between a Martin 0001xae and a Taylor GS Mini.
Tried both in a local shop. The Martin was nice but a bit brash - the Taylor was quality but felt like a toy and was a bit tinny.
The CLA28VE is not as bright or loud as the Martin but then I wanted something less brash. It is more substantial than the Taylor and sounds a lot better too.
Very comfortable to play even with the wider nut. The size suits me as I'm 5'9" Looks like an expensive guitar too. And the smell...
Will onlyvsound better soon because I'll play the hell out of it starting tomorrow.
Seems a perfect guitar for a singer/ songwriter.
Love it!

Oh and the other 2 guitars I mentioned are more than £600 each. I would rate the HB at least equal if not better tham both. Pickup is better as well.
Another guitar I can gig and record with for less than £250. Amazing value. Glad I'm not a headstock snob and that I discovered HB

Very nice, dodger !!! It even has that herringbone trim Martins are known for Did you get a matching case or is that the one you already had for your CLD-41SCE?
