2020s Harley Benton CLJ-412E Jumbo 12-String Guitar

Overview: Harley Bentons provide a lot of value for their price. This one is clearly a take on a Guild jumbo 12-string and features upscale trim with big pearl block inlay in the fretboard. The top is solid spruce and the overall fit, finish, and build is pretty good. The setup was kind-of lousy when I saw it the first time, but it dialed-in just fine with little fuss and has remained stable since then.


Repairs included: It's had a quick setup and is playing spot-on and ready to serve.
