This Harley Benton CLO-70ASR is a real surprise – a solid-wood orchestra guitar offering a lot of bang for your buck.

It’s a fantastic option for intermediate players or those wanting a full-bodied acoustic without a premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sonokeling is denser and slightly darker sounding than East Indian, offering a more focused midrange but potentially lacking some of the airy highs. It's a unique tonal character that many find pleasing.
The 'smooth C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 43mm nut width might feel a bit narrower than some prefer. It's best to try before buying if you have very large hands.
Absolutely. Scalloped bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in increased volume, projection, and a more dynamic response across the tonal spectrum.
