This Harley Benton CLO-70SR is a serious contender for players seeking a full-sized orchestra-style acoustic with a lot of sonic character. The solid top and Sonokeling back/sides create a surprisingly mature tone, and the dovetail neck joint adds a touch of class. It's perfect for intermediate players or anyone wanting a well-built, affordable instrument with a big sound.

Frequently Asked Questions

The build quality is surprisingly good; the attention to detail, like the dovetail neck joint and ebony bridge pins, rivals instruments costing significantly more.
The 'smooth C' profile is generally comfortable, but those with very large hands might find it a touch narrow; it’s best to try before you buy if possible.
The Sonokeling back and sides add warmth and a slightly darker tonal character compared to a purely spruce guitar, creating a more rounded and balanced sound.
