This Harley Benton 12-string is a seriously impressive value. The solid top provides a surprisingly full sound, and the Fishman electronics are a genuine boon for gigging. It's a great option for players looking for a big, resonant 12-string tone without the premium price tag – just be prepared for the slightly higher playing tension.

CONS

  • • 12-string construction demands higher action and more finger strength.
  • • Adamus strings are serviceable but a worthwhile upgrade for optimal tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a solid, reliable system with a good EQ range; it's not a boutique preamp, but it's far above what you'd typically find in this price bracket and provides clean, amplified sound.
The neck is a standard 'C' shape, which is generally comfortable, but the 48mm nut width of a 12-string might feel a little wider than usual. It's worth trying before buying if possible.
The craftsmanship is surprisingly good; the multi-ply binding is well-executed, and the overall construction feels solid. It won't match a high-end instrument, but the value for money is exceptional.
