This Harley Benton is a seriously impressive nylon-string, especially considering the price point. The Fishman electronics make it stage-ready, and the slim neck will feel comfortable even if you’re used to steel-string guitars. It’s perfect for students, gigging musicians, or anyone wanting a quality amplified nylon without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Fishman Sonicore/VTB combo is surprisingly capable, offering a clean amplified tone suitable for quieter acoustic gigs, though it won’t deliver high-gain distortion.
The Comfort U profile is generally accommodating, with a 23.5mm thickness at the 12th fret – it’s slimmer than many traditional classical guitars and should suit a wide range of hand sizes.
The build quality is very good for the price, with solid wood construction and a well-fitted neck, though the finish may not be as flawless as a high-end instrument.
