Harley Benton Custom Line N-150CE NT
Harley Benton’s Custom Line N-150CE NT is a Mini Jumbo acoustic resonator model made with a Sapele body, which has a cutaway design for better upper fret access. The guitar features an Okoume U-shape neck, with a Purple Heart fretboard and 20 medium jumbo frets, plus a set of ABS dot inlays. It also has ABS body and neck binding which complement the aesthetic nicely.
Rising P3004
This model incorporates the Rising P3004 Mini Humbucker neck pickup controlled by a simple volume and tone control layout. Allowing players to play either acoustically, or amplified, which makes it a versatile resonator for the price.
Cone
It uses a JM-02 Cone paired with a Spider JM-03 that has a maple bridge and comes with a set of DLX Die-Cast tuners. All the hardware is chrome and the Natural Matt finish for this model looks great.
Great Value
Overall, it offers guitarists a lot of bang for the buck, and I’m guessing it will fingerpick and slide nicely with the standard D’Addario YB-EXP16 strings, though you may want to go heavier with the gauge for some open tunings.
It is super affordable and potentially a great entry into the world of acoustic resonator guitars. Especially, as it includes a pickup as standard, which makes it even more versatile. Just tune it to DADGAD and pretend you are Jimmy Page!
