If you're looking for a beginner guitar or an electro acoustic model, Harley Benton's latest Custom Line instruments certainly look like a great option on paper.
The Thomann brand are offering the cutaway CLD-60SCE is Black or Natural gloss finishes, with built-in preamp and tuner.
The top is solid spruce and the back and sides are laminate mahogany. The neck is mahogany, with a roseacer fretboard (that's thermally treated maple).
The model also features scalloped x-bracing to improve the movement of the guitar's soundboard (top) and enhance bass response.
The onboard is the Harley Benton HB-03 preamp with integrated tuner and three-band EQ as well as volume control.
