Guitar contest: Prudencio Saez Mod. 1 vs. Harley-Benton CG-200 (see description)

A sound comparison between two classical guitars in different price ranges.
First: Prudencio Saez Mod. 1 (350 EUR, the black one)
Second: Harley-Benton CG-200 (35 EUR, the red one)

As expected, the cheap instrument came with terrible strings and I equipped both guitars with my favorite strings Pirazzi 583030 Studio Classics Extra High Tension (P.583030) so the comparison is best possible.

The red CG-200 is not bad for one tenth of the price of the black one! It is a present for Madita but before that I am taking it on holidays to play it myself :)

do you need to push really hard on the strings on the cg-200 or does the strings lay fairly close to the fretboard ?

@batmayn123

the string action was ok after unboxing but after I rasped the bridge a little it was nearly perfect.

ave you played harley benton steel string for 40 euro or someting?

Do you think those make decent toys for hanging out outdoors or is the quality ven that bad

Sound Quality is not the only one subject to compare. What about lifetime or materials quality or design etc. ?
