A review and comparison of four budget acoustic guitars under 150 euros: the Fender CD-60, Yamaha F310 NT, Harley Benton HB Custom Line CLD-10S NSG, and Orangewood Ray. The review concludes that while all four are playable, the Orangewood Ray stands out as the best overall choice due to its balance and rosette detail.

What it concludes

All four budget guitars fall well within the playable spec out of the box.
The Harley Benton plays a little lighter than the competition but suffers from string buzzing in the upper registers.
The Yamaha and the Fender sound most alike, with the Yamaha being slightly more open and fuller.
The Orangewood Ray stands out as the best overall choice due to its balance and rosette detail, despite a slightly boring tone.
