Thomann C-404 NT Set Reviews

Good fun

Went for the cheapest one as I was living in south Italy for a few months, and was surprised by the sound.

Superb quality for the money

Needed a guitar to be delivered somewhere I couldn't take mine, so went for this cheapie. Was really surprised at the quality at the price. Stars are given bearing the price in mind rather than in absolute terms. Small issue in that I found the strings a bit dull, and also they took days to get up to and keep pitch. I replaced them quite quickly with better ones. But you really can't have everything at this sort of price. The accessory pack is a bargain, a no-brainer to include. Take the set, add a set of strings - Daddario EJ45, or EJ43 if you like low tension - and a music stand, and you are off. Actually this set is a real service to the guitar community, a nice guitar for beginners, but not just for beginners. A little bit of setup work to bring the action down slightly would pay dividends for more advanced players, but not needed right away.

For the price, worth it.

I was surprised of the finish and sound of this guitar. It sounds better than you would expect and comes with decent strings.

No adjustments have been required to start playing, however the fingerboard is dry as hell and needs some lubrication. Hence the quality as 4 stars, otherwise it would be pretty perfect.

Frets are nice, no fret buzz also on higher notes/up the scale, no fret sprout.

The only negative thing so far has been the tuners - it loses the tuning rather quickly when playing, even after letting the guitar rest and re-tuning/adjusting the strings multiple times over the course of days. It does hold the tuning to a degree, however the real magical sound comes out only when pitch perfect. It's sad as I can make it through 1 song maximum and have to re-tune, so probably will be looking at the nut and tuners as an upgrade in the future.

The bundle is nice touch as well - the footrest is solid and tuner works nicely. Guitar bag is just your regular one, nothing fancy but does the job.

Overall, for the price this is a good quality instrument, which might need some minor adjustments if you are looking this as your main classical guitar.

A beginners recommended set

Altough the quality is not excelent it is according to the price paid. Sound OK. Ideal for beginners.

Excellent for beginners

As a fairly cheap set, I bought it on behalf of a student. It provides for everything. The guitar feels good, the case is descent, though too soft to keep forever, the tuner is easy to use, even for the first time.

Probably the guitar design not being fancy at all is what makes this so cheap, but I don't mind.

Excellent value for money

Given the price I'd give 5 stars to all areas. I'm using it as the readily available guitar in the house for songwriting and it's great. In fact as I live abroad, I might buy another one for my birthplace so I won't travel with it :)

Thas ok

Thats good product for the price

Bought it for a beginner

The guitar has enough quality, playability and sound for any beginner. I would not choose it for a school where several people should hand on it. Just like a personal instrument for a beginner is fair good. Once the person is sure of carring on the adventure of learning guitar, this can become a travelling one and a better one the main instrument. I would not say you get what you pay for in this case because you get much more of what you pay for. A worst Chinese guitar will cost you the same without gig bag and accessories. But do not expect a concert guitar for this price and you would be on the good track.

Reasonable price and quality

Very suitable for beginners, reasonable price, high efficiency

All basic accessories are available and can be used for a long time

High quality sound for this price! I recommend this item.
