Thomann Classic Guitar S 4/4 Reviews

Very happy with my sons new 4/4

My 12 year old is taking guitar lessons. We have been using the same 3/4 guitar that I bought for him on is 6th birthday. Delivery from Germany to Iceland took about a week, I hardly noticed. The instrument came with strings and was in perfect condition. My boy does of course notice the difference in sound volume from a 3/4.

Value for money

The playing feel is average although the sound is very full. For that price, it is very easy to put an embedded mic into the guitar. But because it is a solid top, it is worth it. The tuning drops frequently as it usually happens in a classical guitar. Hence the requirement of an in-situ tuner is even more necessary.

Very poor quality

Poor quality, gets out of tune every 5 minutes which is very frustrating. Huge disappointment for this amount of money...

Massive tone for the price!

I had it for less than 24h, but I think I already can say it was a great deal!

Pros: Tone, good looking wood, will probably age well, no edges from the frets.

Cons: I don't see any trussroad and it makes the neck far rom the strings at 12th fret. The binding is a bit unevenly polished, but its doesn't affect the sound, so I actiolly don't care!

Overall: Get yourself some nylon massive guitar, your finger and soul will do the rest!

Terrible quality control

The guitar looks good, however I order the first one it came with buzz fret problem in many strings. I asked for a replacement, they sent me another with the same problem in G string 4th fret. So I gave up, it is like gambling you may get a good guitar, I wasn't the lucky one.

Amazing for the price range

Very nice sounding acoustic guitar. Great basses and high details with the solid top. The scale and frets are also very nice and the octaves came from the store perfectly tuned. I have played for 2 weeks and the only downside that I noticed is that the tuning pegs don't keep the instrument tuned for a long time. It is difficult to find something better within that price.

Very good at this price point

I was surprised to see that you could buy a EU made solid wood classical guitar for under €200 and so after reading some reviews I made my order.

The quality of the fit and finish of this guitar is very good. Not absolutely perfect but definitely acceptable for this price. Mine has a small black mark under the varnish and the grain of the wood has some imperfections but I actually like this because it makes my guitar individual to me. These things are very minor and do not affect the playability or sound in any way.

I read a number of reviews mentioning the action was too high but in all honesty it is perfectly normal for a classical guitar. People coming from electrics might find it too high but classical players won't have a problem with it. I will lower it slightly because I play bossa nova and the constant barre chords can become fatiguing after a while.

The guitar has a very sweet balanced sound and I must say the Hanabach strings are great! In fact I am thinking of changing my other guitars to these strings. The trebles and mids are very musical and the bass notes aren't boomy like other classical guitars I've tried. It's a very good sounding guitar for latin styles where you are accompanying a vocalist but classical pieces sound good too. It's not the loudest guitar I've played but it projects well enough.

In summary it is a really great guitar and not just at this price. It is suitable for beginners and moderately experienced players too. In time I will probably change the plastic nut and saddle for better quality versions but it sounds very good straight out of the box.

Not playable

This was a very good instrument however it was unplayable. The bridge Saddle was way too high and needed to be adjusted. they said they would send me out a new saddle months ago and I have never received it..

Excellent

An absolute winner in the value for money category.

Great guitar

I have had this guitar for a while now and as time passes it gets better.

It's very well made and a joy to play.

Definately recommended

Dear Sir congratulations thta is very good guitar,

Gute Gitarre

Diese Gitarre klingt gut. Ich bin total zufrieden. Das einzige Problem sind die Saiten, die nicht so gut waren. Aber kann man ändern.

Good quality for the price.

four stars for the value and utility. Great suggestion for a beginner or occasional player.

Great Value

Very affordable, beautiful and good sounding.

Unbeatable at this price point.

Good for value and sound quality

The guitar is really good and it satisfies my need with a little amount of money. I would recommend it to anyone.

A great guitar, not just for starters

I bought this guitar since I never had a classical, only acoustic and electric guitars. It is Made in Europe, the wood has nice patterns (not flame maple top nice, but nice). Build quality seems legit so far, you can tell the neck is made from 3-4 different pieces but is sturdy. The sound is full and rich even with stock strings.

On the down side, the nut and the bridge need lowering as the action is way to high; the neck will definitely need to be adjusted but since I don't know how to do it provided there is no trussrod, I will pay a visit to a technician. Don't be scared; these are standard stuff that you do to a new guitar (unless they are included in the price).

Would recommend to anybody who is either a newbie or wants to try a classic guitar or wants a fine instrument to carry around without being worried if it gets a little beat-up.

For street and studying

Used this guitar in travels and other extreme conditions. Nothing happened, still looks like a new

Pros:

Very reliable and strong guitar.

Pleasant and tender sound turns ladies to romantic mood.

Effortless playing (after a few simple adjustments)

Cons:

Could be louder

General comment:

After few adjustments becomes a good classic guitar to play anywhere for fun.

Initial strings height is quite big but it can be easily adjusted by saddle polishing.

Stays in tune after 3 common songs

Perfect solution to learn how to play guitar

Good value for money

Nice sound also looks really nice.

An impressive first classical guitar

For those who aren't sure if classical guitar is for them, this inexpensive nylon-stringed guitar is a great place to start as the sound is excellent, fit and finish more than acceptable (hard to believe it is so inexpensive!) and should be enough to grow into for some time.

A great student guitar

This is a really nice guitar for students or as a spare. The sound is great - mine came with Hannabach 600 silver plated strings - and is well equipped to do its job. It's a budget guitar of course and so some of the nicer finishing touches are missing, but there is no comparison for the price. Two things to note. First, the body of the guitar is rather small and the whole thing is very light, so light that it felt a bit cheap until I played it. Second, the neck is quite wide and so fingering can be a bit of a stretch. However, overall I'm very happy and it would be my first choice for a budget guitar should I ever need another.
