Thomann Classic Guitar S 4/4 4-stars Reviews

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.

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!

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.

Good quality for the price.

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

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.

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.

Amazing for the price; decent compared to others.

This is a great budget classical guitar.

Pros:

Good finishing.

Decent features.

Good fret job.

Tuners work well.

Cons:

Factory strings are quite poor and don't tune well.

Action was way too high out the box (was quickly fixed with a file).

Overall, a good starter classical guitar.
