Great beginner guitar - bright sound and beautiful to look at.
I'm a beginner guitar player and i wanted a decent guitar that i would love to learn and improve my skills. I initially we to a store to play multiple guitars and see what would work for me before ordering one. my rating is based on nearly 8 months of use of this guitar (5 days a week, 45 minutes per day of playing).
1. playability - This was the main criteria for me as a beginner, i used to have a lot of difficult in changing chords and moving quickly between frets with my old cheap guitar. I realized that the setup on this guitar was much better and lower, the neck is thinner and feels more comfortable in the hands making it easy to move around the fretboard.
2. Sound - The guitar sounds really bright and feels nice to the ears. the guitar stays in tune even when i don't play for a few days (holidays). The original strings are not rusted and dull even after 8 months of playing but i do take a bit of care like i wash hands before playing, I apply GHS fast fret before and after playing and always keep the guitar in the case.
3. Look and feel - The triple sunburst color is amazing. It simply shines in comparison to single color options and the pick guard helps keep the scratches away from the body.
4. the guitar came with a really nice hard case - which itself would be over a 100 Euros. The case is strong and can protect the guitar from most dings and small falls. It also has a storage box that can hold a set of strings, plectrums, string winder and fast fret for me.
5. Features: The guitar comes with a built-in pickup and tuner. I have not tested the pickup as I do not have an amp to test the pickup yet. The tuner works accurately when compared to a standard clip-on tuner.
6. build quality: the Guitar seems to be built well and had no noticeable imperfections for me. The packaging / shipping was also good.
Overall, If you are a beginner or an intermediate player, I would think this guitar would be really good to buy. It seems to be priced higher than most other guitars but considering the fact that the guitar has a solid wood top(spruce) and neck (Mahagony) and a walnut fretboard it falls into the intermediate quality guitars. Since it also comes with a hard case, it's a good deal. I considered this as an investment for learning and loving to play an instrument and paying a little extra is probably going to pay itself over the years.

This instrument really a good choice, beautiful sound, very-very comfortable neck- which is important for me. And all the guitar attracts not only the ears but the eyes, too. My only remark: there is a misleading and incomplete information on Thomann wb site: It is wriiten : "Back and sides: Ovangkol, laminated" I guess the real material is mahagony (if I look inside the body) - but in fact I am still not sure. You can understand Thomann desciption: Ovangkoll wood which is laminated .. with something lacquer, foil or something bright. Dear Thoman, please clearify it. Thank you.
