You Get What You Pay For - Defective Pot and Low Quality Nut
wsomar 18.03.2022
The Good ~ 1. A nice price point compared to other electric nylon options. 2. The finish is very nice. I did not experience any problems with the faux f-holes that other reviewers have noted.
The Bad ~ 1. Saddle is a bit tall, making the action a bit high. Seems like it can be taken down without buzzing. 2. The low-E and high-E strings were wound on the tuners backwards and both strings rubbed and caught against the outer walls of the tuner slots.
The Ugly ~ 1. The treble control fell off. The knob came off with the pot stem still connected, leaving a hole that looks like a mini-jack where the control used to be. This is unacceptable. 2. The nut is made out of soft plastic and the slots were not wide enough for the strings. This resulted in the strings digging into their slots and seizing to the point were turning the tuner would stretch the string between the tuner and the nut.
(Too bad I cannot post pictures here)
I emailed Thomann but have not heard back. I am in the US so I think returning this guitar will be a small nightmare.

This is only a fair guitar.
sjbrn1 14.11.2019
I have had this Nashville for about a month. I find it very disappointing that it is not hollow body. It is very heavy and much to quiet unless plugged into an amp. It doesn’t sit well on your leg to play, it tends to slide off your leg. Sound quality unplugged is non-existent. Mine came with a distorting piezo pickup. I am waiting for a replacement from HB. I did replace the defective piezo and had some improvement in the sound quality. The finger board is wide like a nylon should be. After lowering the action, it plays well. The sound electly is only passable. So far its a very tinny sound and requires a boost with the bass. It looks very good and plays well. The sound leaves much to be desired. Hoping for improvement with an intact piezo. So far i would not recommend this guitar to a friend.

Good enough, just.
Johnguitars 07.08.2017
I bought this a few months ago as the aches and pains of old age have caught up with me and I find a full size guitar body does not suit me any more. This guitar feels like a Les Paul with a wider neck. The sound quality is acceptable with the bass turned full up and the treble nearly off. There is therefore not much scope in the tone department. The 'f' holes are clumsy and an eyesore at close range. One side was well cut but the other only partially so. The action was optimistically low which resulted in buzzing around the 10th fret so I had to fit a higher saddle. The rear end of the bridge is not glued properly and you can slip a piece of paper underneath it. That said the bridge is secure and although this would be a major problem on an acoustic, on a solid you can get away with it. With hind sight I should have probably sent it back. It might be a good idea for Thomann staff to check the instruments before dispatching them.

Nice Looking but lack of string volume ballance
BB Express 30.06.2022
Quick delivery. Nice looking and playing guitar. But when plugged the sound of D string was drastically less than other 5 strings. Therefore, I immidiately rejected the guitar, asked for full refund due to the fault and posted it back to Thomann. I have had good gear from Thomann on all my previous orders but this one turned out duff.
I am now having to wait 2 weeks to get my refund. However, Thomann were apologetic and asked me to give them another chance. I did by ordering a ESP Ltd TL6C Nylon string thin line guitar that I am waiting for now. Let's keep good will on both sides, one bad apple does not mean the whole barrel of appls is bad.

Good value for money, but far from perfect
Heliocardio 03.01.2023
This instrument is exceptionally good for its price. The neck feels good enough and the sound is especially great. Perfect to practice silently while unplugged, and the timbre is beautiful when plugged in. The guitar stays in tune easily which is very pleasant. The only thing I couldn't get over is the awful finish inside the fake hollow body holes - the wood is rough and bumpy, and the black paint comes off just by brushing it with a fingernail. I had to resort to a black sharpie to make it look half decent. All in all, a real bargain, but stay away from it if you value the aesthetics of your instrument.
