Astounding value!
Kornflakes 05.02.2015
Hi folks, first off i'd like to say I recommended this guitar to two of my guitar students....I was so impressed with it that I bought one for myself. I mean an all solid tone wood guitar for under £70, thats just crazy! But hey its a truly great bargain. I topped mine off with a solid hard guitar case and a clip on guitar tuner and still only had to part with £110.

I figure this will be my travel guitar. In terms of my other guitar reference points I own a Yamaha CG201S (all solid wood) and I also owned a Kenneth Roberts Luthier built guitar that cost £4000. I also have a Classical Guitar Diploma so here is my review-

The build quality is really nice, the top has a close grain solid spruce top and solid maple back & sides. I figure this will open up nicely over the years and develop into a really nice mature tone. The maple neck and beech fretboard feel absolutely solid, I can't imagine the neck warping as it feels very heavy perhaps slightly heavier than it should be.

Cosmetics, 9/10 there was one minor blemish on the neck but not sufficient to return the guitar to Thomann. The guitar is very young so its hard to judge its tonal qualities at this stage. Spruce ages very well so I have high hopes that this guitar will open up nicely in a couple of years time and continue to develop.

The tuners appear slightly improved on this model? In conclusion Thomann have a guitar that is built in Europe and with all solid wood construction, how can they make these for under £70 and with such attention to detail and intonation as well as a nicely balanced sound across all strings? It makes no sense so I say go buy one now before they sell out, you won't regret it.

Amazing guitar deal
Roy4495 16.04.2017
I've been playing for decades and I do a lot of lutherie in my spare time. I own a nice Martin and have had Rickenbackers, Deerings, Fenders and other big brands that cost a lot. I've also made my own. But this is one of the best deals I know of. The sound is wonderful. You get not only a solid top, but an all-solid guitar, put together accurately for under 100¤. The fingerboard is beech wood rather than ebony or rosewood (which are not good to harvest if we want forests in Africa), the sides are male instead of mahogany. The sound is deep and the sustain is wonderful. They skimped on the right things, the things that don't affect the sound: no headstock veneer, decal rosette instead of inlaid wood, no fancy binding, no veneer on the heel, no inlay on the bridge. The tuners are very good - not amazing, but not cheapos. The saddle and the nut are plastic, which could be better. I changed the saddle to bone, but even before it sounded great. I thought I would check it out, see if I'm really interested in playing more classical, and then get a serious one, but I'm not getting rid of this one. I would seriously doubt this baby would fail a blind sound test against guitars that are 5 or 10 times the price. Maybe I'm wrong, but for 95¤ there is no reason to hesitate.

Classical guitar Thomann S 4/4
Andre Love 26.04.2023
Review of classical guitar Thomann S 4/4

Pros:

Build Quality: The guitar has excellent build quality, with all parts aligned well and securely fastened. The tool looks and feels strong and durable.

Factory Tuned: The guitar came factory tuned, saving me the time and effort of tuning. All strings were in the correct position, allowing you to start playing immediately. The strings have a fairly low action, which makes it easier to play and reduces the strain on the fingers.

Lacquer finish: The guitar has a beautiful lacquer finish that gives it an elegant appearance.

Strings: The guitar comes with strings that provide great sound and a comfortable playing feel.

Sound: The guitar has a wonderful sound that is rich and full of overtones. It produces clean and bright sounds, making it the perfect choice for beginners and experienced guitarists alike.

Customer Service: Customer service at thomann.de was professional and responsive. Issues were dealt with promptly and in detail, and my needs were met.

Minuses:

The delivery was two weeks late, not the fault of the store, but the fault of the local delivery service: The delivery of the guitar took longer than expected due to problems with the local delivery service. Although it was not Thomann's fault, it was still worth the inconvenience and the wait.
Overall, the Thomann S 4/4 classical guitar proved to be an excellent choice. The best guitar for the price

Very happy with my sons new 4/4
Totil 11.08.2023
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.

So much guitar for so little money
Hogbelly Simm 25.07.2022
I had bought a couple of Harley Benton guitars from Thomann and had always had excellent customer service and a great quality product so when I decided it was time to buy a classical guitar I had to choose Thomann. I looked at numerous makes of all solid wood guitar but most of them were outside of my budget and then I saw the Thomann Classic Guitar S 4/4 which with a case was priced at £167.30, an incredible price for an all solid guitar. As Thomann had a 30 day return guarantee I could try it and return it if I wasn't satisfied with it. It arrived within a few days and what a surprised it was. The combination of a solid spruce top and a solid maple back and sides give the guitar excellent tone and projection with bright ringing trebles and booming basses. Intonation is pretty accurate as well. I replaced the stock saddle which unless it was filed down quite a bit made the action a little high. Once I had replaced it with a graphtech saddle the guitar was ready to sing. It's fairly obvious that to get a guitar with an all solid body some of the refinements would be missing and all in all it's a fairly plain guitar with no adornments but that's pretty irrelevant when you consider what you get for your money, an all solid guitar that will only improve in tone and projection the more it's played. So if you're looking for a good quality cheaper guitar buy this. You won't be disappointed.

Great Classical Guitar!
Photosergio 11.11.2021
It is really a good product. All solid wood. Sound is good, much better than my Fender classical guitar. Although I do not have any complaints, I believe that this guitar is good basis for an upgrade, so I have already bought (from Thomann) bone nut and bone saddle, quality strings (Savarez 500 ARJ Alliance Corum). I will make those small upgrades soon and believe that this very good guitar will be even better.
IMHO Every guitarist should have classical nylon guitar at least for practising fingerpicking technique. With this good and affordable guitar it is achievable for everybody.

This guitar was my first product I ordered from Thomann...I was curious to prove, because in its specifications said this guitar made in europe with solid wood for top, bottom and sides...which for its price its almost unbelievable...

but its true, it came to me with all things mentioned in its specification, and its sound great...

In the paper inside the guitar body write that this guitar made by Gewa, which later I found in internet that this company also made some others instrument with some famous brands...

I change the tuners just to make it more eye catching with some gold tuners...I also change the saddle and nut with cow bone that I buy online for around 5 euro...and its sounds betters...

I just can understand how they can made and sell this guitar with low price...

Truly Outstanding Value
KenR 18.06.2021
This guitar is an astounding value. Thomann shipped it from Germany to me in the USA. It took only three days, and the guitar arrived in great condition. Thomann's customer service is excellent, and everything arrived as promised with no surprise customs fees or anything like that.

I replaced the stock plastic saddle for a bone one, but that's all the setup that I did. I checked the intonation, it was solid. The sound is very warm with a buttery midrange, it has a richness that's without parallel for a guitar at this price point. It is quite playable right out of the box, once the strings have a chance to settle in at the proper tension. The stock strings aren't bad, either. Some have felt that the action is too high, but I found it to be the rather standard string height that you find on classical guitars. They do string 'em high in this realm. All you need is a bit of sandpaper to sand down the bottom of the bridge if you want to lower it, though.

It seems like this is too good to be true and I'm waiting for a catch. But there isn't one! I'm trying to think of a "con." I guess some have not liked the tuners -- but they function just fine. I don't plan to replace them. Yes, the maple sides and back aren't that boldly grained in appearance. But they are pleasing! My guitar happens to have a very nice grain pattern in the back of the neck, and also on a place on the back.

This thing met and exceeded every expectation I had. Yes, it is not a concert classical guitar, but for a student or intermediate guitar it is wonderful. It should only get better with age as the solid wood opens up! For this price it blows my mind.

a great guitar
Samuli P. 16.12.2013
This time I was looking for a affordable classic guitar and so I spent some time searching for the best option. This guitar caught my eye while browsing thomann's website, and so I decided to take a risk and just buy it right away. The guitar is made in europe and has a solid spruce top, which seems a bit too much for a guitar in this price range.

When the package arrived, I instantly noticed that the guitar had no thomann branding and was instead made by Gewa. The guitar was quite light and was comfortable to hold and not as big as some of my dreadnaught guitars. The guitar had some minor problems: The guitar's finish wasn't done perfectly and the frets weren't as smooth as I would like them to be, but how much can you expect from a 90 euro guitar?
The sound of the guitar is suprisingly good for its price, probably because it has a solid spruce top and, to much suprise, augustine strings attached! The sound is warm and mellow and the sound projection is really great. The strings were on the right height, perfect for classical fingerpicking.

I would recommend this guitar for people who want a cheap classical guitar, and only care about the sound quality, instead of impeccable style, look and finish. No wonder this guitar sells so well on Thomann, the guitar is simply what I and others were looking for.
