Good guitar for the price range
Torpedoswap 12.05.2020
This guitar definitely gives you more than what you pay for. It is has a full & voluminous tone however on the other hand, the sound is high bass where tone differentiation suffers a bit. I found it easier to play Spanish style finger picking & manoeuvring the fret board as compared to my nicer guitar but again, there was too much bass for my liking and it would not differentiate notes as good as my other guitar. For a beginner, this is definitely more than a starter guitar & great value for money.

Great beginner instrument
CEKMusic 31.05.2023
This is one of the world's top-selling beginner guitars. It's nicely built, nicely priced. I own two of these, one with pickup and one without. Thrilled!

Good for the money but
Giorgos F. 20.03.2026
This is my first classical guitar in decades. In the meantime I have had a few dreadnoughts including a Gibson, a Godin and a Cort, covering a range of 300-3000 euros roughly. Now, this one is half the price of my cheapest guitar. Here are my thoughts. Sound and setup for a 150€ instrument is fine. I could ever so slightly lower the saddle but definitely not necessary. It’s a lot of fun having a decently sounding cheap instrument on the couch for generic practice or just to catch your inspiration when it’s happening.

Manufacturing wise, I already returned one back to Thomann as there was a bit of wood that had chipped and some randomly spilt glue near the sound hole, The replacement I got was actually a bit worse πŸ˜… as it was somewhat dirty in the headstock and near the saddle and looked unfinished in the interior part of the headstock. The strings appeared to have been played with as there were bits with a very slight de colouration.

Truth be told I would return this one too, but I thought the return process was not great here in the Netherlands as I would have to take a tram carrying the rather big box around or even spend 15€ on a taxi. And stay without an instrument for 15 days.

Very good Sound!
Ameyah 27.03.2026
Thats my 2nd acoustic Guitar! I really like the sound and that you can connect it with your audio interface and dont need to worry about a battery.

The strings feel very good and tunning is easy with an app, the sound is very clean.

I used a SSL2+, Kirlin (Instrument SA Cable 3m) to connect to DAW. (popping is you have the gain on the guitar to high.)

Would buy again!

Overall very good balance between quality and price
Lex Lyfestorm 24.05.2023
I had previously had the chance to play the Yamaha CX40 II, while being an owner of an electroacoustic western Fender and I have to say I immediately fell in love with the sound of the CX40 II.

I finally just got mine today and it sounds surprisingly well for its price. I am very happy with it and would recommend it highly!
