Thomann guitar manufactured by (http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann.)
Mahogany laminated button?

UTILIZATION

I bought it for an extra guitar, I will not be afraid to carry around and risk damaging, given the price.

SOUNDS

I t surprised enjoyable because it sounds good (and still quite powerful despite a shallow box), except the low E string in the 2nd box (also on a control deuxime for a friend, but a change of a nut or filing of the corresponding freight should rgler this little problem). I play in standard tuning and open tuning (r mi ...) or is efficient enough that the action of the strings is not too low (but not too high not to play in standard tuning. ..).

In gnral, good balance, with low but not super powerful Submitted.

OVERALL OPINION

I find the handle trs enjoyable (satinn the rear) and j'tais his rception, blown away by the relative quality of the instrument price (currently 39 euro) .

Although sr, we must see how it will age and I am pessimistic on this point given the price of the instrument and matrial employees, but I do not much risk: at worst it will end on the wall for décor and waiting to have the budget for a martin ... it serves me well. I did not put a good 10 but 9 for the report quality price!

PS there are other models Harley Benton acoustic suprieurs with a price (60 euro, 100 euro, 150 ... but I did not try).

Satin finish, contreplaqubr />
The finish is honest for the price. 39 euros all the same! Is given

UTILIZATION

I use this guitar for non-standard tunings (open tunings and other tunings invented by panies such as Nick Drake and Mark Kozelek ...)
The handle is fairly comfortable but pais, playable on the other hand key! ale, a horror, I do not even know if it's wood ... try to bend the one above, ca sound as if the button was not smooth! Ramna sander Maurice!

SOUNDS

The sound card is pretty but not dsagrable, are very low as Submitted on many non-massive, the sound will seem like a draft or boiled in a strumming Enjou but remains coutable, fingers in the game is okay but it...…

OVERALL OPINION

For 39 euros, you can not do a lot better, bring the beach (watch the sun anyway), take the street, people will not tell you that your guitar is zero, a Guitar point bar! but it did nothing special ... My main motivation was tired Does the price and change tunings on one guitar, now I have two and it is less restrictive!

Instrument made in Eastern countries, I would go for China.
Made for Thomann, German store sales by VPC (https://www.thomann.de/). Sold € 39 or € 49 with a nice gigbag, practical and very well made (this is the option I chose).

Folk guitar, set neck, 21 frets. The body is in an unusual wood and is varnished in plastic. In short, the look is not her best asset. The key is a bit grainy, the bends a little squeak it. But at that price, you can not expect something non-standard!

But it has its charm, and it is fast: D

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable to play, the guitar is light, it handles well and is well balanced. No problem on that side.

SOUNDS

First note, and that the drama ... Sound a little deaf and cardboard ... Then it continues, one tames the beast and finally got used to it. It becomes even relatively pleasant. The sound is powerful for such a small object, and you play the more you love! Truly stunning!

But beware, the instrument is delivered without any adjustment, so small passage required by the box maker. By the way, enjoy up to "real" strings.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been 4 months now and I appreciate it more.

His distinctive sound is actually a plus for her, but be careful, do not expect a concert guitar. It is a great instrument to start (which was my case), and even more than excellent from your banker: D. It égalment accomplish its task if you are looking for an extra instrument special settings (as in previous opinions) or that you are tired to walk around with a piece of jewelry in the back on a Saturday night in a dodgy area. ..

I would do this choice without any hesitation.

Thomann Guitar Made in! (Thus German brand)
Type Apx

UTILIZATION

The handle is simple, I will not say nice because for 39 euros qd ... should not even ask for the moon! on the other hand I expected to receive a guitar slightly larger (like normal folk), and well ... it is smaller as my yamaha APX5 (between 3 / 4 and 4 / 4).

SOUNDS

With the strings of the background sound is not dégueux to play on the beach or around a campfire in the woods (for the price, we can not hesitate to use an umbrella).

OVERALL OPINION

I received it today so I can not give objective opinion ... but to say that the first impression is a good scratch (I repeat "value").
It sounds even worse than qd...…

It sounds even worse than qd arts and violin entry level but ... for violin and arts, we bought 8 Hartley Benton.
So finally if you vs 39 euros to fuck up in a product that provides DARK!
