This guitar is very simple one. It has no any special equipment on it, just basic strings etc.
Sound

The sound is good for the price I paid for it (39 euros). The sound is quite bright and crisp. But it sounds ok.

The finish is VERY nice, I wasn't expecting this kind of finish for this price! The stock is very solid and the neck is very smooth and feels nice.

This guitar is ment for beginners (I think so). It lasts well, but I have had this guitar only for ?? years now and it has been worth the price. I wouldn't perform live with this one, but it's perfect for camps or trips if you like playing guitar on holiday etc.

It must be 10! Finish is top for the price! Enough reliable! Sound is OK! And the finish is spectacular! I have been playing approximately a year now, I've owned only acoustic guitars, but I will buy electric when I have enough money.

It??s a OOO Steelstring with a satin mahagony finish. It came with a really good softcase as a "blues and folkguitar package". I like the form and the finish of this guitar. It looks vintage. The body is all laminated. It has a headstock and golden open tuners. The neck is thin. No electonics. 20 Frets with plastic dot inlays. Made in china or somewhere in asia. It gets sold from a internet shop named thomann in Germany.

The sound is very own. It sounds like these blues guitars you can hear in old tunes like from leadbelly. The sound is percussive with not much bass but nice mids.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action is the best of all my guitars. A lot of guitarplayers took it and they all say it is very good to play. Tip: I took away two stripes of plastic under the bridge and the action was great. Because of the action and the smaller body it is very easy to play. The satin finish gets glossy. But it looks very vintage.

I took the guitar to uncountable scoutcamps and travels. The kids play on it and I play it very often. The body is a rock. The satin finish gets glossy.
The open tuners works surprisingly well. Tip: Put some mechanic oil on it two times a year.

The warranty was 3 years. For this guitar i didn??t need the warranty. But Thomann has a very good service and warranty.

I play guitar since 7 Years. I have an emperador, an ibanez aw10, and an crafter gae8 and a fender gdp100. I would buy it again, but noone steals an 39 Euro Guitar. I wish someone will build it all solid with an pickup.
