Best Budget Guitar for Beginners
Javed 29.01.2022
It's a great guitar with wonderful sound quality. It's perfect for both strumming or Fingerstyle playing. It feels very comfortable in hand and it's easy to play as a beginner. Best deal at this price point. I am yet to test the pickup and the electrical functionalities, but so far just as an acoustic guitar it has served me greatly.

The design, material and build quality is as good as you can expect at this price. I love the sunburst theme. The only problem I found was that, one pin for attaching the guitar strap was missing. It's not a big deal if you don't wanna perform while standing and don't need a strap. You can also get a pin attached from any local store for less than 5 bucks.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a wallet and beginner friendly multipurpose guitar.

Wow❗

I paid €900 for my "work guitar" a couple of yrs ago, I'm holding this cg45e side by side with my work guitar, if it wasn't for the F holes in my gretch, there would be very little difference in visual qualty.
Action is perfect, frets are smooth, fret ends are perfectly smooth too, tuners aren't just as smooth turning them as the gretch, but they work p'fectly, neck, head, body, inside & out, binding too, I cannot find any problems at all, the over all finish too is faultless.
Its natural sound unplugged is plenty full range for a new guitar, so can only get better as the guitar ages.
Sound plugged in is very nice, balanced nicely through all the strings with flat middle eq. I've had a few quality piezo acoustic guitars with string ballance problems which were difficult to eq 😐
My PA is recent & almost broke my bank, this guitar sounds very nice when plugged into it.
I'll give the gretch a rest for a while now I have this cg45e, will see how it takes to the stresses of regular work, but so far I'm very happy with this €80 budget cg45e 🎶👍 I love it
.addition 6 weeks later. This plays & sounds so good it has moved up my guitar ladder, in fact I use it every time for my smaller gigs, my gretch is saved for the more executive gigs, I have found a neg point which might inters some, in some of my more expressive numbers I can knock the controlls, but easy enough to correct.

Nice guitar after some work
Buizerd 23.12.2022
Great looking guitar with satin finish.
But it needs some work.
The fret ends are like daggers, so they have to be worked on.
The electronics have a mind of it’s own. Sometimes they work, sometimes not.
The guitar has got only one strapbutton.
In the end a nice guitar, if you do not mind spending some time making it work.

Hard to beat at this price.
Beal Feirste 22.08.2022
I wasn't expecting top shelf guitar at this price, but this is certainly a bargain at a reasonable price. Well built and finished, excellent detail, and nice tone and projection.

Incredible for the price!
Farlogs 16.03.2023
I bought this as a cheap stummer to keep my hand in when back at my parents as I live and work away with no great expectations. As usual with Thomann it arrived promptly.
Straight out of the box it was obviously playable with a surprisingly full tone. The only issue as pointed out by other reviewers was extremely sharp fret ends and a slightly high action. With a tweak of the truss rod with the supplied Allen key and a bit of work filing, smoothing and polishing the frets, paying attention particularly to the ends I have a guitar well above it's price point. The finish is fine, the hardware is alright. I've not plugged it in yet as I have no facilities here and it wasn't the point of me buying it.
I'm conclusion £69 and a fiver for a set of fine files from Homebase, a bit of tidying up and a eminently playable nice little guitar, you can't go wrong!

Excellend guitar with a metallic blues-rock sound.
Perfect action and ready to play. My son said maybe we should buy two.
Thanks Thomann for everything.

Ridiculously good gitar
MK23 21.05.2024
I orderd this guitar because price was so ridiculously low and I was curious what can this guitar offer, especially with built in pickup system.
I was in shock when I got it because not that it sounds very good (maybe the pickup doesn't sound really impresive, still good nevertheless), it also feels very good (neck, body, tuners,...)
The stock strings are also very good sounding, which is a bonus for me.
I can not express this enough, but the sound of guitar is very good, especially for the money. Guitar resonates very well and acousticly it provides a lot of power all across the fq range (also bass)
