Exactly what I wanted
zorglub76 04.10.2021
I gave it 5 stars for features, sound and quality, but bear in mind that this is relative to its price, and doesn't mean that it's the best classical guitar ever made.
Anyway, this is exactly the guitar I was looking for:
1. cheap
2. wide neck, but not huge, like the regular classical guitars. I wanted a guitar for occasional bossa-nova playing, and I wanted to be able to fingerpick with my fat fingers, and not need to stretch my short fingers of the left hand too much. The 48mm nut width was ideal size.
3. good sound. No, you're not going to play classical music in front of the full music hall with this guitar, but it has a nice warm tone. It lacks the highs, and I blame it on the nut, which is made of soft plastic material. Overall, it's a pleasant sound.
4. high quality finish - I found no problems or even small blemishes with the guitar.

Things to watch out for:
1. default strings. Change them asap. They sounded muted, and had rough finish, so when I'd move my fingers over them, they produced sound as if I were playing a violin...
2. nut. It's awful, and I'll change it soon.
3. frets - they need polishing
4. intonation - it's decent, but not spot on.
If you need a side guitar for the styles you don't play often, this is a great guitar. If you're going for a high quality concert guitar, this is not it.

Awesome guitar
João Palmeira 16.03.2019
I was a bit unsatisfied with the diy kit that I bought but customer care refunded me and as I'm practicing classical guitar I bought this one to give a second try at Thomman.

The guitar is awesome and may be considered an hybrid between a classical and a folk guitar.

The sound is a bit different but quite awesome and balanced. The basses are warm and the mids and trebles are quite clean.
The output is quite high and loud :)

I'm having an issue with the tunning, as since I got the guitar it de-tunes 2 to 3 half tones every single day, however I've already sent an email to Thomman questioning if it's a string issue or from the tuners... will figure it out later...

Nevertheless an awesome guitar with great action, playability and sound!

Great potential, bad quality control
Stef0 25.09.2020
The guitar I received has a lot of problems.
The headstock is a mess. It was full of dirt and has a terrible paint job.
The fingerboard was scratched.
The body has bumps on the top, probably water damage.
