Excellent 1/2 sized guitar
Gordo 24.10.2015
I can't praise these guitars highly enough.

The build quality and finish is good and all of the proportions thomann are correct.

The nut is well finished and the height of the nut is correctly set so that pitch isn't altered when depressing the strings on the lower frets as with some cheap instruments.

The bridge height is set well so that the overall string height is correct.

The neck width is right for a 1/2 and the fanning on the strings means that they are correctly spaced under the right hand.

The sound is good from the 1/2 body and its size is both large enough for the depth of sound and small enough to be right for a smaller player.

Many instruments at this price range are no more than toys. This is a well finished instrument with a high-quality sound for the size of body.

Additionally, I have ordered over 20 of these guitars in 3/4 1/2 and 1/4 and they are consistent in quality and appearance which is important when ordering from another country as to send an instrument back with insurance costs nearly as much as the instrument itself. You need to trust Thomann's quality control and you can!

I hire guitars to pupils and the Thomann 1/2 Classic-Guitar Gigbag #237374 is excellent value and provides really good protection.

Startone CG 851 1/2 - Great Value!!!
Spoobler 13.09.2013
I bought this for my four year old son as a birthday present. For the price I was not expecting something amazing, and that was fine - it is a first guitar, something that I knew would be taking a few knocks along the way.

So I was pleasantly surprised to hear how good this guitar sounds. I do not have much experience with acoustic guitars ( I play bass ) but I like this enough that it makes me want to play it. The small body is perfect for my kid but not so small that it feels like a toy.

The Startone is a well built instrument for a great price. A neighbour had bought an acoustic guitar in a toy shop for her daughter and showed it to me - it was a horrible thing, basically formed chipboard. There were sharp bits of wood sticking out everywhere, and the tuners could barely turn. This guitar was nothing more than a decoration but was almost the same price as the Startone. I thoroughly recommend the Startone to anyone looking a beginner guitar to inspire them.

It's alright
TomiJackdaw 23.02.2024
Smaller than one would've expected. Resembles a toy, but still is a guitar. Exactly what you got for $30. Good for children to play with and maybe practice to get really interested in the subject. It's alright for it's price, but if you want a real guitar, get something more expensive

Perfect for the case
makkker 06.01.2020
My spouse bought one as a present for her cousin, we liked it and bought another for another cousin. Yes.
Perfect and easy to play for them. Sounds great for the price, tunable, looks, smells and feels great. It is a good starting guitar I think for many purposes, but sure for small handed teens. :)

Certainly best you can get for this money. Stock strings sounds a bit dull, but if you spend a bit on a good set of strings this guitar will certainly surprise you)

Great starter guitar
EverRed 28.10.2017
Bought this for my seven year old daughter in the hope it would generate some interest. Was slightly concerned that at this price it might be more on the toy side of quality. In short it is not. Some minuscule blemishes on the finish aside it is a great bit of starter kit. Sounds good, pretty solid and if she sticks with the guitar when she gets an upgrade next year I reckon it will be good enough condition to pass on to her siblings.

Excellent value for a beginners instrument
bweaver 31.08.2022
This is simply a great guitar that plays easily and sounds just fine for what it is. I compared this directly to guitars 2 and 3 X the price with much lower playability. Even the supplied strings are high quality so no need to change those immediately. Most importantly, this guitar will not put off any fledgling young guitarists as it is easy to play and produce a good sound with minimal effort.

value for money? YES!
Anonymous 25.11.2016
I bought this guitar for my children to explore and learn (they are 5 and 8 years old and the 1/2 size seems to suit them both well). I was very pleasantly surprised at the lovely tone that this budget guitar has. Delivered in perfect condition too.

This instrument exceeded my expectations by miles!

Stedent Guitar, great for starters
F. 24.01.2016
The guitar arrived quickly. Nothing wrong with it at all. I got it for the Mother of one of our prospective students. Out of the box there was nothing to do except tune it. Intonation is fine, action is fine and the sound is fine. For a starter guitar just great. When our pupil grows I suspect his next guitar will be the 3/4 size!
