Thomann Lute Guitar Standard Walnut

Of course I never have enough instrument, especially guitars so when I decided to get a new one, straight away I went to Thomann website. I like the traditional acoustic instruments and thought about getting a lute but as a classical guitarist I wanted mainly the sound of a lute and the convenience of a classical guitar. This lute is perfectly fitting the bill. Well made (love the walnut back, so gorgeous) and the soundhole rosace is beautiful. I'm also a huge fan of the spruce top! Playability is really good too. Definitely recommend to get the lute sound but keep the simplicity of playing a guitar. There's a bit of a learning curve to hold the lute at first but it's definitely worth the effort. Thanks Thomann!

I have never in my life found a an acoustic or classical guitar that sounded so good I had to have it. I've played $2000-$4000 guitars and nothing has wowed me.

I live in the USA so I couldn't play this one before i ordered it but its always been a dream of mine to learn lute.. this solves the problem so for the price I decided to give it a shot.. WOW. this thing is absolutely stunning. soo much reverb and sustain absolutely gorgeous tone.

The one caveat is that i changed the strings to real catgut strings which cost me about $100 I also tried the nylgut strings which were only about $20 and sounded great I just cant stand the plastic feel and sound of typical nylon strings.

If you always wanted to play a lute or if you want an amazing sounding classical guitar, it also feels great, I Highly Highly recommend this lute guitar. I own around 20 guitars from Gibson down to glarry and this is may be my all time favorite.
