As I have only had my guitar for 10 days, I feel like we are still getting acquainted. From my experience, I learn to love a good guitar even more with time. And everything about it so far tells me this is a good guitar. First impression is the appearance which is beautiful. Then, the playability and sound. As a not particularly large woman, I find the size of this guitar much more comfortable than full-size classical guitars. My fingers reach the frets without the strain I feel with larger models. The tone is good, and I was surprised to find the volume I get from this guitar. I expected it to be slightly diminished from larger guitars, but I find it is actually better than the full-size models I have played. Add to that the prompt service I received from Thomann Music; my guitar made it from Germany to Maine, US, in less time than many packages make it to me from within the US. I was also well pleased with the packaging itself which protected my guitar from any hint of damage. I bought the bundle with the gig bag which is of excellent quality. I love that it has the backpack style straps. That the bag did have a chemical smell to it that required airing out for a few days, but now it is fine. I am looking forward to many years of music with this instrument; and with the gig bag it will be easy to take on the road so I never need be without it.
