Couch Guitar
I bought this guitar for two reasons: I wanted to get a comfortable classical style guitar and because it was really inexpensive.
First let's talk about the comfort. The neck feels roughly similar to other nylon's I've played and is shaped kind of similar to those too. It's comfortable to play on and the satin feel of it is nice. It's comfortable to play sitting on the couch, which is exactly what I wanted.
The "thinline" for this guitar is not very thin. It's about 8cm deep or maybe about 2/3 the size of other classical guitars I've played. It's noticeably less cumbersome than those, but don't expect it to be the size of a semihollow electric or a "hybrid" guitar.
On the value side the guitar is great. It does feel a bit like a plywood box, but all the parts look neat, there are no faults in the paint job, the builtin tuner is convenient and easy to read, and it even comes with set of Hannabach strings. The string alone cost around 15€ so as a value proposition it's a great package.
The one part that is not so great is the tuners. While they do hold tune and work properly they feel a janky and one of them makes weird noises when tuning.
The sound of the guitar is... Not amazing but not terrible. I'm guessing the undersized sound box is not doing it any favors. I do like the sound but compared to even my inexpensive Alhambra it doesn't have much depth. The volume it puts out is low, which is either a downside or an upside depending on the situation. At home you can play without bothering your neighbors or family, but even at a children's guitar recital something else would be better.
I didn't really care about the built in pickup on this guitar, but for what it's worth it seems fine. I got a lot of string noise while testing it, but it worked well and it didn't seem to have any hum issues. It's there and it gives you some options to play around.
It's a nice guitar. Not quite a replacement for a good classical guitar, but as long as that isn't the expectation, you will likely like it.

Great value
I bought this to replace the beaten up old Silvertone that lived in my shop, hidden away from my "real" guitars. I was pleasantly surprised by this guitar. The thin body is comfortable, the tone is good, the feel of the neck and frets is great. It produces nice volume on its own but the electronics are an added plus, especially given the overall price. It will not win any prizes for quality of materials or finish, but the build is robust. Not an heirloom by any means, but definitely a keeper.

GREAT NYLON GUITAR FOR ALL LEVELS
If you are looking for a thinline cutaway nylon stringed guitar with classical guitar fret dimensions then you are in the right place. I gave 4 stars on quality only cause the strings in the headstock unwind easily. After that it sounds great on genre, feels good in hands, and is just overall a worthy investment for a quality instrument. Words cannot describe you just have to get it into your hands to see.
