Decent but needs a few tweaks
Sounds good (especially if you tune it up to A not E) The fret ends need a bit of work, they're pretty sharp. Quite easy to remedy if you have a file and a bit of patience - but should be done at the factory. Also the tuners are the worst I've ever encountered on any guitar, they do not stay in tune. Otherwise it's a decent instrument for a beginner.

Good guitar for beginners
I acquired this guitar set for my 5 years old.
The sound is good for the price, nice frets and finishes.
As a part of the set, together with the 20w amplifier, it is a great deal

Intonation problem but great playability
Fantastic value for money, even more when purchased as a set with amp, etc. Only tuning pegs are a bit low quality, but no complain at this price. The intonation has been a bit of a problem though, not been able to adjust correctly the low E string. For most people would not be a big deal but, for music teachers like me, it's more of a problem.

Good guitar
Good guitar for beginner guitarists.
I took it for playing at home, it seems to me that this is an ideal option to learn how to play the guitar given the low cost and very good and clear sound.
Excellent assembly, no chips and scratches.
Good color and appearance. The gloss black looks pretty good.
Convenient shape, the guitar is comfortable to hold and it is made of nice material.
Sounds good considering the cost of the guitar. With such a system, a heavy sound is very good.
Two keys for an anchor and strings were included, which is very convenient. Also, the strings themselves were very good.
Of the minuses, a slightly non-standard system to which you need to get used to, but after some time everything becomes quite easy. The frets were also a little scratched, but this can be easily fixed just by slightly honing them, which I did.
I’ll also try to rebuild the guitar into an e-standard, but for this you will need thicker strings 11-49 and then I think everything will be even simpler, but it is better to be careful with this.
In general, I liked the guitar and I experienced only positive emotions while playing it.

Great small guitar for kids
The one we received has no quality issues. I read about the production flaws in some of the other reviews, but based on the quality of the piece we received, I am sure quality assurance picked up their game. The only flaw of this small guitar is that it will lose tuning quite quickly.

Exceptional product for the money !
I have a seven year old son. He wanted an electric guitar and i was afraid he will brake some of my gibsons ( too heavy for a small kid ) . Then we looked some reviews of short scale guitars and decided to go with Harley Benton. It arrived in perfect condition and feels amazingly in the hands. Don’t be fooled by the low price, it’s the perfect temporary guitar for small kids. Low action, easy to play, good tuners for the price. I don’t see why smb. will buy the more expensive short scale guitars. The kid is loving it, and started using the looper pedal and composing his own sounds :) Very, very good choice of ours :)

Excellent value
All components more than adequate for the price. My only issues were (a) setup wasnt great (b) the supplied strings were cheap and terrible and (b) the fret wire isnt the best and wouldnt easily polish up. But for the money and with new strings, a setup and polish - very good, no other manufacturer gets close to Harley Benton / Thomann

Hard to beat for the price
Bought this little ditty for my son (7) though the 3-year old seems more interested in it. Really not bad for the price, though ours needed some adjustments. For example, a string change did wonders. Next on the board are some new tuners (as soon as there is some extra cash) as the stock ones don't hold their tune very well. Playing it with the AmpliTube Amp, as well as a Fender Mustang I V2. As could be expected for the price, the pickups pale in comparison to the stock ones on my Vintage modified Strat (Squier).
This is a short-scale guitar ideal for small, tiny hands or little kids. With some proper adjustments, it is an excellent guitar for beginners, especially if you don't want to invest too much. It is robust enough that when the first child is done with it, the other can pick it up in a few years (and perhaps benefit from nicer parts discarded from other guitar-projects!).

Excellent for the money, but remember how low the price is!
As usual Thomann did a great job with delivery and price, and the guitar itself is great for the price. Don't expect it to compete with a premium instrument, but it's perfectly playable and sounds fine.
I haven't given it a full going over yet but my initial impressions are:
- pretty easy to play with a good action height out of the box
- fret ends could do with a little more attention, they feel a bit sharp
- one string tree was loose, not a big deal if you have a screw driver
- paint finish is good, no visible defects
- great starter instrument for younger children who might struggle with a full size instrument.
