Hola! Music 39" Full Size Classical Guitar, Nylon Strings, Natural Gloss

I can't praise this guitar enough!!!! Sound, volume, tone, weight and appearance are extraordinary. Boxing seemed risky but right out of box was already stringed and in tune and my amateur musician jumped for joy as I could play guitar again in my retirement. My Old Yamaha was soooo difficult to play due to hard string action and resulting pain in my fingers. This was like silky butter for my fingering. I have a surgical anomaly on my L index finger that makes C and F almost impossibly painful....now it is a breeze with minimal buzz. CAN YOU TELL I LOVE THIS GUITAR! Thank you Hola. HOLAY! UPDATE 12/7/2019: So enjoyed this guitar for 3 years now and stand by my first review. It is like a mellow expression of my soul when playing. Mind you I am essentially a balladeer and the classical folk sound suits my baritone timber and this Hola guitar helps me sound better than I probably do. If you want a pleasant smooth sound with umph when needed this is your answer at a price point that is atonishing still. I tried 3 other expensive online guitars before I chose my Hola. Also bought a 3/4 version for travel and composing etc as it was just easier to handle and I can say I am just as pleased. The 3/4 sound is 3/4 sound and when capoing above 3rd fret not as pleasing a sound ( a bit ukelel- like) So again ... Thank you Hola. HOLAY! UPDATE: another year has passed and I ditto my above opinions. Still love this little gem of a guitar and use it daiy for my composition efforts atmy desk (takes up less room) .Thanks HOLA 12/01/25: Had damaged my old 39in Hola so got a new one and I reiterate all my above comments...it did however rise to $125 when in 1916 it was $100 but it's like having a reliable mellow sweet old friend back to accompany my vocal musings. My Yamaha G40 11 was ok but I hatee the action on it ...iy hurt my elderly fingers. NOW---I'm on what is like a guitar stratavari to me...don't hesitate to buy this procision guitar, it's agem at $125

It was good out of the box. The seller put a lot of attention in this instrument. The box arrived with no dents and the guitar came inside a padded bag and cover in white foam protective bag. The guitar finish is of high gloss and quality. The guitar tune up took only 5 minutes and the relief is spot on. There is a clean no frets buzzing sound. I recommend this guitar from this seller. I have no complaints. This instrument is worth the money. The guitar strings are very soft to my hands and that's good for me to play for hours. One thing I like of this guitar over other guitars is that the fretboard is of natural wood and is what I want to have in a classical guitar. The top is of laminated wood, but the sound is good, and a laminated top can resist changes in temperature better than a solid top. It has bindings in the front or top and the back. The fretboard has bindings, and the fretboard is made for professionals. The frets do not cut the hands as you move the hands through the neck up and down. The neck has a two-way truss rod, and they included the Allen key.

Very nice guitar, the finish is flawless Love the tone right out of the box. Gig bag is ok somewhat thin ,but keeps it clean. The low E string broke over night and the rest of the string sound dead compared to the day before will replace strings soon. Over all very happy with guitar.

I purchased this guitar as a reasonably priced training tool. I specifically searched for a Classical model with nylon strings. The guitar's finish is outstanding, to say the least. I could not find a single flaw anywhere on the unit. The neck is flat and straight. The tuners are all metal and add a nice decoration to the headstock. They are firm in their grip of the strings and have a consistent feel across all stings. The sound is wonderful, very full and rich. The nylon-strings are of the Savarez brand and I don't see a need to change them out for a long time to come. There is no doubt this instrument is very well made and a lot of thought went into the details of the finished product. It is very playable. At this price point, you will have an extremely difficult time finding a better product including those guitars made by the more "famous" brands like Yamaha and Fender. I highly recommend this guitar to players just starting out or even intermediate players needing a second guitar for daily practice. I have a small issue with the included padded soft case but after contacting the company, they are responding immediately to the problem at my total satisfaction.

To me this classical guitar exhibits "above average" materials, workmanship and finish. That the maker builds it with a truss rod is a clue that they consider creation of this instrument a serious venture. Having played it for several hours, I feel a "good heart" around the instrument. The sound with strings provided is mellow. The bass feels deep and solid. There are no obvious construction or design flaws and the delivery was prompt. Update, 07March 2023: Still enjoying the instrument. Have changed the strings a couple of times and filed the fret ends to smooth them. The dry climate where I live seems to shrink things made of wood, so I think that's what happened with the rather minor neck/fret issue. Anyway, 5 minutes of careful filing with a fine mill file smoothed things out. I believe the guitar is developing a richer voice and more dramatic bass. Maybe my imagination. I play and practice about an hour a day, in part because my dog likes to listen while she chews on her toys. An appreciative and not-too-discerning audience of one crossbred coonhound! Update Dec.11, 2025: The instrument still plays well and sounds good to me. The tuners seem to be holding up well and holding their tuned notes after the normal stretch-out period you get with new strings. Still liking the Hola 39 inch nylon string guitar. The finish is holding up well. Lulu the music dog has decided that The House of the Rising Sun is her special happy song.

Ok, I said I would update if needed! 2 days have gone by and normal tuning while the strings stretch in has broken a tuning peg gear! Now I know where they saved some money. They looked like brass but they are pot metal and easily broke in half pictures included. I still like the guitar but now plan on buying new peg heads right away! That's going to add about 35 dollars to the price And customer service doesn't exist...I know it is $87.00! But what a deal, I was I'm sure like many others skeptical of other reviews. I just wanted to try out a classical guitar but not spend much on it! This guitar is very good considering the price. The good first nicely done quality build, the tuners work, the neck is straight and adjustable, strings are good, fretboard is walnut as stated, bridge looks like a rosewood bonus, binding is good, finish is pretty good I did find a couple small flaws but nothing serious. One speck of white on top finish near bottom binding probably a shaving of binding, and superficial scratch on the bottom about but can hardly see only up close and probably will buff out with a little tru oil, only thing that I had to do is remove the strings and lower the saddle about 1.5mm now it plays well with good action! I will update this review as needed but like I said well worth $87 cheers...

Right out of the box this guitar is ready to play. The action height was set perfect already, the strings that it comes with are silky smooth and easy on the fingers, which is good for a beginner. The guitar itself is beautifully made. The neck is straight and has binding all the way around that basically eliminates all rough frets and makes the guitar very comfortable and easy to enjoy. The tuners seem to be good quality, making it easy to tune the guitar and make precise adjustments. Overall, a guitar of this construction and quality I would honestly expect to play double or triple this price. Hola guitars seems to sincerely care about quality and being able to connect (aspiring) musicians with amazing instruments to help talents blossom. Consider me a customer for life. Thank you Hola guitars!!

Some of the frets have sharp edges. I often play a 12 string that I can barre chords all the way up the neck. It was impossible to barre chords beyond the 4th or 5th fret. Not all strings rang true when playing no matter how hard they were pressed. I admit the price was good, and with a gig bag even better, if only it played properly. Sadly I will be returning the item for a refund.
