The craftmanship here is superb. I own ten classical guitars some with some of them costing thousands of dollars but this little gem holds it own in every category. I was nonplussed.
IMPORTANT! Right out of the box this guitar is no resdy for prime time. The guitar must be set up by a professional. It will cost about $75 to have this done but it is a must do. Have the saddle sanded and the neck adjusted to the proper height off the frets. When I got mine back it had a wonderful warm tone and was a delight to play. In twenty years after the wood sets and mellows this will be an even more fantastic sounding guitar than it is now.
I'm giving this Hola! A five star across the board rating with the caveat of a professional set up once you take delivery. This "set up" is actually a must for any new guitar purchased but especially over the internet.

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!!

Guitar came reasonably set up - and for a nylon string guitar you generally don't want super fast action in any case!

intonation was great, and the general set up of frets, fret smoothness/edges, and (lack of) neck bow was far better than I expected (I've seen worse in newly-shipped guitars at ten times the cost)

The tone is *decent*, and is absolutely fabulous for the price (it's not as rounded as the best classical guitars, but duh - it's $130 WITH a gig bag! It's easily a $20 gig bag, so $110 for the guitar!)

This is not a *beginner* guitar, it's a *workmanlike* guitar. It is sufficiently good for me to rely on for my continuing (re)education in classical guitar (after playing jazz, folk, blues, and rock for almost 50 years) and I get absolutely no sense that I'll want to replace it in a few months or years...

All in all - it is astonishing.

In comparison - I used to have a cheap "thrash guitar" I picked up for playing while I was long term on a project far from home -- I'd travel with clothes, but I wasn't trusting a decent instrument to airline baggage handling! That cheap thrash guitar cost about the same as this -- or a little more when considering inflation - and that guitar was really trash. good enough to give me a surface on which to maintain some chops... but I simply left it behind at the end of that project. It wasn't worth keeping... THIS guitar I would keep.

The guitar needs a setup right out of the box. You are going to have to file down the
saddle, which takes time. I broke the one that came with the guitar, and replaced it with one made of buffalo bone. If you are skilled at working on guitars, you might also want to file down the nut a bit. You will also have to adjust the truss rod a bit to lower the action.

The intonation is surprisingly exceptional, especially given how much you pay for the instrument. The strings are actually quite nice sounding.

I'm not too pleased with the feel fretboard though it is well made and the frets are of terrific quality. The neck width feels a little thin to me. But that's just my personal preference. Some people like it that way.

All in all a very good guitar.

Beautiful little guitar. The only issue is the truss rod, not working but it's no big deal.
