About Winzz
Winzz traces its origin to a guitarist from Winz, a small village in Germany, who partnered with the team at Aileen Music in 2006 to create the brand. The company describes its mission as building fretted instruments, guitars, basses and ukuleles, that put a playable, affordable instrument within reach of music lovers everywhere.
The Winzz range spans acoustic, classical and electric guitars, electric basses, and soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles, along with accessories. The brand describes its manufacturing as pairing German preciseness with Chinese industriousness, and it ships from local warehouses with a 30-day return policy.

Winzz gear we rated highly
Winzz 4/4 Size Beginner Classical Guitar, Blueburst
A genuine full 4/4 size classical body, 39 inches, rather than a reduced scale, with a dual-action truss rod that lets the neck be corrected if it shifts and fret ends that are dressed for comfortable playing. The laminate basswood top, back and sides give it a neutral voice, and a gig bag and footstool are included, so a new player can start with proper classical posture from day one.
