Classic Cantabile - Sounds Simply Better!
The AS-851 is ideal for beginner and advanced guitarists! Whether for music lessons, band rehearsal, live on stage or around the campfire: this guitar will bring you joy everywhere!

The Classic Cantabile AS-851 — The Perfect Beginner Or Backup Instrument
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 is perfectly suited for guitar beginners. With a scale length of 65 cm the instrument is ideal for children and teenagers from around 14 years of age. Of course, adult beginners also benefit from the easy playability of the AS-851.
Selected Materials — Precise Workmanship
Only carefully selected materials are used for the AS-851 guitars. The laminated top and body produce a beautiful, warm tone, and the neatly crafted bridge transmits the string vibrations even from a light finger attack down to the smallest detail. The smooth tuning machines also ensure excellent tuning stability.
A Tone That Speaks For Itself!
Especially for beginners it's important that learning is fun. A guitar must not only be functional to ensure optimal learning success, but the sound must not be neglected either. The AS-851 models deliver an expressive tone that guarantees plenty of enjoyment and also allows a good assessment of your own playing.
Classic Appearance
The AS-851 impresses visually with its light natural top and darker tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, the pretty ornate tuning machines and the discreet headstock complete the overall look.
Which Guitar Size Is Right?
The scale length indicates the size of a guitar — or more precisely: the length of the vibrating string between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm and corresponds to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are therefore smaller and are recommended accordingly for children and teenagers.
Our recommendations for the scale length suitable for age and body height:
| 1/4 Size | Age 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale approx. 47–49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Age 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale approx. 53–55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Age 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale approx. 59–62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Age 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale approx. 62–63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Age from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale approx. 63–65 cm |
