Everything You Need to Start Playing Guitar!
This great starter set is ideal for beginners! Whether in music class, at band practice, live on stage or around the campfire: the AS-861 brings joy everywhere.
Only carefully selected materials are used for AS-861 guitars. The laminated top and the body produce a beautiful, warm tone, and the neatly crafted bridge transmits the strings' vibration, even with a delicate finger attack, down to the smallest detail. The smooth-turning tuning machines also ensure optimal tuning stability.
Classic Appearance
The AS-861 stands out visually with its light natural top and dark-tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, the attractive decorated tuning machines and the understated 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 for children and teenagers.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Based on Age and Height:
| 1/4 Size | Ages 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale approx. 47–49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Ages 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale approx. 53–55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Ages 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale approx. 59–62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Ages 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale approx. 62–63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Ages from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale approx. 63–65 cm |
Included in the Set: The 5-Piece Classic Cantabile Accessory Kit!
Gigbag with Backpack Straps
To transport the guitar, the set includes a backpack-style gigbag with a sheet-music pocket and enough storage space for music books.
Guitar Method
"All Beginnings Are Easy" - that applies to the new guitar method by Michael Schwager as well. With entertaining exercises, notes, rhythms and chords are explained clearly. Whether steel-string or classical guitar—beginners will have fun learning here!
