Everything You Need to Start Playing Guitar!
Perfect for beginners and advanced guitarists! Whether for music lessons, band rehearsals, live on stage or around the campfire, this guitar will bring you joy everywhere. Here you get an excellent guitar at an unbeatable price. See for yourself!

The Classic Cantabile AS-851 - The Perfect Beginner or Second Instrument
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 is ideally suited for guitar beginners. With a scale length of 62 cm, the instrument is perfectly tailored to children aged about 10 to 13 years. Of course, adult beginners also benefit from the easy playability of the AS-851.
Selected Materials - Clean Craftsmanship
Only carefully selected materials are used for AS-851 guitars. The laminated top and body produce a beautiful, warm tone, and the neatly crafted bridge transmits string vibrations in detail even with a gentle finger touch. The smooth tuning machines also ensure optimal tuning stability.
A Sound That Speaks for Itself!
Especially for beginners, it is important that learning is enjoyable. A guitar must not only be functional to guarantee optimal learning success, but the sound must also not be neglected. The AS-851 models provide a rich tone that makes playing fun and allows a good assessment of your own playing style.
Classic Look
The AS-851 impresses visually with its light natural top and dark tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, beautiful decorated tuning machines, and subtle headstock complete the overall look.
Which Guitar Size Is Right?
The scale length indicates the size of a guitar—or more precisely the vibrating string length between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a full-size 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and therefore recommended for children and teenagers.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Matching Age and Body Size:
| 1/4 Size | Age 4 to 7 years | Body Height up to 110 cm | Scale Length approx. 47-49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Age 5 to 9 years | Body Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale Length approx. 53-55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Age 8 to 11 years | Body Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale Length approx. 59-62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Age 10 to 13 years | Body Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale Length approx. 62-63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Age from approx. 14 years | Body Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale Length approx. 63-65 cm |
