Classic Cantabile - Simply Sounds Better!
The AS-851 is perfect for beginners and advanced guitarists! Whether for music lessons, band practice, live on stage, or around the campfire: This guitar will bring you joy everywhere!
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 59 cm, the instrument is perfectly tailored to children around 8 to 11 years old. 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 precisely 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’s important that learning is fun. 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 expressive tone for lots of fun and allow 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 length of the vibrating string between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a full-size guitar. All other sizes are smaller and are therefore recommended for children and youth.
Our Recommendations for Scale Length According to 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 |
Guitar Bag
This guitar bag leaves nothing to be desired: elaborate padding with various materials and the innovative neck fixation provide optimal protection for your instrument. Thoughtful features include 2 large front pockets for sheet music, tuner, etc., ergonomic comfort handles, and a fully padded luxury backpack harness, making this guitar bag a practical and extremely comfortable companion.
Guitar Stand
This universal guitar stand is simply the ideal companion for stage, rehearsal room, or home. The locking feet provide perfect stability for your instrument. Still, it folds up in seconds and can be stored in small corners or behind cabinets when not in use. Transporting it to the next gig is no problem due to its light weight and compact dimensions.
Footstool
The black footstool from Classic Cantabile is a high-quality and ergonomic companion for all guitarists who want to approach classical guitar playing in a relaxed way. The Classic Cantabile footstool ensures the guitar is positioned at the correct height in front of the body. Proper positioning supports a relaxed hand posture and relieves the shoulder, neck, and back areas. The stable black metal footstool is adjustable to four different heights and can be individually adapted to the guitarist.
Clip Tuner
The Classic Cantabile T-26 is a compact clip tuner suitable for tuning many instrument groups. Besides the chromatic mode, the T-26 can be set to guitar or bass. The standard setting is "Chromatic," which displays the played note and exact tuning. A 12-segment graphic shows precise tuning to the cent. As additional visual support, 2 LEDs inside the housing glow red while tuning is off. When tuning is correct, the display changes from red to green—allowing tuning "out of the corner of your eye."
Strings
Rocktile guitar strings impress with durability and especially comfortable playability. Each string is individually packaged to prevent tangling. The strings are shipped in sturdy transparent plastic sleeves.
Here you get an excellent guitar at an unbeatable price!

One small disadvantage is the tuner. It is a little awkward to use.
