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 50.5 cm, the instrument is perfectly sized for children around 4 to 7 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 finely 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 also allow a good assessment of one’s own playing style.
Classic Look
The AS-851 impresses visually with its light natural top and dark tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, the beautiful decorated 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 vibrating string length between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and are therefore recommended for children and youth.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Matching 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 |
