Classic Cantabile - Simply Sounds Better!
The AS-851 is 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!
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 - the Perfect Beginner or Second Instrument
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 is ideal for guitar beginners. With a scale length of 59 cm, the instrument is perfectly tailored for left-handed children aged about 8 to 11 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 fine 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 also deliver a sound that doesn’t fall short. The AS-851 models provide expressive tone for plenty of enjoyment and also allow a good assessment of your own playing style.
Classic Appearance
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 therefore recommended for children and youth.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Suitable for 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 |

Question by Sandra Keindl on 06.11.2020
Hello, I have a question. My son has started learning guitar. He is left handed. We would like to buy one but it should have a solid top? Do you have that? It would be nice if an answer comes back. Thanks in advance S.Keindl
