Review: Sounds Beautiful - I love my new little guitar. I have always felt that standard size guitars are just too big for me. After not playing my steel string acoustic guitar for so long due to this, I decided to try the 1/2 size classical Yamaha, and I am so happy! It is cozy to sit on the couch playing this, and it sounds nice and rich to me. I like that it is lightweight, the action is low so I do not have to push on the strings very hard, and the quality seems very good for the price. This is a guitar I am not ashamed to play in front of others, and already my friends are asking me to play them songs on it. I consider this to be an easy-to-play guitar. Review: Reliable Beginner-Friendly Classical Guitar - The Yamaha Student Series CGS103AII Classical Guitar in Natural is a solid choice for beginners. It offers comfortable playability and a decent tone for its price range. While it may not have the richness of higher-end models, it’s well-built and reliable for practice and early learning. Overall, it provides good value for students starting their classical guitar journey. ## Features - Spruce top - Meranti back & sides - Rosewood fingerboard & bridge, natural finish - Strings scale 25.6 inches, body depth 3.15 - 3.3 inches, finger board width (Nut/Body) 2.05 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005F25DUU | | Back Material Type | Meranti | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,399 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #4 in Classical & Nylon-String Guitars | | Body Material | Meranti | | Body Material Type | Meranti | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,149 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086792958606 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | 1/2 Size | | Item Dimensions | 36.9 x 16.5 x 4.5 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 36.9"L x 16.5"W x 4.5"H | | Item Type Name | Classical Guitar | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha | | Manufacturer Part Number | CGS102AII | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | CGS102AII | | Model Series | CGS | | Neck Material Type | Nato | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 21 | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 086792958606 888365981277 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.

The nut may be easily changed, but the saddle is not trivial, as the slot cut for the saddle is sloped to account for intonation. If you don't mind being 5 or more cents off and the action being wonky, no worries, string it backwards. If that's how you roll it also makes a decent canoe paddle, end table, baseball bat, personal flotation device & hydration vessel. Its good to have your dominant hand do the rhythm, the strumming and/or finger picking, more coordination required on that hand. **Q: What type strings?** A: Nylon strings **Q: Any recommendations on a good reasonably priced "hard case" for this?** A: Yamaha CG2-SC Soft Lightweight 1/2 Size Classical Guitar Case is not a hard case, but is an excellent, sturdy formed-foam case. **Q: What do accessories do you need and how would you add a strap to accoustical guitar?** A: You would definitely want to get a tuner. There are straps that are made for classical guitar, but these are specific to their instrument. They don't look like traditional straps that you've seen. If you want to use a traditional strap you would have to install a strap button on the bottom of the guitar, and use a string around the headstock. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Beautiful *by M***A on October 8, 2025* I love my new little guitar.

It offers comfortable playability and a decent tone for its price range. While it may not have the richness of higher-end models, it’s well-built and reliable for practice and early learning. Overall, it provides good value for students starting their classical guitar journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha CGS-103A *by S***G on July 18, 2026* The sound is very good for a beginner like me, but the workmanship is not as good since the lacquer by the sound hole is not coated equally, the neck is wavy from top to the body and the neck joint is rough. Otherwise, this is a good beginner guitar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha CGS102A Half-Size Classical Guitar - Natural - Yamaha Guitar Case - D'Addario Celluloid Guitar Picks - Guitar Accessories - Guitar Picks for Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar - Natural Feel, Warm Tone - Assorted, Medium 0.70mm, 10-pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1508161-cgs102aii-1-2-size](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1508161-cgs102aii-1-2-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
