Product Description
The Yamaha CGS102 Classical Acoustic 1/2 Guitar, with a spruce top and natural finish, is Yamaha's smallest instrument. Its 21" (535mm) scale length and 3-3/4" (94-100mm) deep body provide a perfect fit for the youngest musicians. This petite size is the most difficult to produce properly, and many inexpensive "toy" guitars fill this range. But don't let them fool you. The Yamaha CGS102 Classical Acoustic 1/2 Guitar is a legitimate musical instrument, constructed with the beautiful tonal woods and meticulous details of a full-sized Yamaha guitar.

By S. Kuan
This is a good 1/2 size guitar with classical strings for little fingers. Not a toy--a real guitar. Sounds good for its size.

By byrdwash
CONFESSION: I'm an adult and I got this guitar for myself. I play fiddle and mandolin and started noodling around with ukulele over the holidays. It was great fun, but a soprano uke is kind of small so I started thinking about getting a tenor one. Wanting to stay with the idea of a small instrument on which to play chords with relative ease (some chords are really challenging on the mandolin), I thought, Why not get a small guitar and have 6 strings to play with?This instrument is well-made and has a surprisingly nice sound for it's size. Even though it's considered a student instrument. it seems that Yamaha kept with the same level of craftsmanship evident on full-size guitars in the same price range.Who knows, maybe one day I'll advance to a "parlor size" guitar, but I like having a small one - also, easy to stash and travel with.Special note: be advised that it's hard to find a gig bag to fit this exactly - be sure to get precise measurements or just opt for a 3/4 sized bag.

By Barry Goldstein
This guitar is made well, is a great size for kids, and is reasonably priced. Although the quality of the sound is not very good, this is a perfect started guitar for young and/or small hands.
