Reasons to buy the Yamaha CGS103A
This is one of Yamaha's most popular guitars for beginners and intermediate guitarists. It's a good option for younger guitarists who want a product that bridges the gap between child-sized and full-sized guitars. It's a comfortable guitar to play because of its slightly smaller size too.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It's an excellent, entry-level guitar that delivers bright, lively tone. For anyone who wants to create Latin music, then it's a solid choice, we think, but it is versatile too, so don't let the Spanish-vibe put you off if you're planning to play a different style of music. Overall, it's quite simply a typically, high-grade instrument from Cordoba. |
It's a lovely instrument that far out-performs the reasonable price tag. The 3/4 size makes it suite to smaller guitarists or to youngsters who want to move from a kids model to a larger guitar that isn't as big as a full-sized model. Typically for Yamaha, the tone is great too, and it's built to last. |
