First, let's have a look at the Yamaha CGS102A Half-Size Classical Guitar.
The second product we will be examining in this comparison is the Smartxchoices Acoustic Guitar for Starter.
Next up another Yamaha option this time a classical guitar rather than an acoustic. It is actually a half-sized classical guitar which is built using the same wood choices as the model above. It features a Meranti back and sides, spruce top, and rosewood covered finger-board.
This next guitar we suspect is manufactured on the same lines as the Lagrima model we have highlighted as it differs very little to the model and sells with the same starter bundle of accessories including the manual pitch-pipe tuner, which we are sure kids are going to enjoy.

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It is another great classical option priced competitively against our opening product and whilst it doesn't come with a bundle of goodies it is exceptionally well put-together and the spruce makes for a better sounding board than the basswood in our opinion. |
It is great to look at and appears very well made and pretty cheap for a steel string option, it has a larger size and just manages to undercut its competitors. |
