This compact size makes frets and strings more accessible for smaller hands, allowing beginners to develop proper technique and advance quickly.

Yamaha constructed the CGS102AII from spruce, rosewood, and mahogany; tonewoods prized for their musical qualities. The spruce top provides a robust, balanced tone with clear highs and tight lows. Rosewood back and sides add warmth, richness, and projection. A mahogany neck contributes to the guitar's sustain and note clarity. Together, these premium tonewoods give the CGS102AII an authentic classical voice perfect for practice and performance.
