Yamaha CGS102A

Bought for 6y old daughter, to spark her interest in guitar play. She is 121cm tall, and this fits her size perfectly.

The guitar itself sounds reasonably well, but loses depth as you move up the frets (expected). My only qualm with this is the tuning, which will only hold for one session. Strings B and G seem to loosen most, the rest stay quite close to tuning. I don't know if this is product specific, or I just got a faulty item. I'm sure this can be fixed, but I don't want the hassle. Doesn't bother me much, because it forces my kid to practice tuning before exercising, and holds long enough for the kid to get bored.

Tuning issue aside, this is certainly fit for purpose and very much meets the product description.

As an absolute beginner's guitar, this is fine. The construction and sound is unspectacular at best, and sometimes mediocre (intonation is terrible past the first few positions, some of the fret ends need filing, etc.), but the quality is what I would expect at this price point.

As a guitar teacher, I would not recommend this instrument for a serious student, but it is perfect for the 6 to 8 year old child who is interested in playing, but not yet ready to fully commit to the instrument. In other words, for the young, curious prospective guitarist, it's a great place to get started; getting comfortable with the guitar and with the ritual of playing. In that context, I would recommend this instrument.
