The GA5TCE3Q is a 3/4-size nylon-string with built-in electronics -- a combination that's surprisingly hard to find. The spruce top and sapele back and sides produce a warm, sweet classical tone in a compact body that's ideal for younger students, players with smaller hands, or anyone who finds full-size classical guitars uncomfortable. The 23.2" scale length keeps the string tension relaxed and easy on the fingers.

The cutaway body and 18-fret access give this little guitar more versatility than a standard student classical, and the AEQ-2T preamp with undersaddle pickup and onboard tuner mean your young performer can plug in for recitals and school performances. Purpleheart fretboard and bridge add durability and a touch of visual elegance. A thoughtful instrument for growing musicians.
