## Description

Product Description With a reliable build quality and tone, the Stagg C542 series of Classical Guitars is a good introduction into affordable guitar playing on an instrument that has been made to a high standard. Sometimes it is worth spending that little extra to let a beginner make the progress they deserve. Nylon-strung and with a body constructed entirely of basswood, the Stagg C542 Classical Guitar provides a typically warm sound, which is prefect for playing classical and flamenco music. Untypical is the finish of the guitar, with its standout black high gloss finish being a rarity in classical guitars. With a dark nato neck & head and painted maple fingerboard & bridge, the rosette on the Stagg C542 Classical Guitar is exceptionally striking, as are the nickel machine heads. If you're after an affordable and good beginner's classical guitar that looks anything but run of the mill you would be hard pressed to find something cooler than the Stagg C542 Classical Guitar.Available in a wide range of colour finishes Box Contains Classical Guitar

Review: A Great Guitar At A Good Price - I purchased this guitar for my boyfriend as a Christmas present. He'd told me that he tried to learn the guitar once many years ago, but had given up because he couldn't work the strings very well (he has wide fingers). He told me that he'd rather have played a Spanish Guitar because of the nylon strings, but that he'd never really had the motivation to try again, so I bought him this guitar to try and reignite his interest. He was thrilled with this guitar. It looks and feels good. The sound is also very good and just as you'd expect from a guitar. He's really looking forwards to learning to play it properly. I would definately recommend this guitar. The only downside I can see so far is that it doesn't come with extra strings, which would have been useful, but I can't really complain considering the quality of the guitar for the price I have paid. I don't really know the first thing about what makes a good guitar, but based on what my boyfriend has said, I think this deserves five stars. As I said, spare strings would have been nice, but I don't think that's a big enough deal to take off one star. :)
Review: Quite good (rich sound, fine finish & and solid tuners) - (was thinking 5 stars, but, some finish-related stuff and high weight make me give it 4 stars) Facts : - Length = 84cm, body-length = 40cm, body-width = 30cm (widest place), bodydepth = 8cm. - Colours/Wood: Front = orange/lightbrown, sides/back = red/flare/brown. - colours frets = "gold". - Piano Glossy/Shiny surface. - Strings: 3x metal (bass), 3x nylon (treble) Subjective / Impression : - nice glossy finish. - long-lasting tone (not very dampered inside the-body, but quite loud and nice). - Is quite heavy - seems like it is because of solid & heavy wood of the fretboard. - I am quite pleased with it - and the weight-issue (which is too much for a child 6-9 y.o., and even for me as a grown up) will be taken care of, with a proper guitar-strap (like many other guitar's out there, it doesn't come with a strap or strap-button, so this has to be ordered seperate). - The strings, being new, has to be adjusted, which my Snark-SN4 tuner helps a lot with. Size-Wise : - Size-wise it feels just perfect (to a 7-9 y.o.), and I was a bit worried and confused, as to if I should go for a 1/4 or 1/2 size, with a "higher than normal" 6 y.o. boy - as 1/2 size was only 15-17cm smaller in total length than my grown up, which is stil big and very unhandy for him. - The thing is, that the body is quite smaller than my "grown-up 101cm model" - and the fretboard is somewhat the same in length as my grown-up model. - I have included my measured sizes, to assist future buyers - as size differs, and it all can be very confusing, to buy online, from a not very detailed pic (and no pic showing the sides and back and tuners -by the way the tuners are "old-fashioned" Rococco-style, but does the job (stays in tune / doesn't move autonomously, have enough resistance/friction to stay put). Conclusion: This is a good quitar, especially for a starter. And, I see it fitting 7-9 y.o. kids (the 9 y.o. can maybe choose the 3/4 size, depending on child-size). The thing about size is also, that it seems that people (including me, here) seem to think "big" and "bigger" instead of "mastering and overviewing" and "being able to reach quickly and easy" - so one buys a bit bigger, and the kid struggles and also wants to be bigger and "more grown up" ... (I have experience with this, with a bicycle, when I was a kid - going on a small bicycle and mastering it (before Mountain-Bikes came around, and all bikes had relatively big wheels end size) - and I could go & manouvre where the larger bike-kids couldn't - I could "master my instrument/tool" ... this also applies to string-instruments: we want bigger and "future-proof" and maybe smaller will be the best. My boy now masters ukuleles (sopran to tenor), and he seems to handle the concert-size the best - so, here I am buying a "big baritone" for him ... I hope to get back with this, to convey what happens in the next months-years, regarding him and his twin-sister playing the string-instrumetns and this guitar - how he feels with it (I actually also has bought it to inspire him, thinking that he will begin using it in 1-2 years from now, and just will try it out now-and-then, in the mean-time).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have steel strings?**
A: No. And in fact very few 3/4 size guitars do and they are best avoided. Nylon strings are better for young beginners due to the material and lack of tension.

**Q: How wide is the fretboard please?**
A: 1 1/2 inches at the nut

**Q: what is the tuning for this instrument?**
A: I also had difficulty tuning this guitar as it was a present for my nephew. However I remember a small label attached to it instructed to tune this 1/4 size guitar using the music Key of A or A Sharp. Hope this helps. Regards Samantha Wallace

**Q: is this suitable for a 10 year old**
A: Not suitable for my son 8 year old 1meter 43cm he can't play AL the chords a G And F

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Size matters.........
*by S***Y on 29 January 2010*

A very nice guitar from Normans who posted the guitar well packed and very quickly in time for Christmas. Initial thoughts were that it wouldn't hold it's tuning, however after an hour of stretching and tightening the strings, problem solved and the tone from such a small and brand new guitar is very nice and suprisingly mellow, straight out of the box. I purchased the guitar for my 5 year old son deciding after reading various reviews of other small guitars that a half size would be too small for him. Having seen how the 3/4 looks like a double bass on his knee i maybe should have gone with the 1/2 size, but it will be around for a while, and i'm assuming he's not ging to get any smaller, so it's there for fun now, and more serious playing in a year or two, which was really always the intention anyway. All in all a very nice guitar and well worth the money, however if you're buying a guitar for a 4-6 year old child learning reasonably seriously i'd consider a half size first.
