1/2 classical child guitar for a solid start
The Salvador Cortez CS-212 is a 1/2 classical child guitar with a 560 mm scale length. That makes it a suitable choice for young players who need a smaller instrument for first lessons and practice at home. In the product information, the CS-212 is described as an entry-level guitar with excellent playability and a friendly price.
This classical guitar comes with Savarez New Cristal Corum hard tension strings. The adjustable truss rod helps when neck adjustment is needed; this can be done professionally in the Magna Music workshop.
Construction of the Salvador Cortez CS-212
The top is made of spruce, combined with sapele for the back and sides and also for the neck. The fingerboard and bridge are Indian laurel, with a laurel veneer on the headstock. This wood combination forms the basis of the good-sounding classical guitar mentioned in the product information.
The satin open pore finish is used on the body, neck and headstock, giving the Salvador Cortez CS-212 a neat natural look. Black ABS binding on the front and back of the body and along the fingerboard completes the instrument cleanly.
Practical details and finish
The nut width is 45 mm and the neck width at the 12th fret is 55 mm. The body length is 420 mm, with an upper bout of 245 mm, a waist of 215 mm, a lower bout of 334 mm and a body depth of 89 / 82 mm. This gives you a clear idea of the size if you are looking for a compact nylon-string guitar.
Nickel frets, an ABS nut and saddle, and gold tuners with lyre styling and black buttons complete the instrument. There is no strap button, which matches the classical design of this child guitar.
