Oookay...I'd been kicking around the idea of getting a second guitar for quite awhile; due to changes in my living arrangements I wanted to get something smaller, nylon stringed, with good sound quality that didn't cost too much. I'd looked for parlor guitars, but most were steel stringed and still fairly spendy.
So...I decided to look into smaller "student" classical guitars, figuring that "hey, they're designed to withstand what an 8 year old can dish out and still sound reasonably good, why not?" Other than the shorter scale length (which isn't a show stopper for me - I'm a fairly small guy anyway) the issue was to find one that was, um, "inexpensive". And...gravitated to Yamaha, since I've been playing (i.e. torturing) their instruments for over half a century now.
Looked into the CGS103AII, still a bit pricey at $139, buuuut...they had a factory return in "very good" condition for quite a bit less. Figured it was in the "cheap enough" category, and pulled the Amazonian trigger. The kindly folks even dropped it another $6 & change, so with fear and trepidation I awaited the arrival of "the beast".
It arrived with the usual Amazon haste - and, I got a box that hadn't been banged up. Inside...poured foam protecting the contents. The git was in a high density polyethylene bag, taped up securely, inside what appeared to be the lower part of the original box, with the usual Yamaha documentation in a Ziploc bag. Pulled 'er out...out of tune (natch) and spent a good 10 minutes looking for damage. The original blurb said "cosmetic damage to lower body" which turned out to be...tape adhesive. 30 seconds with guitar cleaner and a microfiber cloth, and I had what was effectively a brand-new 3/4 scale classical guitar. Tuned her up...very nice mellow tone, good sustain, a bit of loss on the high & low frequencies but not at all "boxy". Intonation was pretty darn decent ("G" doing what "G"s usually do, everything else stays within 8-10 cents which for a guitar just a shade over $120 is not at all shabby) and it's quiet enough that the neighbors (my roommates) don't complain.
Overall - a fantastic little guitar for anyone looking for a nylon stringed instrument. It's a keeper!
I personally like smaller parlor size acoustic guitars, so I was drawn to this guitar for that reason along with the price tag. The playability of this instrument is really enjoyable, and is without any flaws I can see. This is a guitar that would make learning on a classical guitar easier, and will grow with you as you improve.
Yamaha is a brand in musical instruments you can trust to make a good quality instrument just as much as squier or epiphone within lower end budget guitars. They also offer higher end models that are even comparable to the high end big dog names out there.
This at the end of the day is a beautiful little guitar that will bring you great enjoyment for years to come. You can buy with 100% confidence that you are getting a great instrument.
