The Santana Classical 17 SNA is a 3/4 classical guitar designed for children and beginners who are ready to start playing a real instrument. Its smaller body size makes it easier to sit with, easier to hold and more comfortable for young players than a full-size classical guitar.
The 3/4 size is typically suitable for children around 8–11 years old or approximately 130–150 cm tall. Every child is different, but height is often a better guide than age when choosing the right guitar size. For many younger players, the right size can make a big difference in comfort, motivation and the desire to keep practising.
The guitar is fitted with nylon strings, which feel softer on the fingertips than steel strings. This makes it a good choice for first chords, simple melodies, music lessons and everyday practice at home. It has the feel of a proper classical guitar, but in a more manageable size for smaller hands.
The Santana Classical 17 SNA features a laminated spruce top in a natural satin finish, with nato back, sides and neck. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge, black body binding and decorative soundhole rosette give the guitar a traditional classical look.
Although it is primarily made as a beginner guitar for children, the compact 3/4 size also makes it practical as a small travel guitar. It is easy to take to lessons, bring on holiday or keep nearby at home when a full-size guitar feels too large.
