Eko CS-5 3/4 Natural Satin

An ideal study guitar for beginners.

The CS-5 was developed and manufactured by Eko, an Italian musical instrument maker since 1959. It belongs to the brand’s Studio series, which features guitars offering excellent value for money, specifically designed for aspiring musicians looking for their first instrument on which to learn the ropes. Affordable and very easy to handle, this intermediate-size classical guitar is ideal for learning to play guitar with ease, or for moving on from a 1/2-size guitar.

A perfect 3/4 size for young guitarists.

Standard-size classical guitars are not very well suited to children’s body shape: the body is too wide and the neck too long to handle comfortably. The CS-5 has the advantage of offering a 3/4 size, with a shorter neck and a more compact body, making it ideal for children and young teenagers aged 9 to 12 who want to study the instrument without being hindered by the larger size of a 4/4 guitar.

Careful construction and a modern satin finishing.

The CS-5 is carefully crafted to provide young guitarists with ideal playing comfort and good tone. In terms of construction, the top is made of Agathis, while the sides and back are made of Birch.  The neck is made of Mahogany and the key is made of Birch, offering good long-term durability. The instrument features a satin finishing for a modern touch and smoother playing comfort.
Finally, the CS-5 is an ideal guitar for children and young teenagers thanks to its more user-friendly size compared with a traditional 4/4 guitar, all at exceptional value for money.
