Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Excellent student guitar

I have guitars, basses and drums in the "guitar room" downstairs and my 5 year old granddaughter and 8 year old grandson love "playing" them at every opportunity. My grandson has started guitar lessons through an after school program, and he's very excited to learn how to play. The school uses the Yamaha CGS103A as the instrument of choice and they provide him with a rather beat up loaner to learn on so he is familiar with the instrument and likes it.
He asked Santa for his very own acoustic guitar "just like my school guitar" for Christmas so luckily, my friends at Sweetwater (where I buy all my gear-thanks Dustin!) had in stock.
As always, I received the guitar quickly and in pristine condition.
I should mention that my grandson is left handed so I did restring the guitar for a lefty which is much easier with a nylon string classical as the nut cuts are relatively the same for all strings and the bridge isn't compensated very much, so it works well.
I am very impressed with the guitar! Beautiful wood, stable tuners, nice action, and amazing tone! I played it some before restringing and was quite amazed at the playability, tone and quality at this price point! My only other Yamaha is a SBV500 4-string bass which is excellent so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised.
Thanks to Dustin Keesbury and everyone at Sweetwater for another perfect transaction, beautiful addition to my family's collection, and helping make my grandson very happy on Christmas morning!

Great Guitar and Great Assistance in Purchasing

Adam was extremely helpful in assisting me in purchasing this guitar for my granddaughter. She love it. It is easy for her to hold and easy for her to reach the strings. Adam's helped me in every step as I knew nothing about a guitar. I really appreciate his patience, his kindness and his knowledge. Thank you so much Adam!!!!!

Amazing

I received really fast!!! very nice guitar to my 11 years old daughter .Thank you

Great !!

For the money this guitar has great features. First, it has a compensated bridge for better intonation. Having said that, the bridge is a little high you may want to sand it down on the bottom like a millimeter or two. Second, it has a satin neck which is way better than a heavily lacquered one. Third, the 3/4 size is a great size especially with the nut width which on this one is less than 2 inches most classical have a 2 inch nut, which is too wide for me. Bottom line, Yamaha seems to put a lot of thought into their guitars, even the cheap ones.
