JoLuck A6 Cantabile Classical Guitar Review – I've henjoyed testing and playing the A6 Cantabile classical guitar from JoLuck. They have a great line of small scale guitars at various price points and design options so check out their website to see the full product line. The JoLuck A6 Cantabile has some important features usually found on much higher priced guitars. The all solid wood construction, 12 hole bridge, high C, tuners, and defined and balanced sound all contribute to a good value at this price point.

The small scale (630mm) length and slightly smaller body feel exactly like my professional instrument and is a pleasure to play. Many small scale guitars are built to crossover specs but the A6 feels like a proper classical guitar with a normal neck profile. It's a bit more comfortable for shorter people or those with small hands; or just for those who enjoy the feel of a slightly smaller instrument. As they mention on their site: "In addition to the benefits of the 630mm scale length, there is another advantage of the JoLuck guitar. The body size of the JoLuck guitar is slightly larger than a normal 7/8 guitar, providing a richer and fuller sound. This makes it even more appealing for those who may have been hesitant to try a 7/8 guitar in the past."

It has a pleasant tone but it's the clarity and balance across the strings that I most appreciate. I also love seeing the high C and the 12 hole bridge on a guitar at this price. Tuners look good and are nice and smooth. There is no raised fingerboard but I don't mind as I think that would raise the price a bit too much for something that is not essential. At this price I'd rather see the value go into other features as it has here. The responsiveness is surprisingly good for a traditional design at this price. It was very easy to bring out musical lines within a texture. The tone and sound of the guitar is very good for this price, there is a touch of hollowness to the depth of sound but I would imagine that will improve with the aging and playing of the spruce top. Every guitar has tone qualities that are either desirable and not but the balance and responsiveness are the benefits of this guitar.

Overall, the JoLuck A6 Cantabile is a great value and I'm happy to recommend this guitar to my students. The small scale size and all solid woods as well a number of modern features makes this instrument very desirable at this price point.
