The Cadete and Señorita are designed for the musician with smaller hands, such as younger players and some female guitarists. The Cadete offers a 580 mm scale length and is designed for younger players. Some would say this guitar was 3/4 size. The Señorita is somewhat longer at 636 mm and more suited for smaller adults. Some would say this guitar was 7/8 size. These two instruments are more comfortable due to their narrower, shallower necks and the relatively smaller body. Both the Cadete and Señorita have been designed for standard tuning.

The Requinto has been designed for a higher tuning. With its scale-length of 544 mm. This model is designed for tuning one fifth higher than standard depending on strings used.
