Overview

Playing classical repertoire with warmth and response is the goal of this Yamaha cedar top, the flagship of the CG series. Rosewood back and sides add depth, an ebony fingerboard gives a smooth, durable playing surface, and nylon strings provide the classical voice.

Cedar responds quickly to a light touch, so students and serious amateurs hear dynamics clearly from day one. Rosewood and ebony add depth and durability. It is acoustic only with no listed case, and warranty coverage depends on buying from an authorized dealer.

Who it's for

Classical students moving past a first guitar get a responsive instrument with quality woods. Pop and folk strummers who want bright steel strings should look elsewhere.

Performance notes

Warmth and quick response come from the cedar top, which is lighter and more pliant than spruce and opens up without long break-in. Rosewood back and sides add bass depth and sustain. Nylon strings at low tension give the soft attack classical music relies on.
