Overview
A three ply neck built to resist warping anchors the Yamaha cedar top classical, keeping its low string action stable. The cedar top over nato back and sides gives a warm nylon string voice borrowed from Yamaha's handcrafted line.
A cedar top and low action make it easy to play and warm sounding for students. Nato back and sides are a more basic tonewood than rosewood or mahogany.
Who it's for
Students and hobby players learning fingerstyle and classical pieces will appreciate the comfortable action. Performers who plug in should look at an electro classical model.
Pros and cons
- Cedar top for warm tone
- Warp resistant neck
- Low action eases playing
- Rosewood fingerboard and bridge

Performance notes
Warmth comes from the cedar top, which responds readily to a light touch. The laminated neck resists bending under string tension so action stays low over time. Nylon strings give a soft, round attack.
