Yamaha GC12 Handcrafted Cedar Classical Guitar

Overview

Playing intricate classical pieces calls for touch response, and the Yamaha handcrafted classical answers with a cedar top over mahogany back and sides. An ebony fretboard and matte neck finish make it smooth under the hand.

All wood construction gives a rich, articulate voice that grows richer with age. Key dimensions like scale length and nut width are missing, which matters for classical players.

Who it's for

Serious students and recital players who want an instrument that improves over the years will appreciate it. Gigging players who plug in should look at an electro classical model.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Tone comes from the cedar top, which responds quickly to a light touch, over mahogany that adds low end richness and sustain. All wood guitars open up as the wood ages and is played.
