  • Product Description

    Drawing upon the vast knowledge and techniques of our master craftsmen, the CG series nylon string guitars were developed to deliver top-level sound quality, performance, and playability at a reasonable price. Many factors of the high-end handcrafted GC series classical guitars have been implemented to share the improved sound, playability, and cosmetic design.


    From the manufacturer

    Yamaha CG122MSH Solid Spruce Top Classical Guitar

    CG series are created using the experience and technology gained from decades of hand crafting fine classical guitars. The series offers ten models divided into five grades making it easy to find a guitar that fits your sound and design requirements. The CG series offers rich tone with improved volume, tone quality and response, superior playability with its easy to hold neck design and comfortable string height, and elegant appearance with its simple design.

    Yamaha CG122MSH is extremely affordable. The combination of the solid Spruce top and the matte finish provide the loud and warm sound. And you can feel the superb playability with the lower string action.

    • Solid Spruce Top
    • All Matte Finish
    • Lower String Action

    The new CG series features a new bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance. These guitars also feature a bridge plate that efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.

    Cedar: Bright, warm tone. Excellent response with relatively thick treble. Cedar offers a mature tone with little change over time, providing a high level of perfection.

    Necks utilize a strong 3-ply laminate design that resists warping and twisting. This design improves neck strength, offers greater stability against shape changes over time, and allows lower string height. In addition to providing greater neck stability, the laminated design also makes effective use of resources.

    The matte finish on the back of the neck allows the left hand to move smoothly while also providing a secure grip. The finish is applied with a thin coat that contributes to improved resonance. The same matte finish is applied to the bridge for improved resonance.

    Looks Good, Sounds Good.
    I purchased this guitar to learn to play guitar, once again, with the hoped ease of using a wider neck and softer nylon strings. I unboxed it, I tuned it, I strummed it a few times, and placed it in the guitar stand to sleep a few days and become acclimated to my home. I came back a few days later and found the D string completely shredded. Maybe I overtighted it, but more likely the stock strings are not very good. I replaced the shredded strings with D'Addario Pro Arte EJ45 nylon core strings. We'll see if this holds up to my neglect and use.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021
    This is a great guitar for your money. I bought it for my son for 9 years. The guitar is the optimal size and very light in weight. The sound is very chic, the cedar masive resonates perfectly and the sound is rich. I gave it to two professional guitarists for a test, they were impressed by this guitar and its sound. The build quality is at the highest level, the guitar is matte and pleasant to the touch. The strings are of medium quality and do not hold frets for a long time, it is better to check the tuning with a toner before playing. But the strings can be replaced over time, they are enough for studying. I recommend this guitar, you will not regret buying it, it falls in love with itself from the first contact with it.
