From Yamaha comes a beautiful classical acoustic guitar that's built with strength and design that both beginners and seasoned players can appreciate, and is offered at a price that anybody can afford.
The Yamaha CG162C classical guitar produces a soft sound ideal for finger-picking, or intimate chord progressions, thanks to its nylon strings and superior woods. The full-size classical guitar design features strong mid-range and lower-mids, with emphasis on balanced tone. The end result is a Yamaha guitar with lots of smooth, classical appeal, for a great price.
The solid cedar top produces clear balanced tone, with a soft voice. The ovangkol back and sides add a lively sparkle with lots of responsiveness. The nato neck complements these qualities and adds clarity and dynamics to a Yamaha guitar with lots of dimension. Adjust your attack and sustain for each note, and the Yamaha CG162C guitar responds accordingly.
Other features of the Yamaha guitar include rosewood bridge and fretboard, white pearloid peg tuners, and gold hardware for a classic-looking classical guitar. Built to the precise specifications of Yamaha's master craftsmen, the CG162C nylon-string guitar will continue to sound as good as the day you bought it. Make that day today and order now. Case sold separately.
The NTX1 acoustic-electric, nylon-string guitar's modern looks and comfortable neck profile enable electric guitarists and steel-string players to easily explore the world of nylon-string playing, while strap buttons and exceptional amplified sound make it especially appealing to performing guitarists.
