YAMAHA CGX122MC
The Yamaha CGX122MC features a solid cedar top and an elegant matte finish, a fully integrated onboard pickup system for live performance or recording, and a built-in tuner.
The CG Series was created using the experience and technology gained from decades of handcrafting fine, classical guitars. A wide variety of models makes it easy to find a guitar that fits your sound and design requirements. The CG Series also offers improved volume, tone quality and response, superior playability with its easy-to-hold neck design, comfortable string height and an elegant, simple design.
Exquisite Tone and Superb Playability
CG classical guitars boast high-quality construction, rich tone and easy playability. Each model is built to our skilled builders’ precise specifications, and all models, except the CG102 & CGX102, feature solid tops and backs and sides made from hand-selected tonewoods.
Wide Variety of Models
CG Series models feature various body styles, tonewoods and finishes (gloss or matte), and some models include pickup/preamp systems. This makes it easy to find the model that meets your sound and design preferences giving you the freedom to express your own unique identity.
Tradition Meets Innovation to Create Inspiration
Over a half-century ago, Yamaha called upon legendary Spanish master luthiers, Eduardo Ferrer (who studied under Antonio de Torres, the most celebrated Spanish guitar maker of the 19th century) and Manuel Hernandez to provide technical instruction for crafting impeccable classical guitars. Building upon this firm foundation and enhancing the designs to include cutting-edge technology, Yamaha has created many of the world’s finest classical guitars. Embrace that spirit and discover your own inspiration.
Thinner Bridge Plate
CG Series guitars feature a bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance. The bridge plate efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.
Top Material
All models in the CG Series lineup are available with either a spruce or cedar top. You can choose the top according to your preferences for tone and texture.
- Spruce: Clear, massive tone that improves as the wood matures with great variation according to touch.
- Cedar: Bright, warm, mature tone that changes very little over time with excellent response and relatively thick treble.
3-Ply Laminate Neck
Years of experience and original technologies have brought improvements to our saddle and saddle slot design. Crafting these components with great precision provides a highly accurate fit that improves attack and sustain while reducing string vibration loss transferring rich resonance to the body.
