Product Description
The Yamaha CG122MS is a superb step up from an entry-level classical, offering a more refined tone and feel without a premium price tag. With its solid Engelmann spruce top and comfortable classical body, it is designed to reward regular practice with a sound that becomes richer and more expressive over time.
Ideal for progressing students and hobbyists, the CG122MS combines Yamaha’s renowned build quality with player-friendly features. A matte finish, smooth nato neck and rosewood fingerboard make it easy on the hands, while the bright, clear voice of spruce helps every note ring out with clarity in lessons, rehearsals or home practice.
Solid Engelmann Spruce Top
At the heart of the CG122MS is a solid Engelmann spruce top, a traditional choice for classical guitars. Unlike laminate tops, solid spruce responds and improves the more you play, opening up in volume, warmth and nuance over the years. Engelmann spruce in particular offers a sweet, clear tone with excellent projection, helping melodies and arpeggios cut through with definition while still sounding musical and balanced.
Comfortable Classical Body and Neck
The full-size classical body gives you the familiar feel and acoustic response that classical technique demands. A nato neck with a traditional nut width provides the space needed for accurate finger placement and clean chord shapes, while the satin-style matt finish helps your hand glide smoothly up and down the neck. This combination makes longer practice sessions more comfortable and encourages good playing habits as you progress.
Matt Finish for a Natural Feel
Both the body and neck feature a matt finish that feels natural and unobtrusive. This low-sheen surface reduces stickiness compared to high-gloss finishes, which is especially helpful for beginners and intermediate players still developing their technique. It also allows the wood to resonate freely, supporting the guitar’s open, responsive character.
Reliable Hardware and Rosewood Appointments
Rosewood is used for both the fingerboard and bridge, providing a smooth playing surface and stable platform for the strings. Chrome tuners keep the instrument in tune and are easy to adjust, making tuning straightforward for learners. Together, these components contribute to a dependable instrument that you can pick up day after day with confidence.
Features
- Solid Engelmann Spruce Top - A solid top delivers a tone that grows richer and more resonant the more you play. Engelmann spruce offers a bright yet sweet sound with excellent clarity, helping your technique and musical expression come through clearly.
