CG / CGX

CG series are created using the experience and technology gained from decades of hand crafting 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 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.

Exquisite Tone and Superb Playability

The Yamaha CG series of classical guitars offers instruments with rich tone, easy playability, and high-quality construction. Each model is meticulously built to the precise specifications of Yamaha’s highly skilled builders. And all models (except CG102 & CGX102) feature solid tops. Backs and sides are made from hand-selected tone woods.

Choose From a Wide Variety of Models

CG series are available in a variety of models featuring various body styles, tone woods, 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 with cutting-edge technology, Yamaha has upheld this spirit and tradition, creating many of the world’s finest classical guitars. Embrace that spirit and discover your own inspiration.


Features

New bracing pattern, thinner bridge plate

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.

Top material

All models in the new CG series lineup are available with either a spruce or cedar top. You can choose the top according to your preferences for tone or wood texture.

Spruce: Clear fundamental tone. Massive tone with great variation according to touch. Tone improves as the wood matures.

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.

Stable Neck Condition

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.

Saddle fit

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 to transfer rich resonance to the body.
