Drawing from over half a century of Spanish luthier traditions and modern innovation, Yamaha's CG series classical guitars represent the perfect fusion of time-honoured craftsmanship and contemporary design. Built upon the foundation established by legendary Spanish masters Eduardo Ferrer and Manuel Hernandez, these instruments carry forward the spirit of classical guitar making that traces back to Antonio de Torres, the most celebrated Spanish guitar maker of the 19th century.
The CG series offers musicians a comprehensive range of models featuring various body styles, tonewoods, and finishes including both gloss and matte options. Each guitar is meticulously constructed to precise specifications by Yamaha's highly skilled builders, with all models featuring solid tops and backs and sides crafted from hand-selected tonewoods. Selected models also include pickup/preamp systems for amplified performance.
What sets the CG series apart is its combination of rich tone with improved volume and response, superior playability through comfortable neck design and optimal string height, plus an elegant appearance that reflects thoughtful, understated styling. The CG122MC exemplifies this approach with its solid western red cedar top, rosewood fingerboard, and sophisticated matte finish — producing sound quality that rivals instruments costing considerably more.
