General

Novice guitarists won't believe their luck with the Yamaha CG142C! This 4/4-sized classical guitar has the price of an entry-level guitar with a solid top that belongs in a higher price class. The solid top is made of American cedar for a nice spacious, warm sound. For a brighter sound with more clarity, try out the CG142S with a spruce top.

High quality construction of the Yamaha CG142C

The Yamaha CG142C shares the same specifications as the CG122MC except that it has a glossy finish and a cedar top (as opposed to the spruce top of the CG122MC). In addition to an American cedar top, the CG142C has sides and back of nato, often referred to as "eastern mahogany" for the same deep, warm intonation and colour that it shares with real mahogany. The neck is also made of nato and is equipped with a 52mm-wide 19-fret rosewood fingerboard. Yamaha has also given the neck and extra thin profile so it's easier to play for small and large hands alike.

Advantages of a solid top

The solid top of the Yamaha CG142C helps the body to resonate much better than a laminated top would. This results in a unique sound along with a great dynamic range with balanced low and high tones. Furthermore, the solid top gives added sustain so your notes will sing on long after you strike the string. As you can see, this guitar produces serious sound for serious beginner guitarists!
