General

The stylish Yamaha CG162S classical guitar natural combines a sleek design with a tight sound. This nylon-string guitar has a solid spruce top, and the sides and back are made from ovangkol. Characteristic of this tropical West African wood type is a combination of a rosewood appearance with a lively, sparkling tone. Finally, the guitar is a real eye-catcher with its high-gloss lacquer.

CG162S Classical Guitar: Ease of use

The Yamaha CG162S classical guitar plays just as well as its sleek design would suggest. Yamaha has combined a sturdy neck with a long scale length so you don't have to push your strings in as far to play a note. The back of the neck also has a matte finish that ensures your left hand will always have a good grip. Big hands? No problem. The relatively wide fretboard makes it easier for you to play.

Eye for detail

The Yamaha CG162S classical guitar natural has been designed with a special eye for detail. The back of the body has a sleek inlay down the middle, and the front of the guitar isn't lacking in detail with its high-gloss lacquer and sound hole rosette. Gold-plated open tuners complete the stylish picture.

Wrote the following about Yamaha CG162S classical guitar natural

Deze Spaanse gitaar is heel mooi afgewerkt, zoals in de omschrijving staat met goed materiaal en fraaie hoogglanslak. De klank is open en heel mooi in balans, het massieve bovenblad heeft daar veel mee te maken. Naarmate ik er meer op gespeeld heb klinkt het nog mooier en warmer.

De stemmechanieken zijn stevig en prettig te bedienen. De hals is breed (zoals het hoort bij een Spaanse gitaar) en is D-shaped. Gelukkig heeft Yamaha gekozen voor een niet te dikke hals, dat speelt zeer comfortabel. De action (afstand tussen de snaren en de hals) is in mijn geval niet zo voordelig als in de beschrijving. Bij mijn exemplaar kon ik daar zelf nog wat aan verbeteren. De hals is zeer zorgvuldig gemaakt en toonzuiver.

De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is - als andere exemplaren goed zijn afgesteld - prima vanwege de degelijkheid en de transparante en warme klank. Prima duurzame studiegitaar om vele jaren mee vooruit te kunnen. Tenminste daar ga ik vanuit.
