Yamaha CGX122M classical guitars combine traditional design aesthetics and craftsmanship with modern innovations, resulting in instruments offering exquisite tone and superb playability. They feature solid spruce (CGX122MS) or solid cedar (CGX122MC) tops, elegant matte finishes, fully integrated onboard pickup systems for live performance or recording, and convenient built-in digital tuners. More than a half-century ago, Yamaha consulted legendary Spanish classical guitar luthiers such as Manuel Hernandez and Eduardo Ferrer in the pursuit of building world-class guitars, and all present day Yamaha classical guitars are firmly based upon that original foundation.

Exquisite Tone and Superb Playability

CG classical guitars boast high-quality construction, rich tone and easy playability. Each model is built to our skilled builders' precise specifications, and all models, except the CG102 & CGX102, feature solid tops and backs and sides made from hand-selected tonewoods.

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 to include cutting-edge technology, Yamaha has created many of the world’s finest classical guitars. Embrace that spirit and discover your own inspiration.
