Review: Great affordable electric acoustic classical guitar. - TLDR; Wonderful all around affordable classical guitar. Pickup works great. I teach music to young children (6 and under) and needed an affordable instrument I could use with them (don't want to risk my expensive Martin 000-15M). This is the third guitar I purchased for this purpose. I returned the other two (yamaha c40 and cordoba c5). I liked the c40, but it had some build quality problems (lots of fret buzz, bridge buzz). This plays very like the c40 but it built much better as far as I can tell (no buzz etc). The tuner and electronics are great. Very easy to use and effective. Despite the included pickup etc. this is still a very light guitar. Very comfortable to play. Sounds great. This also has a guitar strap post on the bottom of the guitar (unlike the c40 which lacked it). I liked this much much better than the cordoba, which had great reviews but sucked in person. My only complaints are the decorative tuners which look a bit silly, and the fact that you cannot adjust the action on this guitar (no adjustable truss rod etc.). The action is great, but still it would be nice to have that option. At $300 though, I cannot complain. This is a quality instrument that is really fun to play. Review: Great little guitar! - Very good little guitar! If you are looking into buying a small guitar for traveling or to your kids, look no further. It is a perfect kids guitar as it is easy to tune, sounds good and has smaller spaced frets. For 100 bucks it is good value as the craftmanship is amazing! Compared to toy guitars or other Chinese produced crap which is not playable, this guitar could be played by an adult, altough a bit unusual due to the small frets and higher tuning. As a bonus it is NOT made in China! ## Features - System 68N pickup system - Nylon Strings - Spruce Top w/Nato Back and Sides - Upgraded Tuners - Natural Color ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EIB33B0 | | Back Material Type | Locally Sourced Tonewood | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,415 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #109 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Spruce | | Body Material Type | Spruce | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 39 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | not included | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 40.96 x 19.26 x 5.4 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 40.96"L x 19.26"W x 5.4"H | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Manufacturer Part Number | CGX102 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | CGX102 | | Model Number | CGX102 | | Neck Material Type | Locally Sourced Tonewood | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | [25.5, 26.5] | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 086792973128 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.
