Perfect for transitioning students

I bought this for my daughter who is moving from a smaller student guitar to a full-size instrument. The solid top gives it a rich, warm tone that sounds much more expensive than it is. The built-in transducer is a huge plus for her recitals.

Best gift for my son

My son needed a reliable guitar for his music classes. This model fits him perfectly despite being a full size, as the neck profile is very playable. The case included was a nice bonus, though we bought a hard case separately for extra protection.

Yamaha quality shines through

This is my third Yamaha guitar, and they never disappoint. The craftsmanship is excellent, with no sharp fret ends. The sound projection is impressive for a guitar in this price range, making it suitable for both practice and small performances.

Excellent for recording

I use this primarily for home recording, and the transducer pickup captures the natural acoustic sound beautifully without too much noise. It's become my go-to guitar for tracking classical pieces.

Solid top makes a difference

The solid spruce top really opens up the sound compared to laminate models I've tried. It takes a little time to break in, but the tone is becoming richer every day. The only minor issue is the tuning pegs feel a bit stiff initially.

Great value classical guitar

As an adult beginner, I wanted something authentic but affordable. The action is comfortable right out of the box, and the nylon strings are gentle on the fingers. The electronics work well when plugged into my amp.

5 FAQ

Q: Does the transducer system require a battery?

A: No, the SRT transducer system in the CGTA is passive and does not require a battery. It draws power directly from the connected amplifier or PA system.

Q: Does this guitar come with a gig bag or case?

A: The Yamaha CGTA typically ships in a standard cardboard box with protective packaging. A gig bag or hard case is usually sold separately, depending on the specific retailer bundle.

Q: Is the neck width suitable for someone with smaller hands?

A: The CGTA features a standard classical nut width of approximately 52mm. While wider than steel-string acoustics, many players with smaller hands adapt quickly due to the flat fingerboard radius. We recommend trying one in person if possible.

Q: Can I use steel strings on this classical guitar?

A: No, you should never use steel strings on a classical guitar like the CGTA. Classical guitars are designed for the lower tension of nylon strings; steel strings can warp the neck or lift the bridge.

Q: What type of cable do I need to plug this into an amplifier?

A: You will need a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable (mono) to connect the guitar's output jack to your amplifier or audio interface.
