Exceptional value for solid wood
As a teacher, I recommend the CG122MC to all my intermediate students. Finding a full solid wood guitar at this price point from a reputable brand like Yamaha is rare. The sustain is impressive.

Great sound, needs setup
The tone is beautiful and very balanced across all strings. However, the strings it came with were a bit stiff. After changing to a premium set and doing a minor setup, it plays like a dream.

Solid choice for classical repertoire
Very clear trebles and deep basses. It handles complex fingerstyle pieces without any buzzing. Only giving 4 stars because the case was sold separately, but the guitar itself is a 5-star instrument.

Perfect for my conservatory exams
I bought this for my daughter who is preparing for her Grade 8 exam. The solid wood construction gives it a rich, warm tone that rivals guitars twice the price. The action is low and comfortable for smaller hands.

Upgrade from laminate was worth it
I upgraded from a laminated beginner guitar, and the difference in resonance is night and day. The solid spruce top really opens up after playing it for a few weeks. Highly recommended for serious learners.

Beautiful craftsmanship
The finish is flawless, and the rosette details are elegant. It stays in tune very well, which is crucial for long practice sessions. The neck profile feels very natural under the hand.
Q: What is the difference between the CG122MC and the CG122MS?
A: The primary difference is the back and sides material. The CG122MC features Solid Mahogany back and sides, offering a warmer, deeper tone, while the CG122MS uses Solid Maple for a brighter, more articulate sound.
Q: Does this guitar come with a hard case included?
A: No, the Yamaha CG122MC is typically sold as the guitar only. We recommend purchasing a compatible classical guitar hard case or a high-quality gig bag separately for protection.
Q: Is this guitar appropriate for professional performances?
A: While it is an excellent student and intermediate instrument, many semi-professional musicians use the CG series for rehearsals and smaller venues due to its reliable solid wood construction and consistent tone.
Q: Can I use steel strings on this guitar?
A: Absolutely not. This guitar is designed specifically for nylon strings. Using steel strings will exert too much tension on the neck and bridge, potentially causing permanent damage to the instrument.
Q: Is the nut width suitable for players with larger fingers?
A: Yes, this model features a standard classical nut width of 52mm (approx. 2.05 inches), which provides ample spacing for fingerstyle playing and is comfortable for players with larger hands.
