Product Information

Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The CG142 is aimed at the beginner, perhaps the ambitious beginner who wants a bit more. It is a full size guitar with a full nut width of 2”.

CG Series The F-series from Yamaha is no joke and the value you get out of your money makes them a steal! In fact, Yamaha themselves markets these as the “Perfect Starter Guitars”…is this marketing true? The Cordoba company was founded in 1997, and since then it has been providing not only excellent guitars but also an excellent service. So, if you are looking for a direct descendant of the Spanish guitar tradition, Cordoba is a perfect and affordable option. And, since the vast, vast majority of guitars made are non-left-hand models (and left-hand models tend to be more expensive than their non-left-hand equivalents), learning to play a standard non-left-hand guitar opens up more possibilities for the future. The C40II is a great all-around guitar for the money. Though it is designed for beginners, if you’re in a classical model and trying to learn how to play guitar it might just be the perfect introductory model for you. It’s made with the beginner in mind, but long-time players will still find value in it. Prosand Cons Pros

In reviewing these instruments, I’ve paid close attention to the problems faced by a beginner upon getting his first guitar. Things like: Classical guitars come with nylon strings which are much softer and easier on your fingers than steel strings. This gentles the initial learning curve which can be very motivating for a beginner.The Yamaha C series guitars provide excellent cost performance for beginners and young learners with exceptional playability and superb tone.

In high-end guitars like the GC32, it’s not just the choice of the tonewoods. It’s in the particular choice of the actual pieces of wood that go to make a classical guitar.

The Yamaha C-Series is a line of beginner guitars from Yamaha. They have been built with playability in mind so these guitars work the best with beginners. The Yamaha C40 and C40II are true classics among full-size classical guitars. Handcrafted in Spain, the Alhambra company has been manufacturing its guitars since 1965. Their pieces are unique, produced blending traditional handmade work with modern woodworking techniques.

Great sound with easy playability. Those who may find the action a little high will have to lower the saddle but that’s not unusual these days on a new guitar. Another important thing to ask is how is the guitar setup out-of-the-box. This is a crucial thing as most beginners have no clue about guitar hardware setup. Guitars are probably one of the most popular and available musical instruments around the world, and classical guitars are the favorite version of this instrument.

The body is a classical guitar shape with no cutaways, it’s comfortable and easy to play, especially when sitting. As mentioned earlier, this is a question of learning intent and commitment to serious guitar playing. A passionate beginner who wishes to take the high road to learning deserves an instrument that resonates equally well.
