Yamaha are known for building high quality classical guitars, even at the more budget end of the price spectrum. A Yamaha Classical Guitar such as this CG122MS is no exception.

The CG122MS makes an ideal student guitar.

The choice of a nylon string classical for a student is a good one. The strings are softer than the steel found on standard acoustic guitars, which makes them easy on young fingers and offering the beginner the chance to sound great with less effort.

This guitar will also sound rich and full like a genuine full size guitar that it is, with a solid spruce top.

We also love the unique matt finish of the CG122MS that stands out as a classic look in a world of gloss guitars. Check out our video to hear the Yamaha CG122MS in action:
