    • Surprisingly high performance from a classical guitar at this affordable price-point.
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
I bought this guitar for a "kick around" daily practice insrument that would spare my multi-thousand dollar concert quality instrument some added wear and tear. After playing it for a dozen hours, I'm very happy with it. It exceeds my erxpectations for a classical guitar at this price point. The solid cedar soundboard is everything I was hoping for. The sustain is better than I was expecting for this price point, and the fretting is next to perfect along the entire length of the fretboard. I had to add a set of higher-quality strings to suit my taste, but that is all. The string action, out-of-the-box, is perfect for my finger-style classical technique. It is very playable. I'm not sorry I bought it and am looking forward to many hours of enjoyable practice. ... show more

    • Warm Tone, Low Action — Love It
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
Really happy with this purchase. The solid cedar top produces a warm, rich tone, and the string action is low enough to make playing comfortable — especially for extended sessions

    • Quality reasonably priced!
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
This is my favorite classical guitar. I have owned and plaid it for four years and enjoyed it every time I have picked it up. It played good as received but I like a very low action and enjoy tinkering so I checked it quite thoroughly and found the neck and frets perfect. I lowered the nut slots slightly and lowered the saddle a bit to my preference. I like the lowest strings that do not buzz at all. Tonality is perfect. I carry it to practice and gigs bare so it has picked up a few little dings, but still looks nice with it's not glossy finish. I have played guitars that cost four times what I paid for it that played or sounded no better. Beginners guitar? Nope. ... show more

    • "Forever Home", part deux...
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
I was browsing Amazon, brain on idle, and drifted towards the guitar section. I'd been kicking around the idea of taking classical guitar instruction at a local community college, and figured my previous "rescue guitar" (Yamaha CGS103AII, see my review for details) probably wasn't going to be adequte for the task. Really wasn't intending to buy another instrument, and then...saw 2 returned CG122MCHs for sale in "good" condition. So, throwing caution (and money) to the wind, I ordered the cheaper of the two. Amazon responded before I could change my mind (no joke, it went from initial purchase to "Shipping Now" in about 7 hours, delivered in about 52 hours. Shoutout to the peeps at ONT6 BTW - we gotchu!) and I received a 5 foot tall box o'git Sunday morning, with no shipping damage apparent. Opened the box, aaaaand...dug through poured foam packing to find the instrument, wrapped in heavy duty polyethylene plastic with shipping tape holding it all together. Peeled the tape and plastic back to find...a pristine guitar, no physical damage noted. Gave 'er a strum, and...huh? Sounded a bit off, but gave 'er the benefit of the doubt. After getting a few more hours of sleep, got both of my classical guitars out for a head-to-head comparison. Re-strummed the CG122MCH, and noted it was way out of tune. Tuned it up, and since all the strings were out approximately equal amounts it was obvious it had been tuned at some point prior to arrival. Held tune just fine, and started running my usual checks. Intonation was dope (even the "G" string was within +-5 cents) and 2 things stood out: fretting was noticeably easier, and this thing is LOUD! Projects nicely, and tends to be a bit bass-heavy (cedar top, yo). Much greater sustain than the littler git, and not as bright. All in all, a worthy addition to the collection. Now, for the reason for 4 stars; the CG122MCH is advertised as having a "low action". Got my engineering ruler out, and measured the string height at the 12th fret. Low "E" was 4 mm off the top of the fret, and high "E" is 3.5 mm off the top of the fret. Folks, that's not a "low action", that's industry standard for a classical guitar, and is the same as the CGS103AII. Just a WAG on my part, but I suspect this instrument has light tension strings, making it easier to fret. Since I have zero idea what was done to the instrument prior to its arrival, I can't honestly blame Yamaha on this one. So...-1 star for standard string height, usual 5 for pretty much everything else. If it bugs me enough, I'll take it to a luthier for height adjustment, bone nut & saddle & a fresh set of normal tension strings. Another keeper! 🥰😁👍 ... show more

    • Pleasantly surprised
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
I got this as a gift for my niece who has decided she wants to play like Xuefei Yang. I hope she can but, of course, I had to try it out first. I must say it's a much nicer guitar than I'd hoped for. It has a proper 2" nut, a nice low action, and no tuning issues. The tone is surprisingly full for a guitar in this price range. I wasn't too sure about the matte finish, but I like that also. It generally presents a nice appearance and appears well made. (I did think the factory strings were totally dead, no surprise there, so I replaced them with some D'Addario Dynacores and that made a big difference.) The bottom line is that I'd surely recommend this guitar for the student or for the casual around-the-house player. Good value for the price. All individual guitars are different, but I'm very pleased with the one I got. Here's hoping my niece will like it also. Xuefei Yang could use some competition. PS Neither Yamaha, D'Addario, nor Xuefei Yang has compensated me for this review. I wish they would, and I wish they'd contact me soon. I wouldn't mind getting a new guitar for myself. Guitarists never have enough stuff. ... show more

    • This is a great guitar for your money!!!
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
Review Image by Aleksandr Tcvetkov
This is a great guitar for your money. I bought it for my son for 9 years. The guitar is the optimal size and very light in weight. The sound is very chic, the cedar masive resonates perfectly and the sound is rich. I gave it to two professional guitarists for a test, they were impressed by this guitar and its sound. The build quality is at the highest level, the guitar is matte and pleasant to the touch. The strings are of medium quality and do not hold frets for a long time, it is better to check the tuning with a toner before playing. But the strings can be replaced over time, they are enough for studying. I recommend this guitar, you will not regret buying it, it falls in love with itself from the first contact with it. ... show more

    • Great Choice
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
Great guitar. Love it so much. Had a hole in the box from seemingly blunt force trauma but luckily no guitar damage! Something largely hand built like this you would expect some reasonable variances and you hope to get that perfect one...or at least not a defective one! Just a couple little flaws on mine but not bad enough to return and overall I really appreciate this work of art. Nice wood, design and craftsmanship. I wish I could thank the builder personally. This is my first classical guitar. I've owned a 6 and a 12 string acoustic guitar for many years but haven't played much the last few years. Hit a plateau and got bored. Then every time I'd pick it up again it was short lived since my fingers weren't used to the steel string abuse! I figured this would be easier on my fingers to get back into it. Also I've been really enjoying listening to finger picking style acoustic music lately. Some incredible stuff out there in this genre. This guitar has caused me to love playing again. It has opened up my creativity and had really given me some calm and peaceful joy. I'm learning more, having more fun and improving faster thanks to this beauty. And it is a beauty. Looks good, smells good and sound good. I love that it is natural with no thick urethane type clear coat. My Ibanez 6 string acoustic has a thick clear coat on top of the wood and while it is shiny and gives more durability I hate the skin sticking feel of it! I actually like the wood with minimal treatment like this Yamaha instead of that sticky clear coat. As you can tell I'm very impressed with this guitar and glad I followed my impulse to buy it. Thanks Yamaha. ... show more

    • Always excellent Yamaha quality, but not the amount of finish that I expected
Style: Solid Cedar Top Set: Acoustic
Well put together for the materials used. I'd expected inlaid design around the sounding hole, not a glued on, printed picture of an inlaid design. The rosewood fretboard is nice wood, just not as detailed a finish as I'd expected. The sound of the instrument was just acceptable, nothing more. For the same cost, a few years ago I remember a much fuller, more brilliant sound from a Yamaha classical guitar. I returned the guitar in its original boxes and packing materials, for a full refund. I am always very satisfied with Amazons customer service! ... show more
