  • Great affordable electric acoustic classical guitar.
Style: Spruce Top Set: Acoustic-Electric
TLDR; Wonderful all around affordable classical guitar. Pickup works great. I teach music to young children (6 and under) and needed an affordable instrument I could use with them (don't want to risk my expensive Martin 000-15M). This is the third guitar I purchased for this purpose. I returned the other two (yamaha c40 and cordoba c5). I liked the c40, but it had some build quality problems (lots of fret buzz, bridge buzz). This plays very like the c40 but it built much better as far as I can tell (no buzz etc). The tuner and electronics are great. Very easy to use and effective. Despite the included pickup etc. this is still a very light guitar. Very comfortable to play. Sounds great. This also has a guitar strap post on the bottom of the guitar (unlike the c40 which lacked it). I liked this much much better than the cordoba, which had great reviews but sucked in person. My only complaints are the decorative tuners which look a bit silly, and the fact that you cannot adjust the action on this guitar (no adjustable truss rod etc.). The action is great, but still it would be nice to have that option. At $300 though, I cannot complain. This is a quality instrument that is really fun to play. ... 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

  • "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

  • Great little guitar!
Style: Spruce Top Set: Acoustic-Electric
Very good little guitar! If you are looking into buying a small guitar for traveling or to your kids, look no further. It is a perfect kids guitar as it is easy to tune, sounds good and has smaller spaced frets. For 100 bucks it is good value as the craftmanship is amazing! Compared to toy guitars or other Chinese produced crap which is not playable, this guitar could be played by an adult, altough a bit unusual due to the small frets and higher tuning. As a bonus it is NOT made in China! ... show more
