Yamaha CG192C Classical Guitar - Natural

I already owned 5 different Yamaha classical guitars including a SLG200NW and a NCX700C. the CG192 is supposed to be their top of the line in the CG series. This is a very well-made guitar. The fit and finish is easily comparable to traditional classicals of other brands in the $1,000 price range. Sound is incredible, very well balanced and intonation was nearly perfect. Overall very high quality especially for the price. Many people mention the high action of the strings, classicals are supposed to have higher action than steel string acoustics. Typically the low E string should be < 4mm from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string, mine was 3.5mm. Set up almost perfectly out of the box. It comes with Yamaha S10 strings which are ok but I prefer D'addario's, so I did switch them out. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase and the quality of the instrument.

Great guitar! Action was a bit high but got it set up plays great sounds really full, nice bass!

I used to play (or try to) classical guitar about 15 years ago. My guitar then, which I gave to my niece, was an Alhambra. I decided to pick back up playing and splurged on this. I cannot say that I regret it. It's one of my happier purchases in a long while. I read a few reviews from Guitar World and other places prior to getting this, so I knew what I was purchasing. Some reviews say this doesn't have very loud bass, but I think the bass is just fine. If you feel it doesn't have enough bass, purchase higher tension bass strings and lighter treble strings to balance out things. While I'm basically a beginner again, I can say that this guitar has a pure sound and a long sustain. Read outside reviews on this guitar. Then, buy one. You won't regret it. It makes me happy to play it.

I've had Yamaha classicals before , the lower end ones like the C-40 model and the playability was much better on them. This guitar came with a very high and very tight action. so high and so tight that I had to tune it down a whole step to be able to play it comfortably. The problem is the saddle was already shaved down so low that there's no way to adjust it any lower without the strings actually resting on the wood of the bridge, it's that low. There is also no truss rod in this instrument. The sound is nice, clear and full and its a beautiful guitar but Yamaha really blew it on this one. I don't know if this is just a design defect with this particular instrument or if this is the normal with this particular model, but not being able to adjust the height of the strings at all is a deal breaker. I have a Vangoa Cedar top that I also bought on Amazon for around $160 and although I've never heard of Vangoa until buying this one, it plays much better than the Yamaha and the sound is very decent for an inexpensive instrument. Actually I like to better then the C-40 I used to have. Kind of disappointed it's such a pretty guitar and I know it could have a good sound if I could just lower the action and tension but it's not possible with this one. I will be returning it.

The CG192C is the newest replacement for the top of the line CG guitars. I have owned several Yamaha guitars including a CG180 and a CG171. This is by far the nicest of any CG guitars I have played. Yamaha has improved the neck and made the top lighter. These changes equate to improved playability and sound. Of course the guitar is beautiful and well made; something we have come to expect from Yamaha. The cedar top is very nice and looks like a high quality piece of wood. The back and sides are laminated rosewood and look very nice. I prefer the sides and back be quality laminate as they are less likely to crack and I don't think inexpensive solid woods are any better. Also new is the three piece laminated neck. With the thinner neck that should guard against warping. Overall I really like this guitar. The improvement in sound is very noticeable. This would be a nice beginner guitar. I think Yamaha made some great improvements to an already quality poduct. I would also like to point out that I bought this guitar as a "beater" instrument. I also have a Kohno and a GC-71 but the 192 gets alot of use!

Though it is not clearly state the guitar comes with a cover as the image shows, the assumption is that is shoud which l did not receive.

Nothing beats Yamaha under $1000, value for money. Typical of beginner guitars action is on higher end. I replaced with bone nut/saddle and lowered the action while I was at it. DIY, took a while to sand down a new nut, just use thick glass to keep it flat and square. Yamaha s10 strings, D string finally broke after over a full semester of playing. Now have D'addario strings. First time learning a musical instrument so it was all completely new to me from reading music to playing. I would say this is a very high end beginner guitar or lower end intermediate guitar but it feels and plays great with lower action. Neck is nice and striaght, quality is top notch in fit and finish, seems like a much more costly guitar. Sounds really good too, rings/sustains like a bell.

Great classical style guitar for the price.

初心者の私でも弾くことができいい音が出ます

木製の楽器を通販で買うのは少し抵抗がありましたが、ちゃんと届きました。初心者なので他のギターとの違いはわかりませんが、十分いい音を出しています。

配送も迅速で、商品のギターもきれいでピッチもしっかりしています。さすがYAMAHAです。ずっとスペイン製のギターを使っていましたが、日本の気候、特に湿度が合わないのか故障が頻繁に起き修理代だけで３０万円以上。そこで日本製にしました。 これから自分の好みの弦に変えて弾き込んでいこうと思います。 オススメです。 ソフト・ケースまで付属しているとは思いませんでした！

この値段でこの鳴りはさすがヤマハと感心します。気になる点があります。フレットと弦が触れる部分が、傷ついてコーティングが剥がれ落ちます。かなりのダメージを受けているようです。特に4弦がひどいです。他社のちょっと高めの弦に交換したらましにはなりました。

アコギではなくフォークギターと呼んでいたころに買ったヤマハのＦＧを愛用していたが、ナイロン弦の響きが好きになって来たので乗り換えた。クラシック器は初めてなのでネックの太さや弦の感触の違いにすぐ慣れられるだろうかと思っていたのは杞憂で、むしろ左手の疲れが少なく弾きやすい。指先が太いせいかＦＧでは不要に弦に干渉して苦労するのに、これは楽に押さえられる。柔らかな音色も耳に心地よく好みに合っていて、全体的に大いに満足。ただ、届くまでのどの段階で生じたのか塗装表面に目立つ傷がついていた。開封後は無料交換も全額返金も不可らしいので、音にさしたる問題がなければと目をつぶり、そのまま使うことにした。梱包が破損しているのでもない限りは確認するために開封するのが普通なのだからこのシステムは疑問である。クラシック器を置いてある楽器店とて無い田舎暮らしでは通販に頼ることになるのだが、販売業者をよく選ぶ必要があるようだ。楽器自体には何の不満もなく好み通りなので星五つとしたいのだけれども傷がついていることで減点。自分には安くない品であるが、赤瀬川原平氏の言う「傷が一つあるおかげで高価なライカも気兼ねなく使える」と言うのと同じ理屈で思いっきり使えるとしよう。
