Yamaha CGX102 Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Yamaha CGX102 is a full-size nylon-string acoustic-electric classical guitar designed to combine the traditional sound of a classical instrument with the convenience of built-in amplification. Featuring a spruce top and a Yamaha CG body shape, it produces a warm, balanced tone with clear note definition and natural resonance. Its comfortable construction and traditional classical design make it suitable for beginners, students and players interested in classical, fingerstyle and general acoustic music.

Based on the acoustic design of the Yamaha CG102, the CGX102 adds Yamaha's onboard pickup and preamp system for amplified performance. Its 650 mm (25 9/16-inch) scale length and 52 mm nut width provide the traditional spacing expected from a full-size classical guitar. The nylon strings offer a softer playing feel, while the rosewood fingerboard supports comfortable fingerstyle playing. The Yamaha SYSTEM68 electronics with ART 1-way pickup are designed to reproduce the guitar's natural acoustic tone when connected to an external sound system.

The guitar features a spruce top, Nato back and sides, and a locally sourced tonewood neck. Its rosewood fingerboard and bridge contribute to a traditional classical appearance, complemented by chrome tuning machines and decorative soundhole inlay. The SYSTEM68 preamp provides volume and tone controls, an integrated tuner and a LINE OUT connection for connecting to an amplifier or PA system. Its glossy Natural finish gives the instrument a clean, classic look, while the matte neck finish provides a contrasting feel.
