For a perfect introduction to guitar playing. The Yamaha C 40 Classical Guitar
Laminated materials for robust construction
Reduced to the essentials
For the body construction, the manufacturer uses a laminated spruce top, which due to its thin construction and finish produces powerful treble frequencies that harmonize perfectly with the warm bass frequencies of the body made of Locally-Sourced Tonewood. A subtle blackbinding borders the top and body, creating a subtle transition between the materials used.
An intricate soundhole rosette adorns the toned spruce top, adding a very traditional touch to the otherwise plain instrument and harmonizing perfectly with the dark rosewood bridge.
Smooth-running machine heads for precise tuning
Focus on function and quality
The heart of the Yamaha C 40 NT II is the flat neck made of Locally-Sourced-Tonewood, which guarantees comfortable playability in all 18 frets, especially for beginners, and is very obliging to grip in all positions. A nut width of 52 mm provides sufficient space on the entire rosewood fingerboard so that even extensive fingerings are easy to manage. Clean intonation over the entire scale length of 650 mm is ensured by a bridge inlay and nut made of urea, whose fine workmanship fully speaks for the instrument's high-quality nature.
Machine heads and stringing
Another quality feature is the chrome-plated Yamaha RM-1252X tuners, which guarantee precise tuning of the 6 nylon strings and perfectly round off the instrument in its application-oriented manner with their robust construction. Medium gauge strings are factory-wound for additional ease of fingering.

Fantastic guitar, specially considering the price. Im not a beginner, but Im also not a professional. Im a casual guitarrist, who enjoys playing, from time to time, guitar in the privacy of my home, for myself, for my familiy and close friends. If this is your case, you will not get a better deal!

Guitar is OK for a beginner. Theres only one inlay dot at the 7th fret a beginner would want more. Apart from that a good quitar, built with a good quality. Sound is good and much better than the cheap acoustic guitars. Definitely worth the price.
This is perfect for beginner level. I just started to play and the sound quality is quite good. I am satisfied with the price and performance of this product.
