Overview

A spruce top over a rosewood back anchors the Yamaha CG192S, the flagship of the CG Series nylon-string line. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fretboard, and the strings are nylon.

Yamaha says the CG series was developed for top sound quality, performance and playability, and this model is the top of that range. The top wood is the open question, with the title and specs saying spruce and the text saying cedar. No accessories are included.

Who it's for

Nylon-string players who want a well-appointed classical with an ebony fretboard. Steel-string guitarists, and shoppers who need a case, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Manufacturer warranty listed
Cons
  • Top wood conflict between spruce and cedar
  • No accessories included

Performance notes

The top wood drives the nylon strings' volume and response, while the rosewood back reflects the sound. The mahogany neck and ebony fretboard shape the feel. The adjustable bridge lets the setup be tuned.
