Overview
Not a compact CS model, the C40II is a full-size beginner classical with a spruce top and meranti back and sides. A nato neck carries the rosewood fingerboard, and the strings are nylon.
A full-size body is the reason to choose this over the smaller CS line, and Yamaha frames the C series as a beginner-focused range. The warranty applies only to authorized-retailer purchases in the fifty states. Included accessories are not described.
Who it's for
New classical students who want a full-size nylon-string guitar from an established maker. Smaller players should consider the compact line, and steel-string players need a different guitar.
Pros and cons
- Rosewood fingerboard and bridge
- No accessories included
- Warranty limited to authorized retailers
Performance notes
The spruce top is the sound-producing surface, and the meranti back and sides reflect it. Nylon strings give the soft classical voice, and a fixed bridge anchors them. A full-size body gives standard classical scale and spacing.
