A glossy variant in the spirit of the CG series
The Yamaha CG142C is the gloss varnish finished version inspired by the CG122MS/MC model. It stands out with its solid cedar top, a choice appreciated by classical guitarists for its immediate musicality, while maintaining an affordable and coherent design for daily use.
For which guitarist and styles?
This classical guitar is particularly aimed at demanding beginners and intermediate players seeking a comfortable and expressive instrument. It suits the classical repertoire very well, as well as arpeggios, fingerstyle playing, and pieces where dynamics and roundness of tone are essential.
The sound
The solid cedar top provides a generally warm tonal color, with a soft attack and a nice presence in the midrange, highlighting melodies and chords played in fingerstyle.

Ordered on Friday before noon in Chronopost premium 24 hours and received the next day Saturday 10:30am. Intact and super padded package, nickel guitar and in line with my expectations, and at an unbeatable price. This guitar is a replacement for my Yamaha C40 tamed for over a year, and the sound of this CG142C and its finish are incomparable. Thanks in passing to Stéphane for quickly taking into account my order. This is my first order on Woodbrass and certainly not the last.
