Yamaha CG162S

This is an intermediate model with ovankol applied to side / back. Its unique attractiveness comes from the series design concept and beautiful figure of ovankol.

The new CG series features a new bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance. These guitars also feature a bridge plate that efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.

Spruce: Clear fundamental tone. Massive tone with great variation according to touch. Tone improves as the wood matures.

Necks utilize a strong 3-ply laminate design that resists warping and twisting. This design improves neck strength, offers greater stability against shape changes over time, and allows lower string height. In addition to providing greater neck stability, the laminated design also makes effective use of resources.

The matte finish on the back of the neck allows the left hand to move smoothly while also providing a secure grip. The finish is applied with a thin coat that contributes to improved resonance. The same matte finish is applied to the bridge for improved resonance.
