Found a gem of a CG111C classical guitar

Typically, I don’t write about matters concerning my students. But recently, something so extraordinary happened that I just have to write it down.

As of late, I’ve been purchasing guitars for several of my students.One of my students requested that I purchase for him a Yamaha CG111C. I’m very familiar with the Yamaha CG111 series, so I thought I knew what to expect.

Boy, was I wrong.

I went down to Music Plaza at Plaza Singapura and told the sales person to bring me several CG111 guitars. I wanted to cherry-pick the best one.

Among all the CG111 guitars I tried, I found one that was quite remarkable. It was a CG111C with noticable better projection and clarity than the rest.

The quality of the materials was also impressive. The top had tight and fine grain and both the top and the sides had plenty of silk.

I also notced that the CG111 guitars now feature lower action. It’s nice to see Yamaha making improvements to their guitars. Student-grade Yamaha guitars have constantly been criticized for their high action. Lowering the action is a step in the right direction.

The student was extremely pleased. He has experience playing accoustic guitar so he was able to appreciate the impressive sonic and build qualities of the instrument I chose for him.

When I handed him the instrument during our lesson, I sat there in disbelief. I found it incredulous that you can purchase such a good instrument for that price.

I was telling him that his CG111C had even tighter grain than the CG151C I supply to my students during lessons!

Sometimes it really helps to have have a qualified classical guitarist help with choose a good instrument.
