How about Yamaha C45 MA? $120-140? C45 better than C40?

I don't know if this is considered a 'budget' guitar, but my favorite nylon is my Ibanez AEG10NE. I have it strung with Bella fluorocarbon strings and it sounds like heaven with strings. I picked it out over several other much more expensive guitars because of the sound and the fact that it plays like hot butter. It has the closer Flamenco/Fusion string spacing, perfect for my fingerstyle Easy Listening, Pop and Jazz stuff. It even works on Willie Nelson's material. Just my opinion...

I m a beginner and m getting the alhambra 2c..... but also thinking about cordoba c5...... which one is better can you suggest me between both of these....?

Played steel strings and electrics for many years but just bought the C40 for my first clasical and I'm really enjoying it. It's inspiring new styles and sounds that are a nice change from what I'm used to. Wish I would've bought one sooner.

I appreciate this suggestion. I'm ordering one today!!!

I’m interested in this in black, and two other from Cort, thanks for your advices! 😊

It's a great guitar if you're starting out. I have one that my dad bought for me last Dec 2009. I'm using it to this day to learn some classical pieces and it sounds great.

I am glad yours has held up so well, they are really good quality guitars! Thanks for watching and commenting!

The C-40 has my vote for the best budget nylon, although I put Bella Red strings on mine and play a lot of Pop and Easy Listening on it. It is a fantastic nylon even if it were 4 times the price. I'm a pro guitarist and I play my C-40 onstage all the time.

I agree, it has great tone at a great price! Thank you for watching and commenting!

what strings do you recomend, I prefer more of a flamenco sound but with out the flamenco price hence be buying the c40

Ika beginner and I just want to buy new guitar in classical guitar and for long lasting so, Yamaha C40 or Washburn C40 or Ibanez classicla guitars? your choice please ?

You recommend high tension strings, is that okay for this type of budget guitar?

I didn't pick one yet, but I have a question. I want to record videos on youtube, should I get a normal classical guitar and use condenser microphone or buy the Yamaha classical with pickup (CX40)on it?

It's just beautiful👍

Is this the same thing as the gig maker on Amazon? I can’t find one called c40.

I played guitar over 50 years ago. Do you have any suggestions on how to come back up to speed on the guitar???

I been playing for 43 years. I bought this used today. It's a good guitar at any level.

I like the thinline nylon string acoustics. I know Ibanez, Breedlove, Cordoba and Yamaha make these. Built like a standard steel string acoustic, with nylon strings essentially. I'd pay anywhere from $180 to $500 at most.

The C45 was my first classical guitar

I love this video, I have the electro version of the C40 (Cx40), absolutely love it. However I have another nylon string guitar which is a very cheap one "Classic Special Edition" I've seen that they go for about 50$ used. That guitar has an amazing sound, I love the clarity and the sweetness of it, just with some daddario pro arte or la bella strings I think it would be worth having.

can i use it as a left handed player?

i was doing some research about this guitar just now..thank u bro! btw does this guitar support standard tuning?

Yes, and it also works great with alternate tunings as well, such as Drop D and DADGAD.

You should do a review on the Yamaha FG 800 for students who want a acoustic steel string guitar. I have one and it's really a nice guitar

yamaha c40 vs c330a ?

It's an advantage to have an advanced factory like Yamaha to be able to produce high quality but cheap guitars. You can see in Indonesia alone, the number of people who can play classical guitar well are staggering. Just sixty years ago, in Indonesia, there was hardly anyone who knew what classical guitar was. But now, it is the producer of the well-known C40.

Yes. I agree. I definitely recommend this guitar. This C40/2 is the one with Meranti back and side, instead of mahogany. This is an amazing guitar; every note is very clear and ringing. It is not loud, but good intonation and sustain throughout. It is easy to tune. A good tone production for a laminated top. I have had this guitar for almost 2 years now and the neck is still very straight as when it was new. I think the nato wood is a lot better than Spanish cedar. I had a Spanish guitar which costed me over $2k, with unreinforced cedar neck, it became warped in just 8 months.

Is there no fretbuzz in that yamaha c40?

Can I use steel string.

@JoelBrothers

3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely not! There is no truss rod and the neck is designed to use Normal Tension nylon strings. The higher tension of steel strings will destroy the neck and ruin the guitar. Besides, why would you want to? If you want a travel-size steel string, Yamaha makes the FG Jr 3/4 sized guitar that sounds every bit as good as the $500.00+ Martin LX Series. They run less than $200.00. And if you want the ultimate travel steel string, the Yamaha APX T-2 is as good as it gets. It even has built-in electronics and plugged in, it sounds like a full-sized APX, the #1 selling acoustic in the world. They run less than $200.00, with a gig bag, at Guitar Center.

I own one bought off Amazon. A much better guitar than my Pavan I paid several hundred dollars more for.

What about cort ac100 ??
