Yamaha GC42S classical guitar natural

General

The Yamaha GC42S is a classical guitar with a clear, rich sound and powerful resonance. This model is perfectly suited for advanced guitarists and ambitious beginners, and with an entirely solid wood body it produces a full, strong sound that you could never expect from a laminated body. This really is a guitar to lust after, and with the famous Yamaha quality/price ratio you can count on getting your money's worth.

GC42S: American spruce and Madagascar rosewood

The wood used for the top of a guitar is the most important factor in deciding the overall sound of the instrument, which is why the top of the Yamaha GC-42S is made of beautiful light yellow American spruce for a balanced, clear sound. The lovely brown Madagascar rosewood used for the sides and back delivers a healthy dose of sparkling highs and deeps lows, and you can keep it all safe and sound with the included soft case.

Bone saddle and nut

The saddle and nut are responsible for spreading the strings out over the guitar and keeping them in place. Typically these parts are made of synthetic material, but the saddle and nut of the GC-42-S are made of real bone, ensuring that the strings won't dig into the hard material and become stuck or muted so your sound stays clear. The ebony fretboard that's found on all GC models also adds to the sleekness and clarity of this exquisite acoustic guitar.
