Description

Yamaha's C40 classical guitar provides an unparalleled combination of tone, playability and affordability. Yamaha's master luthiers have meticulously crafted the C40 with a solid spruce top and meranti back and sides, producing a rich, balanced tone sought after by musicians at any skill level.

Precise Tuning and Stable Intonation

The C40's premium tuning machines provide accurate tuning and rock-solid intonation, allowing musicians to focus on their performance instead of fussing with the tuning. The C40 stays in tune through an entire practice session or performance.

A Neck and Fingerboard Built for Comfort

The C40's neck and rosewood fingerboard are carefully shaped for effortless playability. The neck's comfortable profile and the fingerboard's smooth surface allow nimble playing, whether performing complex classical pieces or simple beginner chords.

High-Quality Materials for a Lifetime of Enjoyment

The C40 is built to provide a lifetime of enjoyment and music making. Its solid spruce top and meranti back and sides are beautifully crafted using techniques honed over many generations of guitar making.

    Does this guitar have strap buttons or pins to attach a guitar strap?

    The Yamaha C40 Classical Guitar does not come with strap buttons installed. Like most classical guitars, it’s designed primarily for seated playing, and traditionally they don’t include strap buttons.

    Does this have an adjustable truss rod ?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    No, the Yamaha C40 Classical Guitar does not have a truss rod. Most classical guitars, including the Yamaha C40, have a fixed neck without an adjustable truss rod because nylon strings exert much less tension than steel strings. The neck is typically reinforced using an internal wooden or composite support instead of a metal truss rod.

    Cam someone who has this guitar measure the widest part of the body? I'm waiting on 25 of these for my class and want to get a rack on the wall completed. So I want to leave enough space on each side when they are hanging.
