The natural gloss Yamaha CG is a TransAcoustic series nylon-string acoustic/electric classical guitar offering traditional acoustic tones and internally amplified effects for guitarists at home, on stage, or in the studio. Its System 70 TransAcoustic electronics allow use of built-in reverb and chorus without external amplification by employing the guitar's resonance to project the effects. An integrated SRT piezo pickup feeds the 1/4" output for easy hookup to an amplifier or audio interface/mixer.
The CG's back and sides are constructed from ovangkol, while the top is solid Engelmann spruce. The nato neck is capped with a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard and side dot markers. Controls mounted on the side of the CG provided straightforward access to the line output volume and TransAcoustic settings.
