Solid spruce top for great sound
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of a nylon-string guitar. For the CG172SF, Yamaha chose a solid spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a rich sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone of your Yamaha CG172SF will age gracefully with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.
Full-width nut for true classical spacing
The Yamaha CG172SF offers a 2.0625" nut width that allows you to play using true classical and flamenco techniques. Unlike many guitars in this price range, the CG172SF gives you full spacing for executing proper rest strokes and free strokes. This larger width also makes complex fingerings easier on the fretboard.
