Specifications Body & Bridge

The Yamaha C40 Classical Guitar is a beautifully crafted instrument that offers an exceptional playing experience for both beginners and seasoned musicians. With its traditional classical body type and top-quality materials, this guitar delivers a rich and resonant sound that is synonymous with Yamaha's renowned craftsmanship. The action on the C40 is about 4mm at the 12th fret. I find this a little high although it is around average for many classical guitars. The C40 is still playable, but a higher action makes pressing the strings down harder on the fingers. This can discourage beginners. If you’d like a guitar strap on this guitar, be prepared to do some work as well. There is no place to connect a guitar strap on either end. Body Constructed with a spruce top and meranti body, the C40 produces a warm and balanced tone that is ideal for classical and fingerstyle playing. The rosewood bridge enhances the sustain and clarity of each note, while the gloss finish and natural colour give the guitar an elegant and timeless look.A beginner wouldn’t be able to tell that the sound is weak and low, but someone with experience playing a more expensive classical guitar would.

If you have been playing guitar for a long time and have more of a professional ear on you, you will notice that this guitar sounds more muted and doesn’t project as well as some guitars. Pros

Setting the action high gives the manufacturer a greater margin for error against imperfections in the fretboard. If the action is set too low, it can cause buzzing (where the strings rattle against the frets).
