Many schools are discovering the powerful attraction that a guitar class can add to a well-rounded school music program. Yamaha offers a wide range of steel and nylon string acoustic guitars, as well as electric guitars and basses, amplifiers and a full array of accessories.

A classroom acoustic guitar needs to withstand the rigors of daily use while still being able to project a full, round sound in the performance environment. Yamaha uses only the finest tone woods for our guitars – fully seasoned spruce, rosewood, mahogany and ebony. The resulting fine instruments are then professionally set up and intonated, ensuring year after year of great sounding music.

A new line of sized classical nylon string guitars, the CGS Series, are perfectly proportioned instruments designed with the beginning classroom student in mind. They are available in 1/2-, 3/4-, and full-size scale lengths at amazingly affordable prices.

Yamaha electric guitars and basses are known the world over as great sounding, solidly built instruments. Some of today’s best jazz, rock and pop artists are Yamaha Guitar endorsees. Yamaha makes affordable electric guitars and basses that are easy to play, look great and feature top quality woods and electronics. In addition, we offer small, versatile combo amplifiers perfectly suited for both classroom and practice.
