The CG Series was created using the experience and technology gained from decades of handcrafting fine, classical guitars. A wide variety of models makes it easy to find a guitar that fits your sound and design requirements. The CG Series also offers improved volume, tone quality and response, superior playability with its easy-to-hold neck design, comfortable string height and an elegant, simple design.
Thinner Bridge Plate
CG Series guitars feature a bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance. The bridge plate efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.
Top Material
All models in the CG Series lineup are available with either a spruce or cedar top. You can choose the top according to your preferences for tone and texture.
Spruce: Clear, massive tone that improves as the wood matures with great variation according to touch.
Cedar: Bright, warm, mature tone that changes very little over time with excellent response and relatively thick treble.
3-Ply Laminate Neck
The three-ply laminate neck design improves neck strength while remaining resistant against warping and twisting. This allows for lower string action and offers greater stability against shape changes over time.
The matte finish on the back of the neck is applied with a thick coat, allowing the left hand to move smoothly while also providing a secure grip. The finish is also applied to the bridge for improved resonance.
Saddle Fit
Years of experience and original technologies have brought improvements to our saddle and saddle slot design. Crafting these components with great precision provides a highly accurate fit that improves attack and sustain while reducing string vibration loss transferring rich resonance to the body.
