Beginners and young learners alike will appreciate the level of quality found in the C and CS series classic guitars. These quality instruments deliver outstanding cost performance with exceptional playability and superb tone. The C series are full-size instruments with a level of quality only Yamaha can deliver.

Elegant design and sonic solutions are Yamaha traditions. Yamaha continues to innovate with the Silent Series. Originally designed as ideal practice and travel instruments, the steel-string SLG100S and nylon-string SLG100N quickly became popular with touring guitarists enamored with its practical, feedback-free live applications and modern jet-age appearance.

The steel string JR1 is modeled after the FG series. Yamaha craftsmanship and the use of select woods throughout this instrument create a compact folk guitar offering authentic acoustic sound.

Like a model kit without the glue, an electric guitar isn't complete without an amplifier. So to make it as easy as possible for the beginner, Yamaha includes both-plus much more besides-in a choice of inexpensive packages.

For more than 20 years, the Yamaha BB Series basses have been the workhorse for great bass players like Nathan East, Tony Kanal, Michael Anthony, and Lee Sklar. Through the years, these players have relied on Yamaha's BB Basses to deliver that deep, warm thump that has become the hallmark Yamaha bass sound.
