Yamaha C-300 Vintage Classical Guitar – MIJ Nippon Gakki – Solid Spruce Top w/ Case
The Yamaha C-300 is a well-regarded Japanese-made classical guitar from Yamaha’s respected Nippon Gakki era, known for consistent build quality, excellent materials, and long-term stability.
This model features a solid spruce top paired with laminated rosewood back and sides, producing a warm, balanced tone with good clarity and projection. Yamaha’s C-series classicals from this period are especially appreciated for their reliability and comfortable playability, making them excellent instruments for students, hobbyists, and serious players alike.
The guitar has a traditional classical neck profile, smooth ebony fingerboard, and refined appointments that reflect Yamaha’s higher standards during this era.
🔧 Condition Notes (Please Read)
- There is a small crack near the bridge.
- The crack is stable with no movement or flex, and the bridge is secure.
- It is unclear whether the crack is strictly in the finish or extends into the wood; the guitar is priced accordingly.
- Light cosmetic wear throughout consistent with age.
- The guitar plays well and holds tuning properly.
This is a player-grade vintage classical, not a collector-mint example.
