Yamaha CP-400 (Japan, Late 70s) – A Timeless Classic with Character

This Yamaha CP-400, crafted in Japan in the late 1970s, is an instrument with both soul and history. It has been carefully played and well-maintained by a Japanese amateur guitarist, preserving its excellent condition over the years.


Sound & Build:
🔹 Solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides, delivering a perfect balance of warmth and clarity.
🔹 Fan bracing enhances resonance, providing a rich, expressive tone.
🔹 Shallow neck angle, a signature of Yamaha classical guitars from that era, reduces string tension for a softer, more comfortable playing feel.


Condition:
🔸 The glossy lacquer finish is in great shape, with only minor signs of wear that add to its vintage character.
🔸 The guitar is fully ready to play with no additional setup needed.


This CP-400 is an excellent choice for those who appreciate vintage Japanese guitars and warm, nuanced sound. It is especially well-suited for fingerstyle playing, allowing for delicate musical expression.
