Just cleaned, restrung, and set up with comfortable, playable action. This Japanese-made Yamaha G-228 is a well-built classical guitar from Yamaha's respected G-series and remains an excellent choice for students, hobbyists, or anyone looking for a quality vintage nylon-string guitar.

The guitar is in very good overall condition for its age, showing only normal cosmetic wear from use. The frets show minimal wear, the neck is straight, and the instrument plays cleanly up and down the fingerboard. The satin-finished mahogany back and sides pair nicely with the spruce top, producing the balanced and dependable tone Yamaha classicals are known for.

Includes the original hard shell case shown in the photos.
