Yamaha Gigmaker C40 Classical Guitar Pack

The Yamaha Gigmaker C40 Classical Guitar Pack is the starter bundle we hand to school students and adult beginners who want a proper nylon-string guitar rather than a toy. At its heart is the C40, a full-size classical in a natural gloss finish, paired with a digital clip-on tuner so the first thing you learn is how to play in tune.

Full-size C40 with a spruce top

The C40 is a full-size classical guitar strung with nylon, which is softer under the fingers than steel and kinder on a beginner's hands. Its spruce top gives the guitar a clear, even response across the strings, and the natural gloss finish keeps it looking the part at a school recital. This is the model teachers ask for by name, and it is the classical we recommend for school music programs.

Clip-on tuner in the box

The pack bundles the C40 with a digital clip-on tuner. Clip it to the headstock, pluck a string and it reads the pitch from the vibration, so it works in a noisy classroom or a house full of siblings. Tuning becomes a ten-second habit rather than a guessing game, and a guitar that stays in tune is one a beginner keeps picking up.

Set up and ready

A classical guitar with a comfortable action makes chords and scales far easier for new hands. Set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you, so the strings sit right and the guitar plays cleanly from the first lesson.
