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.
