Punches Well Above Its Weight

My Yamaha CPX5 has been with me for over 20 years, and it's still in excellent shape, sounding as amazing as ever. As my first guitar, it's always held a special place for me. The neck is smooth and comfortable to play, and the electronics are reliable and well-designed. For a mid-tier guitar, it punches well above its weight—offering great sound and durability that has lasted through the years.

From Gear Setup
O

good duitar

it works best when plugged in. Otherwise, sounds..well, it sounds ok, but the bass is dull and with no sustain at all. Probably fine for strumming but I use it for fingerpicking. Once plugged in, it transforms into real instrument. Mine needed some action adjustement in order to get string lowered
