classical/ flamenco guitar?

guitar yamaha c80 image

Nick G

I have a yamaha c80 guitar and i was wondering since its a classical guitar, would it sound good if i put flamenco guitar strings on it and played that. Or is it just for classical music?

Answer
Everyones ears are tuned just a bit different when it comes to preferences. What might sound good to one might not sound good to another. However, this is YOUR guitar. It only matters what sounds good to you, and strings can be relatively inexpensive. Therefore, I would advise you to go ahead and try it. You may start a new trend, or you may waste 30 dollars.

guitar sounding weird after replacing strings?

guitar yamaha c80 image

Errfaz

Ive had a classical guitar for 3 weeks now and a few days ago my A string broke so I sent it to the shop and they replaced it with a new A string. However when I got home and tried playing,it sounded nothing like before. I assumed the shop tuned it and I even double checked with my auto electronic tuner. Everything was fine except that the auto tuner kept identifying the new A string as if it was a G. Please help cuz my guitar sounds really off.

P.S. its a Yamaha C80
And they did put the right string cuz I had to buy a whole new set of strings just to replace that one string and the only one that was used from the pack was the A string
Strange enough the auto tuner picks up the new A string as a perfectly tuned G string. this is weird

Answer
The string is tuned a full step flat.

Tune it up a full step.

--------------------
Edited to add:

Tune it up so it's sharp for a G
Keep tuning it up and it will be flat for G#/Ab
Keep tuning it up and it will perfect for G#/Ab
Keep tuning it up and it will sharp for G#/Ab
Keep tuning it up and it will flat for A
Keep tuning it up and it will perfect for A

I got a problem with a newly bought guitar, plz cum and help me?

Sean Phill

i just bought it and when i tune the guitar it sounds alright, but the next day the guitar becomes out of tune...i swear i didnt go adjust the strings after i tuned it...

i tried it again for a second day and the same thing happens it became horribly out of tune...why is this so?? the guitar in question is a yamaha c80...

Answer
Sounds like it might just be the strings stretching to me. They need a little time to get used to being taught, and they'll be easier to keep in tune. The newness has to wear off.

When I put new strings on mine, I generally load all the strings before I start tuning. I get the last string in tune, then tighten it about a half-turn, then back down to in-tune. You know, I stretch it a little. Then go on to the next string, and the next. I try to let it sit for a while, then go back to it, and try again. Usually it stays close to tuned for me.

Are you using the right gauge strings recommended for your instrument? Are you using a set of quality strings, or are they the factory strings that came on the instrument? Invest in a set of good strings and you won't regret it.

Hey, good luck!

Which guitar should I choose?

Miley H

Im going to play guitar. Ive never done it before. But I dont know which guitar should I choose. I really like Yamaha, I think they have nice guitars and Im between the F310 and the C80. I think these two have a nice price. I have not looked for other brands in detailed, so if you have any suggestion for a beginner I will really appreciate it.
Thanks :)

P.D Its an acoustic guitar..

Answer
Your other answer ( the Squier) is a solid-body electric guitar, which is not what you were asking.

Short answer - the Yamaha acoustics are a very good choice for a beginner. They're the only instrument in that range with a solid spruce top, I actually owned one when I was your age. Just make sure you're buying it from a reputable dealer (NOT online) - and most importantly that it is adjusted properly (set up) so it is as easy for you to play as possible. A poorly adjusted instrument is the #1 reasons new students quit their guitar lessons. The strings should be easy to press, and the guitar should stay in tune for you, or you will struggle to learn to play.

Which classical guitar to choose from this list or others?

guitar yamaha c80 image

Stefan S

I am trying to pick a classical guitar because I already have an electric one and I'm in need of a classical one..
Here's the list:
1.Takamine EG124 C w/ Cutaway ( electrical classical)
2. Fender CG-4CE ( electrical classical)
3. Manuel Rodriguez Model C9 Caballero ( classical)
4. Yamaha C80 (classical)
5. Ibanez G200E (classical)
So which one would you pick or what else?

Answer
i pick fender, simply because thats the standard and its usually reasonably priced. brands like ibanez and takamine can get a bit rediculous
