The Yamaha CGX102 is designed to serve as an affordable, yet high-quality, nylon-string acoustic/electric classical guitar. The guitar features a 25.6" scale, spruce top with meranti back and sides, a nato neck with a rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge, and a gloss finish.

The CGX102 also features the 68N contact pickup and preamp system that is designed to faithfully reproduce the sound produced by the guitar's body. Onboard electronics include a chromatic tuner, volume and tone controls.
