            If you're on a tight budget, go for Yamaha C40. If you want a premium guitar and have the budget for it, go for Yamaha C80. Yamaha C80 uses Nato wood for the back and sides which gives it a much better sound. Although the C40 and C70 are very similar, certain players feel that the C70 sounds significantly better.
