Yamaha Japan Premium GC22C Handcrafted Cedar Classical Guitar w/ Reinforced Gig Bag

Yamaha GC Series

Developed with knowledge that can only be gained through decades of experience, the GC Series represents Yamaha’s handcrafted line of classical guitars. Close attention to detail and careful selection of the finest wood materials ensures that Yamaha instruments are of the highest quality. Whether you choose the warm, sweet tone of cedar or the clear, rich resonance of spruce, discerning players will always experience outstanding tone and clarity.

The Yamaha GC22C

This nylon-string classical guitar stands out in its class with a solid rosewood back and sides, solid American cedar top and balanced harmony from bass to treble for a timeless and unmatched level of quality and sound.

FEATURES

• Top Materials
  All models in the GC Series feature solid tops and backs that provide the characteristically rich tone.
• Wood Selections
  Wood is “alive” and must be prepared carefully over a long period of time in order to be suitable for use in an acoustic guitar. Even then, no two pieces of wood are the same. It takes a tremendous amount of skill and experience to be able to select the right woods and combinations of woods for an instrument that will bear the Yamaha name.
• Neck Shape
  The neck on a GC Series guitar is hand-shaven by a luthier who feels the curvature of the neck, which ensures a perfect fit for smooth finger movement and solid stability.
• Bracing Pattern
  The bracing pattern, an essential element that defines the guitars tonal character and response, was devised by Antonio de Torres in the 1880s. Over the years, Yamaha has improved upon its shape and design, which produces greater volume and response, a bright and clear high end and rich bass.
• Saddle Fit & Bridge
  The saddle captures string vibration transferring it through the bridge and on to the top. The relationship of these three components — saddle, bridge and top — is extremely important on a guitar. Using their advanced skills, Yamaha craftsmen fit the saddle into a groove in the bridge with a high level of surface-to-surface contact. The bridge is also precisely positioned and glued on top with unparalleled accuracy.
