Yamaha GC22C Grand Concert Classical Guitar
Yamaha GC22C Grand Concert Classical Guitar
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.
Top Materials
All models in the GC Series feature solid tops and backs that provide the characteristically rich tone. Both spruce and cedar tops are available throughout the lineup letting you choose according to your taste in sound and appearance.
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 GC Series guitars are 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.
* Bracing shape and design vary for each model.
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, our 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.
