GC SERIES.
The GC Series represents Yamaha's new handcrafted line of classic nylon
string acoustic guitars. Our craftsmen's close attention to detail
guarantees the best quality. Whether you choose the warm sweet tone of
Cedar (GC31C) or the clear rich resonance of Spruce (GC31), either top
will provide you with outstanding quality.BRACING.
Next to the woods themselves, the bracing of the guitar top is the most
critical factor affecting the instrument's final sound. Although the
basic design is still very close to the original pattern proposed by
Torres in the 1880's, refinements and improvements have been made to
ensure optimum tone and volume with modern strings and playing
techniques.BRIDGE & SADDLE.
The thickness of the third string in a nylon set tends to limit its
movement at the bridge and nut causing it to respond as if it were
shorter than the other strings. Yamaha eliminates this common intonation
problem with a special offset step cut into the saddle at the third
string.FINISH.
A guitar's finish has a very real effect on its sound. A fine guitar,
with a properly applied finish, will continue to sound better as time
goes on.- Top: Solid Cedar
