[Profile]
Yamaha (founded in 1887 in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka), the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments and boasting an overwhelming market share in the musical instrument manufacturing and music business alone, was also an early proponent of the classical guitar. In 1966, Yamaha established the Guitar Research Department and began research and development of handcrafted guitars in order to stimulate the classical guitar market in Japan. The following year, Yamaha invited Eduardo Ferrer, who at the time was a mentor in Granada, Spain, to provide guidance on traditional Spanish construction methods, and in 1973, invited Manuel Hernandez (Hernandez y Aguado) to provide technical guidance. The result of these intensive training programs was the Grand Concert (GC) series, which continues to this day as a high-spec series of Yamaha classical models.

[Description]
This model was released by Yamaha in 2005 with the concept of being for bossa nova. It gained popularity together with the CG FL1 (flamenco model) released at the same time. Like the FL1, it shares the same thin matte finish, soft yellow body color, light body, and ease of playability. The response is fast, with a light, dry sound, and chords rise clearly and rhythmically even when played softly. The string height is set low so that it is appropriate for bossa nova, which is mainly played with chords. The quality balance of both playability and sound is just right for this maker.
There are some play marks around the sound hole. The wood of the saddle has probably been shaved to adjust the string height. The price was 80,000 yen without tax when it was first released in 2005. Currently out of production.
