[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 is a GC-7 made in 1965. The red-colored sound board is reminiscent of the Ramirez influence, but the tone is straightforward and simple, typical of Japanese guitars of the 1960s. The thick bass sound is quite attractive, and is rather similar to South American guitars.
There are scratches and dents commensurate with the age of the guitar, and the paint is cracked due to changes in humidity, etc., but there are no problems with use. The fingerboard has an additional 20th fret on the first string side. The saddle has been lowered by grooving each string, and the grooves are slightly noticeable because they have not been painted. The neck, frets, and other parts related to playability are in good condition.
