1971 Yamaha GC-5 BRZ
The Yamaha GC-5 is a professional-grade concert quality classical that was hand-built in Japan by Yamaha's finest luthiers. The guitar features an exquisite back and side set of Brazilian rosewood, and a master-grade western red cedar top.
It is a wonderfully voiced guitar with excellent volume and projection, along with the subtlety that cedar provides. Treble notes are balanced evenly up the fingerboard and maintain good volume beyond the 12th fret, and basses are focused, clear, and articulate.
The guitar is in very fine condition and has been set-up here at Folkway. There are a repaired cracks on either side of the fingerboard extension, and an older Barcus Berry pickup installed in the bridge. The neck angle is good, and the set-up and frets are player-ready. 660mm scale, 52mm nutwidth.
With hardshell case.
