Expressive highs, crystal-clear harmonics, and clarity in fast passages. Few instruments can deliver all of this simultaneously.
If you find yourself thinking: "I want a guitar that responds more honestly to my fingers." "I want a guitar I can trust to deliver my sound, whether in the studio or live." Then finding this page might just be fate.
Yokoyama Guitars AR-GC── It is the crystallization of meticulous and sincere craftsmanship, born from the hands of guitar builder Tadashi Yokoyama. In 1975, Mr. Yokoyama joined Morris, gaining extensive experience in production—from finishing and handcrafting to electric guitars and banjos. In 2006, driven by the desire to "create guitars that would become his legacy," he finally launched his eponymous brand. Free from all constraints, he crafts guitars entirely as he envisions, delivering the ultimate instrument to countless players.
The AR-GC model featured here utilizes German spruce for its body, generously incorporating Kamatilo—a wood now drastically reduced in availability. The top boasts a finely grained yet three-dimensional wood pattern, delivering a sound that is both soft and resonant with a solid core. Kamatilo is a rare wood, captivating with its unique purplish hue and beautiful striped pattern. It combines the rich low end of rosewood with a responsive, fast attack, making it beautiful not only in appearance but also in sound.
Play it, and you'll instantly hear the difference. The optimized low string height setting, especially for fingerstyle, allows the high-frequency overtones to rise beautifully, emphasizing transparency and deep sustain. Even in complex arrangements where melody and accompaniment intertwine, each note retains its contour, offering piano-like separation. Furthermore, fretting in the higher positions is exceptionally easy, allowing the guitar to naturally accompany fast phrases and harmonics.
The classic Auditorium shape with a round cutaway offers excellent body fit and a fatigue-resistant structure for extended playing sessions. Vibrational energy is transmitted seamlessly throughout the entire instrument, faithfully reflecting the player's nuance.
Furthermore, its appearance, stripped of unnecessary ornamentation and pursuing essential beauty, is not to be overlooked. It is not merely "premium wood"; its form, a fusion of carefully selected timber and meticulous woodworking techniques, is truly design for sound. Over time, the wood breathes, becoming familiar with your sound and growing with you. That is a Yokoyama guitar.
