In 2006, driven by the desire to “create a guitar that would leave his own mark,” he finally launched a brand bearing his own name.\u003cbr\u003eFree from all constraints, he crafts guitars exactly as he envisions, delivering the ultimate instrument to countless players.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e For the AR-GC featured here, German spruce was selected for the body, and Camatilo—a wood whose availability has drastically declined—was used generously.\u003cbr\u003eThe top features a fine, dense grain with a three-dimensional quality, producing a sound that is both soft and resonant.\u003cbr\u003eCamatiro is a rare wood that catches the eye with its unique purplish hue and beautiful striped pattern, yet it combines the rich low end of rosewood with a responsive, lively tone—truly beautiful in both appearance and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The moment you play it, you’ll instantly hear the difference.\u003cbr\u003eIn particular, the low string action—optimized for fingerstyle playing—allows the overtones in the high register to rise beautifully, highlighting the transparency and depth of the sustain.\u003cbr\u003eEven in complex arrangements where melody and accompaniment intertwine, the contours of each note are preserved, creating a sense of separation akin to a piano.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, fretting in the high positions is extremely easy, and the guitar naturally adapts to playing fast phrases and harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The classic auditorium shape with a rounded cutaway fits the body well and is designed to reduce fatigue even during long performances.\u003cbr\u003eThe vibrational energy is transmitted throughout the entire instrument without loss, faithfully reflecting the player’s nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Furthermore, the exterior—stripped of unnecessary ornamentation to pursue essential beauty—is not to be overlooked.\u003cbr\u003eMore than just “premium wood,” the fusion of carefully selected materials and meticulous craftsmanship is truly a design dedicated to sound.\u003cbr\u003eAs time passes, the wood breathes, adapts to your sound, and grows with you.\u003cbr\u003eThat is a Yokoyama guitar. \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e[Specifications\/Included Case]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTOP: Solid German Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBACK\/SIDES: Solid Camatillo\u003cbr\u003eNECK: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD\/BRIDGE: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eSCALE: 648mm\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 44mm\u003cbr\u003eCASE: Original Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e[Repair\/Modification History \/ Replaced Parts \/ Cosmetic Condition, etc.]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Please note that this is a used\/vintage item, and the information provided is based on our inspection.\u003cbr\u003ePlease be aware of this in advance.\u003cbr\u003e- An acoustic guitar specialist has thoroughly inspected the neck and woodwork, and no repairs are necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e[Playing Condition]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- String action at the 12th fret: 1.6mm on the 6th string side, 1.5mm on the 1st string side\u003cbr\u003e- Saddle height: approx. 2mm–1mm\u003cbr\u003e- Upon request, we can also ship the guitar with standard string action, such as 2.5mm–2.0mm.\u003cbr\u003e- The instrument plays well with no muffled tones or buzzing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/pages\/guide\"\u003e[6-Month Warranty]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e[Mail-Order Assurance Service]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Since we cannot offer you the opportunity to try out the instrument before purchasing, we provide a 6-day trial period after delivery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Please take your time to try the product at home, and if you are not satisfied, we will issue a full refund.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*You are responsible for round-trip shipping costs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Yokoyama Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49981774168301,"sku":"23464","price":363000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/1ar-gc-german-sprucecamatillo-685038.jpg?v=1755492911","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/yokoyama-guitars-2020s-ar-gc-german-spruce-camatillo","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
