Madagascar rose is used for the side and back plates, and the sound bar placement has been revised to suit the characteristics of each of the spruce top ``GC42S'' and cedar top ``GC42C''.
The thick, smooth, and moist sound allows for highly expressive performances.
In addition to beautiful tone, we have made various improvements to obtain rich volume and attack.
We researched the optimal thickness of the top plate, and now you can get loud volume and bright sound with a good start.
The sound rod arrangement has also been newly designed to ensure a well-balanced sound from bass to treble.
Additionally, by making the coating on the lower bridge and back of the neck about half as thin as before, it transmits rich vibrational energy throughout the guitar, improving playability.
Furthermore, by increasing the processing precision of the lower bridge pillow and grooves, vibration transmission loss is reduced and the rise of the sound is improved.
All of these products are the result of accumulated research unique to YAMAHA, as well as skill transfers and improvements from skilled craftsmen.
