	Handcrafted Guitars Prompted by increasing artist requests for one-off custom models, Yamaha started making Handcrafted acoustics - classical and steel-strung - in the mid 1970s, forming dedicated teams of its top craftsmen for the purpose. The present-day Grand Concert and GC Custom classical ranges, from the company’s Music Craft and Custom workshops in Japan, owe their much-praised reputation to knowledge and techniques originally gained under the tutelage of master Spanish makers like Eduardo Ferrer and Manuel Hernandez. Steel-strung instruments like the superb LL dreadnoughts and CJ jumbos are made equally without compromise, to satisfy the demands of the most discerning players and using only the finest materials. Many of Yamaha’s Handcrafted instruments take literally months to build. But, then, as the saying goes: you can’t hurry perfection.
