He was born in 1942 in Japan and began his career at Yamaha in 1963 as an apprentice. He quickly demonstrated his talent and dedication and eventually became a master builder. Thanks to Kato's talents Yamaha Corporation was able to price their Grand Concert guitars at a similar level to the famous Masaru Kohno workshop instruments. The GC series guitars were highly valued by many classical guitar players all over the world. At some point in the 1970s, Yamaha guitars had surpassed similarly priced Kohno models in terms of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.6; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.16px;\"\u003eKato worked at Yamaha for over 40 years and retired in 2007.

These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e   .item-specifics, .item-description {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 16px;}\n  .title {font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 8px 0;}\n  .specs-grid {display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); gap: 12px 24px;}\n  .spec-pair {display: grid; grid-template-columns: 120px 1fr; gap: 8px;}\n  .spec-name {font-weight: bold; color: #111;}\n  .spec-value {color: #333;}\n  .description-text {margin-top: 8px; line-height: 1.4; color: #333;}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Guitar Brain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602559332445,"sku":"v1|137325329104|0","price":3275.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/s-l1600_503ccbfd-b51b-4aa9-b337-bc0fdf0c71df.jpg?v=1783870172"},{"product_id":"aria-a-58cwe-m-nylon-string-acoustic-guitar-cutaway-electronics-3-inch-body-1","title":"Aria A-58CWE\/M Nylon String Acoustic Guitar Cutaway with Electronics","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.6; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, 'system-ui', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.16px;\"\u003eA rare find,\u003cb\u003e Aria A-58CWE\/M\u003c\/b\u003e Nylon String Acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.6; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, 'system-ui', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.16px;\"\u003ePlays and sounds very nice, great for fast Al Di Meola like stuff.

He returned in 1971 and joined Yamaha's custom shop, working alongside Toshiro Kato and Hiroshi Harada. Initially, Hideyuki Ezaki produced a limited number of midrange Yamaha models. He was also a member of Yamaha's design group, contributing to various innovations that improved the tonal properties of Yamaha guitars. From 1975 to 1982, Hideyuki specialized in crafting Yamaha's top of the line model, GC30B. After Toshihiro Kato's departure in the late 1980s, Hideyuki became the head of Yamaha's Custom Shop until his retirement in 2007. Even after retiring, he continued his craft in his own workshop. His guitars range in price, with the least expensive models starting at 600,000 yen, approximately $6,000 in the US market.

These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takamine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44652821839965,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/230a1a80-2dc0-49bc-975d-f70ef025d746.jpg?v=1784045376"},{"product_id":"yamaha-gc-5s-concert-classical-guitar-1977-solid-cedar-signed-by-harada-excellent","title":"Yamaha GC-5S Concert Classical Guitar Solid Cedar Signed by Harada 1977","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Yamaha GC-5S Concert Classical Guitar 1977 \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt and signed by Shuhiro Harada - one of the most talented Yamaha Custom Shop luthiers in the 70s. \u003cbr\u003eThe condition of this guitar is unbelievable considering it's almost 50 years old. \u003cbr\u003eIt's in showroom condition with just a few minor signs of use. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone wood that was used for the top of this guitar is Japanese Ezo Spruce. \u003cbr\u003eEzo spruce grows in the high mountains of Hokkaido island. \u003cbr\u003eHarvesting of this type of spruce has been banned by the Japanese government. \u003cbr\u003eThere are some small old stocks still available in Japan \u003cbr\u003ebut to commission a guitar with Ezo spruce top nowadays would cost thousands. \u003cbr\u003eThe back is from a two piece book-matched Indian rosewood with beautiful, even grain. \u003cbr\u003eIn that period of time, the GC models were inspired by Spanish guitar design and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has been kept in a room with humidity set to 50% at 25 degrees (75F). \u003cbr\u003eThe action is medium to low, comfortable to play. \u003cbr\u003eIt has a rich, well balanced and resonant tone with beautiful tonal features.
