A deep instrumental musical brew of muscular Allman Brothers meets Gov’t Mule jamming with Hendrix back @ the house with an electric ladyland/astral skies cycodelic cosmic retro-70’s heavy guitar vibe.

Tomas Kalnoky (here under the stage name Toh Kay) has been the lead singer and songwriter of Streetlight Manifesto for the better part of the last decade. On his full length debut for Pentimento Music Co, he's recorded 10 classic tracks from his band's repertoire, in a simple folksy style; one finger-style acoustic guitar and one hushed voice.For about 150 nights every year, Toh Kay is on a stage at his ''day job'', sweating profusely and screaming until his voice is hoarse. Naturally, when he comes home the last thing he wants to do is plug in an electric guitar and continue the noise. Instead, an old nylon string acoustic guitar comes out of its case; songs are fingerpicked, lyrics are more whispered than sung. No overdubs, no other musicians, not even a pair of headphones are welcome in the studio when it's time to record. Just a single wooden instrument and a room full of quiet. With songs on subjects as broad as morality, mortality, heaven, hell and whatever may lie between the two, the music is written and recorded in a dark, quiet room, so it's no surprise that it's best listened to in that sort of setting.

The GC Series represents Yamaha's new handcrafted line of classic nylon string acoustic guitars. Our craftsmen's close attention to detail guarantees the best quality. Whether you choose the warm sweet tone of Cedar or the clear rich resonance of Spruce, either top will provide you with outstanding quality. Next to the woods themselves, the bracing of the guitar top is the most critical factor affecting the instrument's final sound. Although the basic design is still very close to the original pattern proposed by Torres in the 1880's, refinements and improvements have been made to ensure optimum tone and volume with modern strings and playing techniques. The thickness of the third string in a nylon set tends to limit its movement at the bridge and nut causing it to respond as if it were shorter than the other strings. Yamaha eliminates this common intonation problem with a special offset step cut into the saddle at the third string. Minimize
