ANAHEIM, CA—Yamaha Corporation of America, Accessory Products, will unveil an entirely new line of guitar accessories at Winter NAMM 2002, featuring high quality products uniquely conceived and designed with the serious player in mind.

Premium guitar polish, finely balanced fretboard oil and durable, untreated polish cloths will provide complete protection for a guitarist's tool of trade. Shielded patch cables, precision cut picks and select straps will ensure the utmost in comfort and sonic consistency.

"Yamaha is highly respected for top quality musical instruments, and has recognized the need for top quality accessories," states Bryan Savage, marketing manager, Accessory Products. "For example, the shellac finish of the Yamaha GC7 handcrafted guitar receives 300 hand-rubbed coats and takes over three months to complete. A product like this demands only the finest care products. In addition, cabling should be able to withstand the rigors of repeated use. This line was created exclusively for serious musicians who appreciate and understand the necessity of professional grade accessories."
