HI AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THE PRESENT YAIRI MODELS AVAILABLE TODAY ARE CLASSIFIED UNDER THE TONEWOOD,ECT. AND THEN A SPECIFIC DY100,ECT. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT...
Confused about solid vs laminate in Yairi's. The Yairi DY100-500 shows in the catalog as solid top, solid back, solid sides. The MD series also solid top,...
The DY Series are Yairis, the M, A, P series are Alvarez. The current DY-94 through DY-500 are all solid construction. The DY-91 and down are laminate back &...
Brett: Thanks for sharing the response to that last question. How about the CY or WY series? Can we expect that this series of guitars from Yairi are also...
Tony, I'm not sure what kind of wood is laminated between the tonewoods. It seems to me that somewhere I read it was basswood, but I don't know. As for the WY,...
I was recently approached to buy this 1989 CY130. I have just started learning and enjoyed playing tremendously. Yet I have no knowledge about the price nor...
Brett: Thanks again and yes, how much the back and sides contribute to a guitar's sound is a hotly debated issue, but the price isn't. The price on solid wood...
Tony & Group You are right about the debate over laminated side/backs vs solid side/backs...the jury is constantly rehashing. Owning many Yairi's and other ...
Hey Todd: Great comments, particularly regarding the low-end sound issue. Personally, I'm more inclined to get another Yairi and hold off on the Strat as a...
... It could probably go for between $400-$600 on EBAY, especially given it's condition. I have a 1978 cy130 conquistador and a 1984 cy135. They are nice...
Hello, Any Yairi owners out there? I am a new memeber and just want to know if any body got this! I have a 1984 DY90 and think Yairi's are the best Mike...
Mike, Welcome to the group. Your DY-90 sounds like a nice piece. We are all big Yairi fans here! I have three of them and some others here have more! Hope...
... Mike, Being fairly new myself, I understand it's a real treat to find out there are others out there who appreciate these great guitars. I've got 2...
Thanks Emory, Got your message. I'm curious about your i-beam, though. I originally had a Fishman Matrix Natural 1 in my DY90. Like everyone, I wanted a...
Mike Hello. I'm a big fan of the K&K pickups (I have ten guitars with either the K&K Pure Western or Trinity System). There is more handling noise than the ...
Mike, et.al., I've only had it since last Thurs, but I did use it Sunday in church. I'm running it into a Beheringer 602 desk mixer. I worked with it at ...
Emory, You join a number of us who use our Yairis in church praise bands. I most frequently play my DY-40 twelve string in ours. IMHO, there is not better...
Brett, I've been playing a DY76 in church for at least 15 years. We actually have 2 12 string players, but the other guy is on an Ovation (poor chap). Emory ...
I Play My Yairi Dy-39 in a Church worship band 2 . I Prefer using a Microphone, I have had acoustics with pick ups in the past and I was never really...
Marv No acoustic pickup sounds as good as a high quality, well-placed microphone for amplifying the sound of an acoustic guitar. But if you do want to amplify...
Marv, I had a K&K Pure Western in my DY90 for about a year. It sounded a bit more natural than the Fishman Matrix but after I used it to gig a few times at...
Mark, Thank you so much for the information :) I didn't even know it's made of cedar(and other woods I assume). Perhaps because it's not being made now, I...
I just got my WY-1 so I didn't have a chance to plug it in yet. Can anyone out there share their settings(that works best) on the pickup (600t)?..I understand...
Dave, The DCB stands for Direct Coupled Bridge. This is probably an early 1990's vintage Yairi when they were experimenting with this new bridge design. It...
I'd be interested in the same. Just finished purchasing a new WY-1SB with the 600T pre-amp. Should have it early next week. Can't wait to touch it. I'd be...
Folks, I have had my WY1-K for over a year, and it's by far my favorite guitar to play amplified. Great neck and feel, and I gotta say that the koa gets more...
