has anyone seen my beloved flint guitar pick?...I'm a-feared that someone on this group may have knapped it... -Dan :-) ... From: yairiguitars@yahoogroups.com ...
my 1992 DY62C has a volute, but my 2002 WY1K does not...I think only higher-end models have this feature... does the MMY1 have a volute?...it really shouldn't,...
Hey Dan: My 1996 DY62c has a raised, triangular piece at the back of the headstock where it joins the neck. Is this the volute? Looking back at pictures of...
If anyone has a doubleneck could you post the year made. I am trying to see how many years they made them. Mine is 1982 and their are pictures on this website...
Tony, That triangular piece of wood on your DY62C is indeed the volute...I can't
comment on your MMY1 neck as I have never seen one...sounds like it's pretty...
The widening and ridge you are talking about is still a valute. Gibson did this in the 70's to strengthen the neck. That's where the neck will split. The...
Greetings to all lovers of Yairi guitars, Thinner body style, with cutaway. Black, flamed maple, with ivory bindings. Alvarez-Yairi logo in abalone on the...
Hey folks, I know this is a Yairi Group however, this may be of interest to you. I've got an Alvarez PJ60CSB. If this model sounds strange to you, you're...
... Dan/Anyone, Have uploaded 4 pics of the guitar into the picture part of this site. 2 of the label through the soundhole and 2 of the full guitar. I'd still...
Martin First, thanks a bunch for uploading the pics. Every bit of info we get on Yairis expands what we know just a little more. I'm not going to be much...
I have a Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce d28 copy with the Alvarez in abalone headstock with the serial number 811 and the number 24701 stamped in the base of...
... I'm tempted to buy *this* one as an extra! ... I'll tell you how much after the bidding is over. ;) Really, It's how much *you* would pay for it -- we...
Martin, I have seen the pics of your guitar. The label in the guitar says "I carefully manufactured this for guitar lovers. Year 40 of Showa. Sadao Yairi". I'm...
Somewhat off topic, hoped to make up for it by putting Yairi (my DY 62C) in the title <G>. Since starting about 2 yrs ago playing mostly country rhythms. What...
I purchased my DY-72 new in 1988. When I purchased it I was told that it did not have a case. What I am wondering is: did the store rip me off for my case? ...
My experience has been with most new high end Yairi's a case is always included with the purchase. This same thing happened to me on a purchase of an 1868...
hey fellow Yairi-heads I want to know more about Yairi parlors and folk guitars, particularly: - the AY-20 from what I've seen it has a similar body profile to...
I second everything David said AND will repeat a story I learned in chef school about word of mouth. The adage in the business is if a woman comes to your...
You are right and I forgot to add the power of word of mouth. I have cost this store more sales then they will ever know and will continue to do so. The store...
I contacted St. Louis Music on the number of doublenecks made and got this reply. "Yairi does not provide sales records, and our company did not think to keep...
Steve, I'm sure Tom K. is close on his estimate. I would have guessed more than that also....kinda makes you wonder about the Blue Book estimated value of $400...
Hi, I had an AY-20, it was an awesome little guitar. It had a solid cedar top with beautiful walnut back and sides, and maple binding. I can't remember how...
Howdy! I wrote a few days ago introducing myself and my Yairi guitar and requesting any more information any of you experts might have about my guitar. I...
Hi Jon, I'm pretty sure there's some info on a DY77 in the blue book, but mine is several years old and not here (it's at work) so I can't tell you anything...
Kazuhiko Ishimizu I have been reading the letters in this group since last summer .Most of the back and forth letters are way over my head. No one seems to ...
