Hi all! Just my two cents' worth, but I've got the 600 system on my MMY1 & I've never heard any other guitar sound so naturally acoustic when plugged in. I ...
I concur with Richard concerning the System 600T. It's a very natural-sounding EQ unit, the phase switch works well to knock out feedback, the on-board tuner...
Hey Guys, I wasn't knocking the System 600. I just said I had no real experience with it. I have 3 Yairis with the 500A, 2 with the old PR- 400 and 1 with a...
I thought i'd check here for any offers before I put it up on ebay. It's in perfect condition, except for one tuning knob (the plastic part) is missing. No...
Dan, Sorry its taken a while to get back. Really, thanks so much for your response. It feels me with a warm glow to know that the guitar is a bit special - I...
Mark I have posted some pics of my B&M soloist on the site. Dan also kindly gave some views as to history and value - check out the message thread. Would love...
Here's the auction if aynones interested in buying. Note: I used some of the pictures from the photo gallery, but mine is in absolutely perfect condition. (I...
Thanks for the feedback. The DY87TBK sold for $450 on eBay and the buyer, a keyboard player just learning to play guitar, is VERY happy with it. In its place...
Jack: Yes, that looks like a mighty purty guitar. So it seems that 1973 could have been the first year of the "A/Y" headstock logo. Mine has the older Alvarez...
Hi Steve, S/N is 4591. Seems kind of unique to have the 5070 label, but with A/Y on the headstock. Must have been built right on the cusp of the transition to...
Do any of you with old Yairi's have Grover pegs instead of the Yairi brand? I have Grovers on one of my older models and they really don't look like...
Steve: My early 70's 5070 has the original Grovers I'm pretty sure since I've had it since 1973 and although I never met the original buyer the story I got was...
I thought the Yairi Tuners WERE Grovers with a Yairi Logo affixed to them...standard production stuff with a 'custom' design from the factory. St Louis Music...
Timothy, I agree with you wholeheartedly - I ALWAYS thought they were Grovers with a custom cover on the back. And yeah, even my old 1977 and 1976 Yairis with...
I have a Yairi with grovers and replaced them when two of them broke. I am not sure how old the guitar is but I bought it in 1990 in a pawn shop in Orlando,...
It is just strange because the guitar I am talking about is my 1982 doublenneck. The six string has grover tuners, with that name on the back. But the 12 has...
... Timothy, I'm not -certain-, but I believe that many of the 1980s US models featured Gotoh tuners with the AY design (and often other goodies) added. For...
Howdy! My '74 DY77 has Grovers - still work great. As I've mentioned before, I love both the sound and feel of this guitar - the only problem I have with it is...
If you look at the A-Y brochure ca. 1976 in the file section, it lists most models coming stock with Grovers. I bought my '72 5067 brand new and it had...
Well, this is interesting. The Grovers on my 5070 have "Grover - patent pending" on them. Does anyone know how long that went on for? Or did they never get a...
I just won the auction for a 1978 DY-74C on ebay, it arrives this week..hopefully. It looks to be in very nice condition, though the previous owner had...
-in continuation of my previous post, I wanted to mention I found the DY-74C that I bought on ebay under 'alvarez' for the ebay search..The antique store owner...
I wouldn't be a bit concerned that your DY74C has laminate back and sides. My DY74C has the second-best acoustic sound of any of my Yairis. My DY52 sounds a...
