No. ALVAREZ-YAIRI is the name used by St. Louis Music for the USA sale of YAIRI guitars. All of these guitars are made in Japan by K. Yairi. Most (or all)...
I own an Alvarez 5460 which I very much enjoy playing. I don't think it plays or sounds as well as my DY-60, but it's not bad and I've played it along side...

... FY- ... well they didnt meet my reserves so after some thought I'm keeping the FY-40. I played this one often & I'm glad it didnt sell. The AR373E I...
... owners ... What about the sound? How they compare with say Ernie Ball Earthwood? And which Elixir sounds better, the original or the ultra thin coating? ...
I use them all the time they sound great on stage and last much longer then uncoated strings. I'm sure there are "better" sounding strings out there but for a...
Which ones you reckon sound better,,the polyweb or the nanoweb? I use a Maton guitar and a heavier guage is recommended. I use an 11 but 12 is the recommended....

I use Elixr's on almost all my guitars. Three of my Taylors 855e, 810, and K-20 currently have Elixr's on them. I have the new Elxir Phosphor Bronze on the...

Yep, me, too. Tried em and they sounded dead, felt greasy and got little hairs sticking out from them after about 3 hours play time. Still think D'Addarios are...
Have to agree with you on the D'addarios. I think they are 80/20 mix of metals. When doing studio recording I used to use Dean Markley mediums cause the sixth...

On my Yamaha, I'd prefer the sweet tone. On the Maton, a more mellowed "woody" earthy tone. But the Elixer sounded kinna too bright. Especially when strummed,...
I'm wondering why the Maton has to use a 12 gauge which is horrible to the fingers. On a 10 or 9, there's no volumme at all. ... might try a set of those but...
Well, I've just put them on. And one thing that's tedious is to have to change all sixes. Perhaps someone could give us a mix review from first to sixth mix of...
