... Dianne, I would add only one bit of advice, and I hope I'm not repeating someone else. Make sure you don't buy a guitar that's too large for you. When I ...

I saw the pictures of your Y70. It looks nice. It might be a solid brazillian rosewood. Check to see if the grain veiwed from the insid of the back matches ...
I want to thank you for your info! I don't understand a lot of the terms, but I will try and see if I can at least see inside, and check the grain to see if...
I recently inherited this beautiful handmade classical guitar from my father-in-law. The guitar was bought for him by his father in 78' and it was in his...

Yairi guitars can be dated by the number stamped onto the back of the heel. The number is based on the Emperor of Japan at the time the guitar was built. The...
Thanks, that's very interesting.. however, the fellow I bought it from said it was close to 40 years old.. course, he could have been exaggerating, or just...
Dianne, Bruce is correct. Your guitar was built in 1974.I just acquired a yw500r and it was built in 1974 and has the number stamped on the heel block. Mine...
Well, that also answers the last question I posted, which was, if they no longer have the Emperor numbering... what do they use now? At least now it's not a...
