Hello everybody, I bought this yairi via ebay and am very satisfied with it. Does anyone have any information on material, quality and worth of this guitar ? I...
I know I've read this somewhere, but I can't find it now, so thought it might be faster to just post the question here. Is Brazilian Rosewood the same as...
Thanks Doug! Turns out that is one of the places I had read about it before~ that'll teach me to use a bookmark! Still don't quite understand why guitar makers...
Diane I agree with you it is very confusing and to make matters more confusing there is a lot of misinformation being spread by by well meaning persons. Hard...
Here's another little confusing tidbit for ya! Check out the specs on Yairi guitars from the 70's. The high end models were African Jacaranda. I've been trying...
Interesting topic. I've owned a number of 70's Alvarez Yairis (and one Alvarez 5053) that are Jacaranda. Each instrument had striking grained, bookmatched...
Wow! I was just looking at those specs and was going to mention the same thing! doo dee dooo dooo, doo dee dooo doo~ goosebumps... Anyway, that was going to be...
... Hi, Mike, I agree. I still own a 1975 dy85 with book-matched African Jacaranda back and sides. What I find most interesting is the difference between it...
MIke, I'm encouraged by your comments. As much as I love my 70s DY96 and am an adamant endorser of Alvarez Yairi guitars I am a little reluctant to tell some...
Mike, Best money I have spent in a long, long time! I'm retired and play 3- 4 hours a day. I know this is a subjective statement, but I honestly cannot imagine...
Mike, I've got a cy140, cy135 and cy130 from the time period of that spec. They are all laminates, but guess what, the inside laminate is indian rosewood. The...
Very interesting, Mark. I took a look at my laminated Yairis, today and what I found is that the inside laminates are the same wood as the outsides on all 3...
Perhaps someone can address a question that I have had about Yairi guitars. In the information available on the web I have noticed that Yairi finishes the...
Well, once again I'm going off what's left of my memory banks... but, I'm pretty sure that I've read a post on here in the past, that said that the laquer...
Hmmm... not sure what I see new, this is the site (Masami Itoh) that I've been reading through, since I first got the "bug" on Yairi guitars~ but, it certainly...
Never said it was "new" but if you take your time to look around you'll get the answer to WHY insides of some instruments are sprayed... no guessing required....
Hey, my guitar is new on there!LOL! Mike, I agree. Masami has done a great job on the site and continues to upgrade it when he finds new information. It is...
Very interesting indeed: The page you posted ois for the YD-60 as opposed to the DY-60. When I translate the page to English here is the text from the last...
OK, From what I can gather, the anniversary editions had a spruce top and ash back and sides. My kitchen cabinets are ash and they look just like your guitar....
Don't know if you all noticed, it got by me the first couple times I went there. Look at one of the catalogs, click on it. Scroll down to the bottom of that...
