To All, I impulsively bid on a Alvarez guitar on eBay (I don't NEED more). Then I began to wonder why I was one of the few interested in this guitar. So I ...
... There's no real way to know from thsoe pictures. Far too small. However, you have some legitimate concerns based on his behavior. You can (and probably...
Cannot tell what is on the back of the headstock. However, it does not look like a 2nd or used guitar. It appears this guitar was made in Japan (label) and was...
Hello Gransom... I looked at the ad and that is a pretty nice Alvarez for $299.00 !! Realize that Alvarez, especially at that time, was VERY picky about what...

... I suggested he complain about the auction he won, not the new one. I would include that the guitar was relisted with its new item number, and indicate...
Mike I agree with you, looks like one of the good vintage Alvarez guitars.. Real quailty. .I think you misunderstood the poster. The auction was canceled and...
Perhaps I am missing something here.. He did not win an auction. The auction was canceled by the seller. I suggest that he should take his concerns to the ebay...
Well, I'm sure that by now you've found out that you have the K. Yairi Tree of Life dreadnought!? I just finished reading about one, so the model number was...

Hello Dianne and Masami-san !! Great Friday to each of you (Saturday to you Masami). The same dealer that has the OY88 (relisted) on eBay is also selling a...
Hello,Mr. Michael. I believe that your 1877 DY96 is a great guitar. Now 1978 DY96 is listing on Japan Yahoo! Auctions . But we can't bid it, because it is very...
Masami-san, Thank you for showing us the ad. So is that 200,000 Yen the selling price, or opening price. Hmmm. I will have to watch that one. My DY96 has...
Hello,Michael Thank you for your DY96 info. 1978 DY96, the diamond inlays on the fingerboard are made of abalone and white celluloid. Yairi craftman said that...
Greetings, Masami! Thanks for posting about the fret marker borders. As you recall, I thought the borders on my 1986 DY-96 were nickel silver. After very close...

Hey Folks, Hope you all are having a great day. I'm 60 and now that I'm a senior citizen I am entitled to mess up stuff and can claim senility. LOL !! Anyway...
Ok then I read it wrong.. I thought the auction was ended early not completed. If that is the case then the buyer has the right to file a non performing seller...
... Yeah, that was what I was getting at. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh; your initial reply to my comment on the thread rubbed me the wrong way a bit. :) ...
Adam and others: This thread is a great primer for those using eBay... Let's cover some items: the seller posted FIVE photos, yes he did not have LARGE...
Hello,Mike. I live in Japan. But I have never gone to Yairi Factory in Gifu Japan. My friend often goes there. He heard it from Yairi craftman that the inlays...
Masami, It is my dream to do a couple of things when I retire: one is to go to the Outback with an opal dealer I bodyguard for and buy opal rough right at the...
To all The seller is stuck with listing fees and final value fees. This can be negated by the seller and buyer agreeing not to complete the transaction. Other...
Hello Masami and Big Mike: Here is a link to a pic of the bordered fret markers on my guitar. I am now 100% certain the border is celluloid. I don't know if I...
