Hi all. First post here. I was at my local Guitar Center today, and found a used 12-string Yairi. It is model number DC-1, a 12-fret slope shouldered...
Curious as to the value of an Alvarez Yairi CY-135. I found what I believe to be a good deal. Its a CY-135 for 400.00. Before I buy this I wanted to check to...
Hi All, Please forgive my ignorance! I'm trying to find some information about a guitar I've had for many years. It's a Yairi with a paper label inside. The...
I have one and really like it. I got it from Elderly Instruments for $675 a few years ago. It really has a lot of volume and a sweet sound. It is has a very...
Sorry, I did not read that it was an S Yairi. If it is solid Rosewood, or even laminate undamaged, it could go for more - say $500 - on ebay. If the label has...
I don't see a 5018 in the catalogs I have, but you might try asking at the Alvarez Message Boards. http://www.alvarezgtr.com/messageboard/viewforum.php? ...
Don't know if you ever found the answer, but figured since I was just reading up on these myself, might as well answer it. The S had nothing to do with it...
From the Blue Book (posted under Files): DC 1 VIRTUOSO 12-STRING - rounded shoulder dreadnaught style, solid spruce top, round soundhole, ivoroid bound body,...
I played an Alvarez MC90 today. It is solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a solid ceder top that looked like spruce. Prices vary from $590 to $850. This...
I just bought an 87 yairi cy-135. My first classical I've ever owned. Can anyone help me with which strings would sound best on this. I bought it without...
I've always preferred Augustine blue lables myself if you can find them. Seems they're getting more rare these days. stuckniowa <stuckniowa@...> wrote:...
wow... I was just about to post a similar question, having just purchased a 1976 CY-135! If yours is anything like mine you must be thrilled to have it! I was...
I think the secret may be out. The Cy135 has the same top bracing system as the Cy140 I recently acquired one and like it as well as the Cy140. Because of the...
I decided to look through the catalogs while waiting for info~ and I found the Description and Spec page for the 1976 models. I was surprised to find that the...
You are right about the specs being the same. The CY140 was advertised as a limited production guitar. But the CY135 was advertised as a concert guitar either...
It's been my experience with all types of guitars, that the harder the tension, or the larger the guage of strings, the harder they are to push down. It's...
All I've got a cy135 and a cy140. They sound really different. The 140 has a much darker sound - sonorous. The 135 is brighter. I can't tell you why. The cy140...
That's a good post and very informative. I've never used a set of Augustine blue's that had intonation problems, and I've used them for quite a number of...
Maybe I played them too long (way passed dead since I was in grad school and was on a tight budget). However, others have expressed that problem. Anyway, here...
The rosettes are different. The CY135 has a Ramirez 1-A rosette and the Cy140 has a Cy140 rosette. The 135 is a nearly exact copy of a 1-A visually. Of course...
Hi there guys, I'm new here. I have just picked up a 1983 W1TW 12-string in Australia and can find very little informarion about it. A couple of questions: 1....
Hello, I hope posting this is OK - I looked through old posts and saw that other folks have also put notices like this in the forum without being chastised ;-)...
Thanks - I thought the fingerboard was ebony - its basically black, and I mean black! Could be a wood variation or else it was dyed to be black. The bridge is...
Just unwrapped a new guitar, and wanted to clean up the fb, however, it has a lot of large abalone inlays, and I've never dealt with this before, what is the...
