I would imagine you will still have to go through a dealer to order a custom Yairi. My advice is, that if you live in the US< contact the importer which is St....
I'm a Yairi dealer and have direct connections with the factory in Japan. I'd be glad to assist. Moe Michael Dunn <mdunn@...> wrote: I would imagine you...
DY-85s are terrific guitars, real tone cannons and a real value. Over the years Yairi produced different versions of this model - some with 3 pieces of...
I've heard the term Jacaranda a lot when talking about Yairi's. Does anyone know more about that type of wood? I thought it was a type of Brazilian rosewood....
I recently acquired a DY 87 TR. The inside label dates it at 1990. Does anyone have any info on this guitar? Its an acoustic-electric cutaway. What kind of...
From all the Googleing I did Jacaranda seems to be a type of Brazilian rosewood (from the other side of the Rio river that "Brazilian Rosewood" comes from)....
The guy I listed this for says it's figured jacaranda with rosewood in the middle. I can't confirm this. If I had to guess, I'd say the figured wood is...
He says he was going by what the add said when he bought it but he can't confirm what is the truth. In any event, it is a very pretty guitar with an awesome...
It's burled mahogany on either side of the center panel of rosewood (catalog does not list it as Jacaranda). But, as already stated by Mike, the DY85 has had...
This is good advice. There is a program for doing this. I looked into it a few years ago for a solid brazilian rosewood classical. The local dealer said he ...
Hi, I am new to this forum and have had a nostalgic trip down memory lane looking at the photos! I had a K Yairi purchased in 1978. I have no idea what model...

Hi Mark, Thanks for that. Looks like it went for a reasonable price although cheap at $450 NZD perhaps. I have identified the guitar I used to have as a YW...
1993 Alvarez Yairi DY-45. I put gold Grover 3x3 locking machine heads and a martin 332 Gold Plus Thinline transducer pickup. I was wondering about a pickup to...
Anyone have any problems with strings grooving into the wood on the Yairi split bridges. Mine has been doing it and got much worse to the point the bridge pins...
Just a thought, know that almost all of AY dreads require lighter gauge strings to keep the bridge from lifting or being damaged...could this be the cause of...
well I'm using 11 through 52's so I don't think that's the problem. I glued some toothpick wood in the groove and that helped a bunch but I fear that's gonna...
I remember taking my 5053 and DY96 to my trusty lutiher, Dave Tupper. He told me that the tops of the Yairis needed a medium guage string, like a 12-52 set to...

I have one of the blue Alvarez cases from the early 90's. It has a 3 number combination lock that I never set. Well, she decided to lock somehow! My DY53N is...
If you never set it, it probably is 000. I bought one used with lock locked and the screws taken out. I decided one day to go through and try every #, it...

I am in search for several guitars that were owned by my uncle. He has since passed away so I'm doing what I can to keep them in the family. I'm assuming they...
Hi Dianne, It's me, Rick, from Tucson again. Are you still interested in selling your DY90? I had my luthier look at the pictures of the sound board and he...
