Does anyone have info on the soundboard construction of the WY1K? I've been told by SLM Tom that is is of a laminated construction. From studying a wee bit of...
I've just purchased a Yairi Gakki 9002 Classical guitar but have yet to receive it. I believe this would have been built by Sada Yairi about 1973. Does anyone...
Without going back to compare and recheck, I'm pretty sure that the KOA model was the only one with a laminated top, the others are either Solid Cedar or...
Update! Hello again Harry~ Just found out that there are already some of these out... a few were sent to dealers (probably testing to see how much interest...
With these guitars, a pix would be needed to be sure what you have, since he had a tendency to switch numbers around quite often...but, the year is probably...
Hi guys, I swear there's an Alvarez connection coming, but bear with me. Google a guy named Billy Faier when you get a chance. He was running a radio show out...
Hello~ Maybe it's only because I'm running on fumes and 2 hours sleep.. but, where are the pictures located? I don't see any new photo's added to the...
Hello all- Been a few posts in recent weeks about some of the "not sold in the US" models, particularly the YW suitars. I just posted a few pics of one I have,...
look at the site under "Yairi or not" album. I wanted to attach the photos, but apparently that didn't work. The site shrinks the photos and you won't be able...
I was thinkin' the same thing about "where's the pics" and I'm well rested. LOL If you got a shot of the headstock it'll be pretty easy for most of us to spot...
Okay, from the headstock (and that's about all I can make out clearly) it's an Alvarez Yairi model~ can't say for sure what model/year, since most identifying...
Gosh, I hope the board isn't going to tweek out again! I posted a reply to this over an hour ago, and so far it hasn't shown up.??? Anyway, in the meantime...
I just added photo's of both models (dy70 and dy71) to the same album that has Jeff's pix.. so, you can compare them and see which one you believe is the one...
Thanks for all your help, YL. I'll let you know which one looks more familiar, but gotta do some shots of 100 buck a bottle tequila first. The guy who posted...
Thanks again Oh Yairi_Oracle.-) That is some exciting news. Things are happening... About that dealer that is living in my neighbourhood...I live in the arctic...
I guess that's one way to revisit the past when you played it~get looped enough so it'll look the same to you.. ;0) I'd be surprised if it's anything other...
I totally understand how you feel~ considering that even though I live in the U.S., there isn't an AY dealer within 500+ miles of me. That is what got me...
YL: Haven't got ahold of the owner of the guitar....turns out it belongs to the Texas Judge in the photo, so I'll try and email him....but he scares me...
I bought a 12-string AY (DY69) in 1975. The best guitar ever! (First thing I bought on credit) Unfortunately, the school in which I teach was broken into last...
Something that might help you is to let this group know where in the world you are located. There are lots of "eyes" out there. Also, if you are not already a...
I'm so sorry about your guitar! Michael has pretty much mentioned everything I could come up with, to try and find your guitar. However, I think you may have...
Thanks again yairi_luvr. I will send them an e-mail for detailed info. I have send you an e-mail as well with some other questions, hope that is ok? The DY...
Hello, I know there were two DY88's up recently, one (Black I think) had a repaired neck, so I didn't mention it to you~ the other (also black) was the lefty,...
Hi guys; You know I love my 5060.......almost as much as a 1953 Martin D-28 I used to own (which was the greatest guitar I've ever played or heard....period....
My authentication papers say my guitar is a DY69 and was finished in October of 1974. One pawn shop and a guitar store have received calls about a 12-string,...
Just based on being in law enforcement for oh 30 years don't expect the pawn shops to call you right up and tell you they have your guitar. Not likely to...
Hi Jeff, I personally don't care all that much about the new Yairi guitars. It's the old ones that I value. And, that's just the word to describe why we like...
Hello again, That's puzzling.. I double checked and the year prior and after, have no such model number listed. It could be a typo, and I certainly could be...
