Yes, that's apparently the one. The back and sides are light colored but I guess they are rosewood. The guitar is dated 1981 and signed (or maybe stamped)...
I own one also, a 1984. It too, has a very light colored rosewood back and sides~ It looks more like Coral Rosewood to me, but I've been unable to find that...
Thanks for the reply. I ordered a saddle from the Alvarez folks, they don't have individual tuner parts, so I'll reach into my parts jar and fix it up enough...
Looking for a little more education. I have been hunting around for a second guitar to get my son off my Yairi and obviously lookig at the Alvarez guitars...
Alvarez guitars run the full gamut in quality... You can get some low- end starter guitars up to pro-grade stuff (or at least approaching "pro-grade" in the...
Great, Will! It'll be a night of dueling Yairis!... BTW, Monte is also featured on Daryl Hall's (of Hall and Oates) current web show. Especially check out...
One of the biggest differences besides build quality between the alvarez and yairi guitars is the wood quality and ageing of the wood . Most of alvarez ...
I am in the market for a new ax to complement the A-Y 5065 (Dreadnaught) that I bought in the 70's. Looking for something in Maple/Maple, Spruce/Maple or...
I own a 1976 S Yairi guitar. The label is dated 1976 has a cherub on each side and is numbered 850 on the top right side. I also has a wood signature label a...
Interesting viewpoint - and could be true about newer Alvarez Chinese made guitars - but not the early Alvarez MIJ guitars. I own several - one is for sale...
Most of the Alvarez models are now made in China (used to be Korea also)... except for MD1000, MD1000C, MF1000, MF1000C, and MC1000. These models are Japanese...
YL - I think the Alvarez Rosewood I am now selling on ebay could be one of the very early K. Yairi made Alvarez guitars - can you tell by looking at it? One...
George, The fellow with 22 Alvarez in his collection is incorrect... in regards to the label having to be pre 1974, I've seen the very same labels with dates...
I have an identical 5023 and, in my opinion, it is not one of the early Yairi made guitars. I also believe that the top is a laminated spruce top. Mine...
Thanks YL and Rick - you folks just keep adding to my knowledge base and I appreciate it. Very few guitars are in the same league as the K Yairi instruments....
Hi Folks, I have to sell another guitar. This time its a rare LS-10 Larrivee. It's a discontinued model. Very nice comfortable size. Here's a link to pics...
Very nice~ I'm sure someone will jump on it! YL ... From: Dan To: yairiguitars@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 17:07 Subject: [yairiguitars]...
Hi Bill - hope you are doing well. Maybe you missed the post by our Japanese friend. He stated that the sound hole inlays are definitely not original factory...
Hey Guys. I am new to the group. A few years back I had my heart set on buying a Fy95. I took a day visiting Woodwinds and brasswinds music warehouse-in...
Hello, and Welcome! Afraid I can't be much help in regards to the DY84 models (don't own one), but I'm guessing that it could depend on which tonewood you...
... I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but if you can find an old MADE IN WESTERLY RI Guild F47 OR D50 it will give you a great idea of just how...
This is a great site and appreciate everything that I,ve learned. But don't check my mail that often and it fills my mailbox. So how do I stop getting mail...
... But don't check my mail that often and it fills my mailbox. So how do I stop getting mail from yairi groups ? ... At the bottom of one of your YG...
I have a great dy50N with a solid cedar top with wind river jacaranda for the back and sides. Awesome guitar! My wife loves the mellow tone which I attribute...
I've checked that one out, several times. The seller has put it up over and over, sold it at least once (guess buyer either returned it, or never paid)....
Thanks for the info. I read some of his comments and was taken aback by them. I sent him an email asking for better photos. We'll see what happens. I...
You're welcome! I hope he responds to you better than he did to myself (and from what I've read in his feedback, quite a few others). Actually, I believe his...
