In an effort to pay for my new Santa Cruz I am offering my old Yairi up for sale. If you are unfamiliar with these instruments they are handmade Japanese guitars distributed in the US under the Alvarez-Yairi label not to be mistaken with the standard Alvarez line.

This particular dreadnought has a solid sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck and a rosewood/ebony fingerboard. It’s been played regularly for twenty years and as such shows typical wear. There was a pickup installed before I got it and it works fine. I assume it’s a Fishman or a thinline of some sort.

Price: $600 with a hardshell case.
