Dreadnought Guitar with Case - Sunburst Gloss
Description
In the small town of Kani, nestled in the hills north of Nagoya, Japan, lies the renowned K. Yairi guitar factory. They have been crafting guitars here for over 80 years.
Alvarez and Yairi have enjoyed an uninterrupted 55-year partnership in producing exquisite guitars, made by hand, from naturally seasoned woods with an unwavering commitment to quality and design. Every neck is spoke shaved by hand, braces are carved, and tops are tuned to perfection. The attention to detail and quality of the build are impeccable.
Kazuo Yairi and his loyal team of luthiers created an incredibly efficient and innovative workshop. Being able to work with such a lineage of master builders is very rare. Some of the luthiers have been at Yairi for over 50 years. Their skills and experience are shared with younger luthiers to form a multi-generational team who have chosen guitar building as their livelihood and dedicated their working lives to the craft. Our guitars are the result of the close collaboration between Alvarez & Yairi—a sharing of knowledge and an obsessional approach to excellence.
Key Features
- Solid AA Western Red Cedar Top: Paired with premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides under a gorgeous, deep vintage tobacco sunburst gloss finish. This rare pairing yields quick, intimate note response and a remarkably warm, clear tone
- LR Baggs StagePro Bronze System: Features a low-profile, small-footprint side-mounted preamp matched with an under-saddle Element pickup. It provides a clean aesthetic layout along with a built-in tuner, 3-band EQ, phase inversion, and notch filtering
- Extended Dovetail Neck Joint: Constructed with a one-piece mahogany neck featuring an extended neck-to-body joint layout. This enhances energy transfer while decreasing structural risks over time
- Direct Coupled Rosewood Bridge: Employs Yairi's signature stepped bridge alignment that steepens the string break angle and isolates string vibration directly into the soundboard top coat, creating stunning sustain
- Meticulously bound in ivoroid trim and dressed with 1.5mm premium Paua abalone purfling around the body, complemented by a custom abalone Yairi emblem inlay at the 12th fret.
