Item Description
This is a hand-made Alvarez guitar by the one and only Kazuo Yairi in Kani, Japan. This beautiful classical guitar has a solid cedar top, laminated Brazilian rosewood back and sides, with an ebony fingerboard and ebony reinforced neck. This classical guitar is a discontinued model and is otherwise commercially unavailable. Though preowned, the passage of time has done nothing to diminish its sound or playability. It has been lovingly cared for and always kept in climate controlled storage. Because its structural condition is so good, its voice is still robust and clear, and its playability remains smooth and comfortable. The hard carrying case is included, as well as the original craftsman tags and information packet.
From the Alvarez-Yairi website: "The Yairi factory is in the small town of Kani, in the hills north of Nagoya, Japan. Here they have been making guitars for 80 years. The late Kazuo Yairi was one of the finest and most successful luthiers of our time and helped design and make Alvarez-Yairi guitars for nearly 50 years. Every neck is spoke shaved by hand, braces are carved and tops are tuned to perfection. Hide glues are used throughout, and attention to detail and quality of the build is incredible.”
