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 there 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. Yairi guitars are the result of the close collaboration between Alvarez & Yairi--a sharing of knowledge and an obsessional approach to excellence.
For 2024 Alvarez-Yairi is expanding its line of "Vintage Wood" offerings with the new Vintage Redwood series, the introduction of the new FST6 bracing and the addition of the LR Baggs Hi-Fi pickup system.
The FST6 bracing is similar in shape and placement to the previous FST2 system, but the braces are lighter in weight. In the quest to strike the perfect balance between strength and vibration, FST6 delivers with a heightened richness they found impossible not to embrace.
Playing an instrument that instantly, almost intuitively reacts to your requests is a result Yairi continually strives to achieve. They feel FST6 increases the connection with the player and responds effortlessly.
The "Vintage" Californian Redwood offered on this guitar was purchased by Mr. Yairi many decades ago, it is being paired with East Indian Rosewood helping to create an instrument with new tonal horizons.
The new LR Baggs Hi-Fi system integrates beautifully with the Alvarez-Yairi instruments to help you bring your sound to a larger audience.
