What we say:
At A Glance:
The Alvarez Yairi WY1 Stage Series Folk in Natural Satin, is an exquisitely built Japanese instrument. The Yairi line has a rich heritage, named after master luthier Kazuo Yairi and built in the small Japanese town of Kani. Truly hand built guitars, from luthiers with an eye for detail and a passion for delivering the absolute best.
Features We Love:
Direct Coupled Bridge
One of the most recognisable features of an Alvarez is the unique looking bridge. The design from master luthier Kazuo Yairi lowers the level of the bridge pins, increasing string tension over the saddle and in turn increases the resonance, response, and projection of sound.
Hand built
Fewer and fewer guitars today could be described as hand built, but the Alvarez Yairi line is certainly one that maintains tradition. Built by a passionate team of experienced luthiers in the small Japanese town of Kani, each guitar has a hand carved neck, finely shaved braces, and carefully tuned tops.
Premium Seasoned Tonewood
With years of experience behind them the luthiers at the Yairi factory have found the best way to season tonewood is to let it dry naturally at their factory. Before it's in your hands the wood from your guitar has spent 5-15 years seasoning in the beautiful climate of the Kani village in Japan.
