A stunning combination of select tonewoods and unparalleled hand craftsmanship.
Handcrafted in an old-fashioned workshop in a Japanese mountain village under the personal guidance
of master luthier Kazuo Yairi, Alvarez Yairi guitars are made with extremely choice tonewoods. The woods are naturally air
dried and crafted into instruments with individually hand-shaped bracing and dovetail neck joints. This WY1 model is constructed
of premium Hawaiian koa for a completely unique look and warm, powerful tone.
Yairi's brilliant design innovations
include an extended neck tenon for a wider range of rod adjustment and no neck/body irregularities. A unique coupled bridge
design removes the forward pull from the bridge itself for greater stability and lighter bracing, leading to freer tone.
This
Virtuoso model comes with the expressive System 600T MK II electronics for premium acoustic-electric amplification. Other
enhancements include a bound ebony fretboard, abalone rosette, multiple body binding, bound ebony headstock veneer, and gold
die-cast tuners with amber buttons.
