SOLD


A beautiful little hand made K. Yairi guitar from Japan. Something of a hybrid really between a slope shouldered acoustic and a jazzy archtop.

It has a distinctive tone and is wonderful at that old blues guitar sound from the early years, approach it differently and it is a great jazz comping guitar.

It is light and comfortable to play, the action is low, no fret wear and intonation is spot on, using finger picking or a pick it sounds lovely. it is in superb condition, obviousley only had home use and has been looked after.

It comes with its original Yairi branded hard case and all its original case candy, even has a branded hand made tuner winder, how sweet

here is some blurb I found:

Artist series RP 1
Flamed maple back and sides, finest Sitka top, Schaller machine heads.
Nut in bone, ebony bridge.
Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard.
The maple gives great attack and definition in a balanced sound, cutting through the mix.
The finest selection of naturally seasoned woods from the legendary workshops of K Yairi.

Only selling to help fund the Mcllroy I have just bought
