If you're searching for a Guitar Maker that marries modern technology with a sense of classic craftsmanship, look no further than Alvarez Yairi guitars. The guitars are made by hand in a mountain village in Japan under the guidance of Kazuo Yairi, the renowned master luthier. The guitars are made of the finest handwoods (naturally air-dried and hand-selected) and crafted in an "old-fashioned" workshop by hand, using time-tested construction, including hand-molded bracing and dovetail neck joints. The various Alvarez Yairi WY1 guitars are produced with these world-class construction methods.
Quite a few WY1 models are currently available, including the WY1K, WY1M, WY1TS, and WY1 Standard. Each model is offered with a particular quality tonewood. For example, the standard WY1 uses a cedar top coupled with rosewood back and sides whereas the WY1M relies upon a gorgeous flamed maple top, sides, and back. The WY1 is constructed using a beautiful Koa wood and the WY1TS used a spruce top with figured maple for the sides and back.
All guitars in the WY1 series have the same basic feel, owing to their common construction blueprint. However, the variety of tonewoods available allow each model its own distinctive sound. Furthermore, the different models all have their own unique style of soundhole ornamentation and binding. Still, various models share excellent playability and build quality. Because of their versatility, the guitars lend themselves to many different styles of playing, from flatpicking to fingerpicking.
Each model in the WY1 series includes the company's System 600T MK II electronics as standard equipment. This system does a superb job in converting the WY1's beautiful acoustic sounds into electronic signals. The MK II electronics are built with the future in mind, since they provide for the possibility of adding a condenser microphone when needed. The onboard electronics also include a built-in Guitar Tuner.
The guitars' construction is just as novel as the electronics. The company's advanced techniques regarding their guitar designs include a coupled bridge design that decreases the forward pull from the bridge which results in much more stability and more "free" tone. The models also incorporate an extended neck tenon that provides a much wider range of truss rod adjustments. Obviously, these guitars have been carefully designed for maximum playing efficiency and durability of construction.
Clearly, the Alvarez-Yairi WY1 models are a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a quality Acoustic Electric instrument.
If you are looking for the best possible price on an Alvarez Yairi WY1 acoustic-electric guitar, look no further than Ray's Guitar Shop, which offers the best prices on all acoustic and electric instruments.
