2013 Alvarez-Yairi DYM70 Masterworks Dreadnought MINT condition

I am selling my 2013 Yairi DYM70 Masterworks dreadnaught acoustic guitar. These guitars are hand made in Japan using the best woods available. Even the internal bracing is hand shaped and tuned to each individual instrument. They then get an ultra thin finish that really lets the wood breathe and resonate. This guitar has Kazuo Yairi's hand written signature on the inside of the neck heel. Master Yairi used to make many of these guitars himself. This is one of the last that he personally worked on. Sadly, he passed away in 2014.

Guitar is in mint condition. The case is in excellent condition as it already had a few scuffs when I bought the guitar new from an authorized dealer.

Here is what Yairi says about the guitar spec:

DYM70 Dreadnought

Solid Sitka with Solid Indian Rosewood is still a combination hard to beat when wanting to build a powerful, dynamic and charismatic instrument. The wood choice also helps us deliver a really durable instrument suitable for a wide range of playing and musical styles. While the DYM60’s strong mids and warm tone will suit most player’s requirements, we think the DYM70 will suit every player’s needs. It’s simply a beautiful and wonderful guitar to play.

The DYM70 never seems to run out of punch, its dynamic range is vast and it listens to your needs. Stroke it and will whisper as quietly as you want it to, strum it as hard as you can and it will keep singing as loud as you need it you.

Everything is apparent in this guitar; bass, mids and trebles work together, they don’t fight with each other, therefore the player is free to approach the guitar from the song’s requirements rather than having to compensate for the instruments overly lively or under performing response.

You may have gathered we really love our DYM70s and we think you will too.

The DYM70 has an extended dovetail neck construction that maximizes the energy transfer between the neck and body. It also allows for a wider range of rod adjustment and decreases the risk of any neck/body irregularities.

Further innovation comes with the Direct Coupled Bridge. This system really shows off the craftsmanship of which these guitars are made. The DC Bridge means the pins actually go into the top of the guitar, taking the vibration to the heart of the soundboard and at the same time hugely increasing the break angle from the saddle to the top. This increased down pressure raises string tension, giving the guitar a very responsive feel and adding quality to its volume and sustain.

Like all Yairi Masterworks this guitar is made from premium tone wood that has been seasoned naturally for 5 to 15 years in the perfect climate of Kani.

Kani is in the prefecture of Gifu in the hills north of Nagoya. This wood preparation and environment for building guitars is very important to the structural integrity of the instrument and will help to ensure decades of stability and performance from your Yairi.

The DYM70 is our line in the sand, from here on in it’s the guitar that sets the standard for all our future development. From the outset it was this model that we built dozens of samples of, tweaking the construction and bracing along the way to find the sound we wanted. We believe this is one of the best guitars in the market today, an unfailing instrument that delivers player satisfaction note after note.
