hand-crafted Kiari model no. GF120 by K.Yairi which is signed (see pictures)
Made in GIFU, JAPAN .. As are all k yairi guitars
This particular guitar is from between 1969 to 1972 I am uncertain
Been with me a while now
This model was intended at the time to be a mid range market model ... History and owners have shown they are wonderfully instruments made with meticulous craftsman ship .. All yairi models are generally highly desirable and sort after
This guitar is easily comparable to a modern model of double this price.
Just running your fingers over the wood will let you know it's a superior quality instrument of it's time
The fact you have searched for the name shows this
She has a cedar front and back I believe , with cypress wood sides and ebony fretboard.
Frets are in very reasonable condition as is the fret board
This model has an almost invisible scratch plate
She has a few dinks here and there nothing major but easily seen
Very playable instrument that I shall miss
Selling without a case
But it will come in a well packed acoustic guitar cardboard padded box for transport
If buyer is within 150 miles I'll deliver it for the cost of petrol and have a day out
No postage offered buyer can arrange this them selves as I don't want the responsibility of any claims for insured parcels
