K Yairi KY FYM94 OV SPR 61540

We are very privileged to have this classic  K Yairi FYM94 Ovankol /Spruce from the Masterworks series.
Certainly one of the finest folk out there !

The resonance and vibrant response is stunning. Ovankol gives perhaps more power than Mahogany, but with a nice warmth nevertheless.

All solid Ovankol, solid Canadian Sitka Spruce top.

The finest choice of naturally aged woods from the legendary workshops of K Yairi, selected and sorted over the years.

Ovankol is now one of my favourites, with less boom than mahogany but with the soft tone we all appreciate for finger style. Nice definition in the attack of the notes.

Less overloaded harmonics compared to Indian Rosewood.
Finish and setup are impeccable.
Light and vibrant, with response that allows modulation and expression.

Discretely classy abalone and mother of pearl inlays ornate the purling and headstock.

This instrument is brand new condition with no marks or wear whatsoever. Not preowned.

Gotoh machineheads, ebony tuning knobs.
Nut and bridge in bone.

44mm nut. 55mm at 12 fret.

Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard.
Hand carved neck and individually scalloped bracing.
K Yairi dovetail neck joint, hand carved and fitted, with a prolonged neck design under the soundboard.

Neck/body irregularities just don’t happen with a K Yairi guitar.

The Direct Coupled Bridge gives a steeper angle from the bridge to the string pin, which increases pressure on the bridge , resulting in increased volume, sustain, projection. 

This guitar is set up for comfort, there is a connected feel in the left hand and the balanced sound is clear and really pleasant.

The right hand response is immediate, sound is balanced and pronounced in terms of definition.
Delivered in a Hiscox case.

Pure acoustic, no electronics.
