The Alvarez-Yairi DYM70 Sunburst is a flagship Masterworks dreadnought handcrafted in Kani, Japan. Built with all-solid tonewoods that have been naturally seasoned for up to 15 years, it is designed for maximum projection, sustain, and dynamic range.

Sales Description: Masterbuilt Power and Artistry

The Alvarez-Yairi DYM70 Sunburst is often described as a "standard setter" for the brand, offering a powerful, charismatic voice that responds to both a light touch and heavy strumming. It features a premium AAA Sitka spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination renowned for deep, clear bass and shimmering trebles.

A standout feature is the Direct Coupled Bridge, a unique design that increases the break angle of the strings over the saddle. This maximizes energy transfer into the top for increased volume and sustain while reducing bridge lifting over time. The Extended Dovetail Neck Joint further enhances this resonance by providing a rock-solid connection between the one-piece mahogany neck and the body.
