Question

Hi D. Hughes,
I wanted to also send a pic of the label for the guitar I just asked about.

Thanks,
Chris

Answer
Hello Chris,

For some reason I did not get notified of this reply?  I found it by accident when checking for something else...

As I said, I'll need to see the rest of the photo's before I can give you much more info.  The rosette on this one is more common, as is the label for S. Yairi's after 1973-74.  But, there were still many varieties of tonewoods that he used on the back/sides, fb/bridge and headstock shapes within the same model.

For classicals, the models ranged from 100 to over 900, so these are at the low end of the line.

When you get time, send the remainder of the photo's to yairi_luvr@comcast.net

Regards,
D.Hughes

Expertise

Alvarez/Alvarez Yairi, K. Yairi, S. Yairi, and Yairi and Son. There are also a few export models, Wilson and Samick by S. Yairi. NOTE: Due to very limited info available on K. Yairi, S. Yairi, and Yairi and Son models, without photo's I won't be able to do the research necessary to try and find the answers you want. Even then, we are talking about 50+ Years of guitar manufacturing, with hundreds of different models. A lot of which were exported to other countries, where info is even harder to find, so, I can't guarantee that I will be able to pinpoint your EXACT model! I will do my best to gather as much info, and answer your questions. PLEASE, if you have questions in regards to OTHER BRANDS, use the Guitar-General catagory, as I won't be able to help you. http://yairiguitars.spaces.live.com/
