Vintage Japanese handmade classical guitar in excellent condition that comes with the original (great condition) hard case. The Kazuo Yairi's popular model CY 116 is a unique model that has her unique voice among all the CY model lines. It is considered to be one of the brightest and loudest professional grade performance Yairi guitars. The CY 116 is the only model that features a burled and flaming mahogany on the back and side, that gives you a brilliant tone and quick response after plucking the string. Please note the vintage CY-116s in many aspects are different from those contemporary ones seen at your local guitar centers. The major difference is the wood selection and the tuner. This guitar has a room-filling volume and a beautiful tone, with no plastic tone or wolf tone often heard on contemporary guitars. This guitar is in excellent condition. There are 2 flaws: a minor ding on the top near the bottom edge, and a smudge on the manufacturer label in the sound hold (water drip from a dampit). Pictures of both defects shown.
