This is a real top quality guitar which can compete with some 'Famous name' models that are far more expensive.Anybody that is familiar with Yairi guitars will already know how good they are. If you have not heard of them have a look on Google and You Tube. K Yairi was a master craftsmen.This example is a YW11B model from 1982. It has a Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides. There are some nicks and marks here and there but nothing major and for a 35 year old guitar it really is in good condition. Plus because of it's age it has a wonderfully matured sound.It's absolutely lovely to play with a great balanced and resonant sound right the way up the fretboard. It just oozes quality. The only problem for me is that it has 48 mm neck width and I don't have the largest of hands so it's a bit more of a struggle for me to play (e.g. getting the thumb over the top) than the more common 43 mm width. I have therefore decided, sadly, to let this one go as I have a couple of other nice guitars with the narrower width neck which suit me better.Comes with a hard case.May be able to deliver depending on where you are - I travel sometimes for work from Nottingham to London or Southampton so may be able to fit something in with one of these trips or meet you somewhere if you are not too far off route. Please contact to discuss this option.
