2023 DY-45 Honduras Rosewood [NewItem]

Have you ever encountered an instrument that made practicing and playing more enjoyable than ever?

K.Yairi / DY-45 Honduras Rosewood

K.Yairi, a top brand that continues to support the world of Japanese folk guitars, has always maintained its commitment to handmade craftsmanship by a select team of skilled artisans in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture.
Its craftsmanship is widely supported by top players worldwide, and its overseas export models under the "ALVAREZ YAIRI" name are cherished by Paul McCartney.

This time, we introduce the highly popular "DY-45" from the Standard Series.
Faithfully following the Style-45, this model features trim and rosettes adorned with abalone, combined with high-grade, tightly-grained spruce. One glance reveals it is a premium, special instrument.
The sides and back feature Honduran rosewood, a premium alternative to Brazilian rosewood. Its lighter wood tone creates a beautiful contrast with the spruce top.

Sound-wise, it doesn't have that "New" freshness, which is actually a good thing.
It's light and mature, giving the strong impression that it significantly shortcuts the aging process needed to develop character.
While the use of oil-poor Honduran rosewood is one factor, Yairi Guitars' uncompromising craftsmanship, rigorous final sound checks, and the "craftsman's signature" applied after these checks all demonstrate absolute confidence in this sound.

Given this sound quality, the value for money at this price point is undeniably high.
