K.Yairi / 1976 YW-800
The YW series is a signature line embodying K.Yairi's technical expertise within a traditional body style.
The YW-800 features a dreadnought-sized body. The expansive resonance of its solid spruce top combines with the crisp brilliance imparted by its rosewood laminate sides and back, creating a unique sense of transparency.
Wood aged over 50 years produces a surprisingly light and airy resonance.
When strummed, the top responds instantly to even light pressure, projecting a sound that seems to push air outward.
The high frequencies carry a sparkling sustain, while the mid-to-low range avoids excessive bulk, forming a sound with depth.
This is a sound nurtured by half a century—an experience we invite you to discover.
When you play arpeggios, the reverberation gently drifts down into the space.
This experience transforms everyday moments into beautiful time.
Its visual presence is also exceptional.
The Avalon binding, hexagon inlay, and vertical logo headstock... a presence reminiscent of Martin's higher-end models.
A special instrument combining elegance with a vintage aura.
A guitar that responds without needing to be played forcefully doesn't allow the player to tense up unnecessarily. It gives the player time to think about/learn how to make it sing.
What kind of song? How to make it sing?
Even that time spent thinking feels like a special moment of dialogue with the guitar.
