Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. Some of the frets were polished and made to be level with the other frets. The frets ends were sticking out and were rounded off and polished. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.

Experience the exceptional craftsmanship of this Alvarez Yairi parlor guitar, born from the renowned K. Yairi factory in Japan! Its solid Honduran mahogany top, back, and sides project a warm, vibrant tone, beautifully showcased by the natural gloss finish. With a silky ebony fingerboard featuring a subtle 12th fret inlay and elegant Gotoh gold tuners with ebony buttons, every detail promises a superb playing feel. This isn't merely an instrument; it's a sound investment, meticulously attended to by a luthier. The frets were polished and leveled, and the fret ends smoothly rounded for unparalleled comfort. Fully adjusted and rock-solid, this Alvarez Yairi is absolutely primed to deliver brilliant, captivating melodies!
