Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: A few minor dents present on the neck were filled, color-matched and refinished.
Handcrafted in Kani, Japan, the Alvarez Yairi WY-1 is a signature stage-ready folk cutaway acoustic-electric guitar famously co-designed with Bob Weir. It pairs a solid cedar top with rosewood back and sides, delivering immediate warmth, rich overtone complexity, and crisp projection. Weighing 4 lbs 10 oz, it features a smooth mahogany neck, a 20-fret ebony fingerboard, an ebony bridge, and elegant abalone rosette and inlay appointments. Outfitted with gold tuners, an onboard Alvarez System 500A preamp, and an included hardshell case, it provides exceptional acoustic responsiveness and versatile amplified performance.
