Alvarez Yairi Masterworks
DY 200 , 2003
Signed by Kazuo Yairi
All Reasonable Offers Considered This Alvarez Yairi Masterworks DY200 is in perfect mint condition. It is a very rare find. I have been the original owner who purchased it brand new from a guitar shop in Cape Cod in 2006. I paid $2300 for it.
It has been carefully stored and is in perfect mint condition. This one was signed by Kazuo Yairi on the heel block. It is a very rare guitar. In my opinion the DY200 was the best guitar that Yairi ever made. The craftsmanship is impeccable with the beautiful maple binding all around. The resonance is incredible.
This guitar really has not been played. It is like it has been in a time machine. You will not find another like it and Kazuo Yairi will not make any more as he has passed away. Here are the main features:

Solid Sitka Spruce Top
Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
Maple Binding all around
Abalone Shell Soundhole Rosette
Abalone 12th Fret Diagonal Marker
Ebony Fretboard
Nato Mahogany Neck
Ebony Direct coupled Bridge (DCB)
Gold Die Cast Tuners
Scalloped braces
Natural Vintage Lacquer
Original Case with Key
Heel Block Signature by Kazuo Yairi
Serial Number on Heel Block: 03 04 016

There is not much more that I can say about this guitar as it is one of the finest guitars ever made.
Kazuo Yairi was famous for the impeccable handmade craftsmanship as well as using the best aged woods ever available. This was the at the top of the line with a retail price of $3599. You simply will not find a better guitar. These DY200\'s are getting very rare and one in this condition is is a one of a kind.
I am only selling due to financial issues. Whoever purchases it will be extremely pleased and will own a piece of guitar history.
Note: I have another DY200 that I purchased as a personal guitar around year 2000. It has a B-Band installed.
It is super clean also, but has been played very little. If interested, let me know.
