Alvarez Yairi Masterworks GYM60HD Grand Auditorium Spruce/Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Alvarez and Yairi have enjoyed an uninterrupted 55-year partnership in producing exquisite guitars, made by hand, from naturally seasoned woods with an unwavering commitment to quality and design. Every neck is spoke shaved by hand, braces are carved, and tops are tuned to perfection. The attention to detail and quality of the build are impeccable. Kazuo Yairi and his loyal team of luthiers created an incredibly efficient and innovative workshop. Being able to work with such a lineage of master builders is very rare. Some of the luthiers have been at Yairi for over 50 years. Their skills and experience are shared with younger luthiers to form a multi-generational team who have chosen guitar building as their livelihood and dedicated their working lives to the craft. Alvarez guitars are the result of the close collaboration between Alvarez & Yairi-a sharing of knowledge and an obsessional approach to excellence.

Comes with a Deluxe Wood Hardshell Case.
