Used Alvarez Yairi 5065 Natural Acoustic Guitar (1973) Dreadnought Jacaranda Back & Sides

This Alvarez Yairi 5065 Dreadnought, manufactured before 1973, presents a beautiful natural finish with laminated Jacaranda back and sides, resembling Brazilian rosewood but not solid. The build quality is typical of early Yairi guitars, known for their robust sound and durability. The solid spruce top compliments the laminated back and sides, giving the guitar a balanced and resonant tone. Despite its age, this guitar has been well-preserved with only minor cosmetic wear such as nicks and scuff marks, notably a pronounced mark on the back near the neck, minor playwear on the frets, and a reduced saddle. Nevertheless, it remains a standout instrument in terms of playability and sound. The tuners and truss rod are in excellent working condition, ensuring long-lasting performance. Loved for its strong, clear sound, this model is a testament to the craftsmanship of Kazuo Yairi during this era. - Body Shape: Steel-string Dreadnought - Top: Solid Spruce - Back & Sides: Laminated Jacaranda - Fingerboard & Bridge: Rosewood - Tuners: Chrome Grover-style machines - Manufactured in Japan by Kazuo Yairi - Date of Manufacture: Early 1970s (1971–1973) - Weight: 4.5 lbs - Cosmetic Condition: Good, with nicks, scuffs, and playwear visible
