K.Yairi YW-1000 1974 Jacaranda Japan Vintage Cat's Eye Blue Case Included Yairi
Thank you for visiting.
This is a K.yairi YW-1000. It is a Japanese vintage guitar manufactured in 1974. The dots are arranged horizontally on the right side, and the logo is very thick.
As for its condition, considering that it has been manufactured about 50 years ago, it has been well cared for and is in relatively good condition overall. The only negative point is that there is some cloudiness on the head and upper sides (see photos 3 and 7). The sides and back are made of rare Jacaranda wood and have very beautiful grain.
The string height is set low, about 2.5mm on the 6th string side and about 1.8mm on the 1st string side, which is measured by an amateur, making it very easy to play. There is no pickup installed. The pegs have probably been replaced. They are gold ones made by GOTOH with the original K.yairi logo. The action is smooth and there is plenty of plating remaining. (See photos 3 and 4).
In my opinion, the sound is very good, with a clear outline. If you have enough storage space, this is a guitar you will want to own, and I think you will be very satisfied with it. The YW-1000 also has a gorgeous look that is reminiscent of the Martin D45. The purfling on the top, the sides of the fingerboard, and the rosette are decorated with wide, high-quality abalone shell inlays, as you would expect from a vintage guitar. It is a very popular model that is relatively inexpensive and gives off the atmosphere of the Martin D45, and there are relatively many of them on the used market, but I don't think there are many vintage 1974 models. I hope that this opportunity will be passed on to a K. Yairi fan.
Since I do not have the original hard case, there is some rust on the metal fittings and the condition is not great, but I will include a fairly valuable vintage Cat's Eye blue case (which also has the logo).
