Alvarez Yairi CY-140 Classical Guitar Natural 1997 w/ HSC

1997 Alvarez Yairi classical guitar, used, in good playing condition. This is a truly gorgeous guitar made with Yairi's high standards of workmanship; it features a Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, solid cedar top, ebony fretboard, a very attractive binding and rosette, and a bright tone with lots of warmth and projection. This is a fine example of a classical that checks all the right boxes! It's in good condition, with some noticeable cosmetic wear throughout (finish marks, swirling, etc). but nothing that affects tone or playability. Includes a Roadrunner hard case that is a little oversized, but functional.

From Zzounds:

Alvarez CY140 Yairi Classical Acoustic ––
Combines the beauty of Brazilian Rosewood and a tight-grained solid Cedar top with multi-layer Tortoise binding and intricate wood mosaic rosette. A fine handcrafted guitar.

Yairi Classical ––
Alvarez Yairi classical guitar designs are inspired by the great Spanish artisans of the past. While using the more traditional Torres fan bracing on the CY116 and CY118 models, the Ramirez-inspired transverse bracing, featured on the CYM95 and CY140, is for those players who require maximum tone and projection. All Yairi classical instruments feature solid Cedar tops, presenting an exceptional balance of lows, mids and highs.
