Alvarez DY47 Yairi 1985 Sunburst

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Alvarez guitars like this 1985 Yairi DY47 always stand out as quality alternatives to higher priced instruments.

The top is solid spruce with a classic looking sunburst finish.  You'd never guess that the back and sides are laminated, based on the sound the guitar produces.  

The medium profile neck plays perfectly, and the guitar set up well with good action and saddle height.  The truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments, if needed.  

There are no cracks or issues, and the frets show light wear with years of life left.  

The internal bracing is tapered, kind of like a 40s Martin.  This lightens up the top, adding to the great sound.

There is a Fishman soundhole pickup, hardwired to an endpin output jack.  

Original hardshell case included.
