Presenting a 1992 Alvarez K. Yairi DY80, a coveted 12-string model handcrafted in the esteemed workshop of Kazuo Yairi in Kani, Japan. During the 1990s, the DY80 was one of the most sought-after models in the Yairi catalog, celebrated for its combination of high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. 
 
This dreadnought 12-string is built with a classic pairing of a solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, a combination renowned for producing the lush, shimmering, and harmonically rich chorus effect that defines a truly great 12-string guitar. The tone is dimensional and articulate, perfect for everything from ringing open chords to intricate folk-style picking.
 
The mahogany neck is comfortable and stable, capped with a rosewood fretboard featuring the model's signature pearl snowflake inlay at the 12th fret. In good condition, this instrument represents a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of the Yairi legacy and comes complete with its original hard shell case.
