This guitar was made in Alvarez's Yairi factory in Kani, Japan where all of their flagship models are made from hand. Each Yairi guitars are made from wood that has been "seasoned" in the Kani climate for 5 to 15 years giving the guitars their rich tone. This guitar features their FST2 bracing which is a forward shifted X and has a hand carved center scooped scalloping to the main braces and asymmetric scalloping to the two tone bars. That paired with their Direct Coupled Bridge (which allow the bridge pins to go into the top of the guitar) allow for increased sustain and balance.

This guitar is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear or use.
