Superior Instruments for 

Discerning Musicians 

For more than 40 years, Alvarez has displayed an 

unwavering commitment to acoustic guitar quality, 

playability and aesthetics. Our collection of premium 

musical instruments and the skilled professionals who 

play them are a testament to this ideal. 

The Alvarez line is all-inclusive, from the Regent Series 

entry-level guitars, all the way up to the Masterworks 

Series of professional guitars which offer superb tone 

via solid backs, tops and sides. Regardless of the player, 

their ability or their budget, Alvarez has a quality 

instrument that has been custom-designed for that 

purpose. 

The Yairi line is the very definition of quality. They are 

hand-crafted in an old-fashioned workshop, hidden 

in the still beauty of the Japanese mountain village of 

Gifu. When other guitar companies were building large, 

computerized factories, master luthier Kazuo Yairi was 

buying wood. While others move to simpler, less human 

techniques, Yairi continues to use slower, traditional 

construction methods like the labor-intensive dovetail 

neck joint and hand-shaped bracing. Alvarez Yairi guitars 

are offered in a variety of standard body shapes, sizes 

and finish details. Each guitar is a one-of-a-kind work of 

art, with its own unique tone and aesthetic beauty. 

As a company, Alvarez continuously develops innovative 

features for our top-of-the-line instruments and then 

incorporates these improvements into the entire 

product line. The majority of Alvarez and Alvarez Yairi 

instruments get a rigorous final inspection and setup, 

ensuring each guitar is individually optimized for 

unparalleled playability.

Kazuo Yairi has dedicated his life to crafting the ultimate acoustic guitars. Every moment 

of that time, every bit of that expertise, is reflected in the Yairi Masterworks Series. Each 

instrument is entirely hand-made using premium selections from his legendary collection of 

patiently aged, naturally air-seasoned tonewoods. Exotic tonewoods and solid spruce tops 

produce an intriguing balance of rich warmth and irresistible sweetness. Gorgeous abalone 

accents and elegant detailing complete each breathtaking composition.

Follow the elaborate trail of woodgrain as it journeys across a guitar’s body. That intricate 

pattern, like the human fingerprint is a symbol of the instrument’s individuality. Unique in 

time and figure, each Yairi Standard Series guitar has a personality as distinctive as your own. 

We select the most coveted woods from around the world based on their sonic performance 

and aesthetic characteristics. Hawaiian koa delivers a charged midrange with crisp trebles 

and a throaty bass response. Indian rosewood sings with tremendous projection and chilling 

sustain. And Coral rosewood boasts a balanced voice with deep lows and crystalline high-end.

Silence. A warm wave of stage light blankets you. They have come to hear your music. 

You have come to perform. Regardless of the venue size or audience, Yairi Standard Series 

acoustic/electric guitars are designed to deliver natural acoustic sound through any sound 

system. Modern amplification systems deliver each note exactly as you play it. However, 

for some musicians, “amplified” doesn’t necessarily just mean louder. For that reason, Yairi 

acoustic/electrics feature the Alvarez System 600T MkII advanced preamp/EQ, which is 

capable of unlocking previously unimaginable possibilities for your music. Explore your sound.

You hear it in the elegant pacing of a classical air. You see it in the vivid charm of a folk 

dance. This is the voice of the guitarist who speaks with nylon strings. This is the spirit of 

the Yairi Classical Series guitar. Perhaps the deep warm bass of Indian rosewood or the 

crystalline treble of burled mahogany is what draws you in. Or maybe your eyes are held 

captive by the spidery black streaks that dance across the rich Brazilian rosewood, or the 

intricate mosaic rosette that accents the soundhole. Until you play a Yairi Classical, you 

can’t understand the attraction; once you play one, you simply can’t deny it.

The ADY1 Ani DiFranco model is a cutaway folk featuring an extra-deep 

mahogany body with a Canadian cedar top, resulting in a tuneful combination of 

sweetness, volume and clarity. Show stopping cosmetics are based around Ani’s 

unique pickguard design. Visually stunning, the design affords the cedar top 

protection from Ani’s highly percussive playing technique. 

Based on Monte’s battered 1987 DY62C, the MMY1 features the broken-in vibe 

of a distressed spruce top and a laminated mahogany/maple neck designed to 

withstand the intense stress of a Monte Montgomery performance. 

Bob Weir was instrumental in the development of the Yairi WY Series of 

performance guitars. Based on the specifications of Bob’s original prototype 

WY1, and enhanced with a distinctive 12th fret “lightning bolt” inlay, the WY1BW 

features a custom designed preamps/EQ system utilizing an internal condenser mic 

and bridge piezo blended with a unique crossover-based design.

Alvarez Professional Series guitars represent the delicate balance between unparalleled 

performance and stylish cosmetics. Solid Canadian spruce tops with scalloped bracing, 

matched with backs of solid Indian rosewood or mahogany, offer superb tone and 

projection. The traditional dovetail neck joint ensures optimum transfer of string energy 

between the neck and body, solidifying the structural integrity of the instrument. 

Professional Series guitars feature labor-intensive maple binding, genuine abalone shell 

inlays and gold hardware, creating an understated elegance and classic visual presence. And 

the System 600T MkII electronics present the most natural acoustic sound available to a 

wide range of recording and sound reinforcement equipment.

Take the stage and take control. \Whether you’re playing for five or 5,000, the Alvarez 

Fusion Series is the perfect choice for the live performer. Fusion Series guitars feature a 

thinner body style for feedback control and comfortable playing, all night long. Play them 

as loud as you want, or as tenderly as you can, and the System 600T MkII EQ will be true 

to the music in your head. Yes, those figured maple tops are beautiful, but the choice of 

maple goes beyond the mere cosmetic. It’s the inherent musicality of maple, well known 

for its clarity and articulation that produces amazingly faithful acoustic tone. The all-new 

FCC and FCF models feature an ultra-slim chambered body, for the ultimate in playability. 

They also include the Fishman Aura IC pickup, which provides all the technological benefits 

of the Aura series in a much slimmer design.

TIME HONORED HAND-CRAFTED WORKS OF ART. 

Over and over, those fortunate enough to work with Kazuo Yairi 

have been struck with the parallels between this guitar artisan and 

other fine artists. Kazuo Yairi is a master luthier and craftsman. Just 

as other artists have done through the centuries, he began serving 

this apprenticeship when he was eleven years old. With careful and 

meticulous guidance he learned to plan, design and execute exquisite 

guitars. By the time he completed his apprenticeship, his guitars 

were recognized as being of superior quality in both appearance and 

function. The pieces he creates can be compared to works of art. 

Indeed, his guitars are literally pieces of functional sculpture.

DEDICATION OF SKILL. DEDICATION OF SPIRIT. 

After more than 30 years, the Alvarez Guitar Shop has developed the most 

comprehensive pre-sale inspection and adjustment procedure in the industry. 

The majority of Alvarez and Alvarez Yairi guitars receive a detailed inspection 

to ensure that only instruments of the highest quality find their way to the 

customer’s hands. Instruments go through an advanced setup process that 

includes a full fretboard level and dress, filing of nut slots, multiple neck/ 

truss rod adjustments and exacting bridge saddle measurements. This 

ensures perfect intonation and unparalleled playability. 

It is the human element that can take a good instrument and make it great. 

Alvarez is dedicated to this end, in hopes that your investment in an Alvarez 

guitar will afford you many years of musical inspiration and playing pleasure.
