Great review and information. There is a LOAD of great guitars being made. You all have the bases covered for any acoustic need. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks so much for the kind words, that really means a lot to be acknowledged! 😄

@architypeone8646 Ай бұрын

The woods used on the Yairi guitars are air dried, (as opposed to kiln dried), for several years before becoming a guitar. Mr. Yairi collected tone woods for decades and built a huge stockpile of wood that is aging and waiting to be used.

@AlexA99423 Ай бұрын

I admire the Yairi for the way they're doing their own thing. The bridge design is very clever; trying to get the best of a floating bridge without the hassles.

After listening to Alvarez comparison app I chose to buy a Yairi parlor all Mahogany which had more clarity than the Laureate which I thought I would like. Thanks guys for your work. Love your channel.

Good and timely video, guys. Trying to wrap my brain around these two Alvarez series. Would love to hear a comparison between the Eastman E20OO and the Laureate Parlor, when you get one in. Thanks.

@kennethhockey2598 Ай бұрын

In my opinion, the Yairi line of Alvarez is really in a class all it's own, especially in its tonal qualities. And the tonal qualities is really due, in large, to the unique bridge construction (that break angle is envious to other manufacturers, I'm sure) You do a super job explaining and such on your videos, thank you all very much ☺️👍🎼

@texhaines9957 Ай бұрын

Totally, the Yairi stands out. I would have been try the neck profile before buying either one. I've already purchased nice guitars from TAS below and above these prices with good tone and necks. Thanks

@kurt8805 Ай бұрын

Good info. A better sound comparison, though, would be between two 14 fret models. It's nice that the Acoustic Shoppe will carry these lines as most dealers only have a few Regent and Artist series models to try.

I picked up a Yairi FYM 70 this past Christmas. The build quality of this guitar is impeccable. I would put it up against a Santa Cruz that I used to own or the Boucher that I now own.

@LifeWideOpen780 Ай бұрын

High praise

@kamarienedwards1757 Ай бұрын

I’ve seen so many videos about Boucher and if you’re giving the yairis this much praise I have to check it out

@1deadtoe707 28 күн бұрын

@@kamarienedwards1757 The Yairi FYM is made with very nice material and the build quality is exceptional. My Boucher is a HG 26. if I put the two guitars side-by-side, and played the exact same notes, I'm not sure you would hear the Yairi because the projection of the.Boucher is so pronounced. I don't know why this is the case unless it is the Adirondack top on the Boucher. It's the only guitar I have ever owned with an Adi top and the projection is just incredible.

@markjohnson6485 Ай бұрын

I’m a guitar nut so I like them both either model would serve a person well depending on how much you want to spend . I think the Laureate is for those that need the price point and can not break tradition . That can be a hard task once something is in one’s head it is hard to get out .

How does the Laureate compare to the Yamaha LL16?

@johnjones-uc3ni 18 күн бұрын

The Laurette is a good guitar. I know Alveraz is doing its best to build it like a bench made guitar by using the best materials. But in the end it's still a production guitar. All decisions are made to spec before the guitars are built. No adjustments once it hits the production line. Yairi is a step by step process to bring out the best in the materials through the entire build. On a recent Alveraz video a Laurette parlor and a Yairi parlor were compared. One strum on the Yairi showed the signicant difference in clarity and sustain.

@treetopher9342 Ай бұрын

I don’t think the pickguard is finished over on Yairi. I’m pretty sure they’re inlaid.

@kurt8805 14 күн бұрын

Nope, finished over. I have the DYM60HD and it's taken me a while to get accustomed to not seeing a dark pick guard.

That Yairi bridge is so ugly it hurts my eyes… sorry!

@johnjones-uc3ni 2 күн бұрын

Not really ugly just different. And it serves its purpose. I recently watched a video where a guy who works for Alveraz said that there are spare Alveraz Yairi bridges at the shop but they have NEVER had to replace one. That's because there is zero upward pull on the bridge. So I would definitely get used to the look versus having to pay to reglue a regular bridge. Which happens with Martin, Taylor, etc.
