Description
A masterpiece of Japanese vintage
Product Introduction
We have a second-hand YW-800 from K.yairi in stock, featuring a luxurious vertical logo!
This luxurious guitar features an aged spruce top, high-quality Jacaranda back and sides, and a mahogany neck!
Please check out the beautiful Jacaranda in the pictures!
The bright sound with clear grain and plenty of harmonic content will give a sense of euphoria to not only the listener but also the player.
The list price of 80,000 yen, which was the same as the starting salary for a college graduate at the time, is about 220,000 yen today.
Even if you gave up on getting it back then because it was so expensive, you might be able to get it now.
Moreover, 50 years of aging has added depth to the sound, so I would definitely recommend getting one.
When you pluck the strings, the sounds of that era will come back to life like opening a time capsule, transporting you back to the 1970s.
★The history of the YW800 is listed under "Product Details", so if you have time, please take a look! [Click to read]

There is a long scratch and a small dent on the bottom right of the body top, as well as pick scratches and other scratches due to aging, but it does not affect the sound!

▼ [History of the YW-800]
The Story of the K.Yairi YW-800: A Masterpiece Acoustic Guitar Made in Japan
In the 1970s, Japan's musical instrument manufacturing industry was experiencing rapid growth. Amid this, K.Yairi, a small workshop based in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, was forging its own path.
Founder Kazuo Yairi aimed to create a guitar that could be used worldwide by combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the latest technology.
In 1974, K. Yairi launched the YW series as a new challenge, and the YW-800 was the model that attracted the most attention.
This model was inspired by the legendary American guitar, the Martin D-45, but was a unique guitar that incorporated Japanese craftsmanship and sensibility.
The features of the YW-800 are as follows:
- Solid spruce top: Made from carefully selected, high-quality spruce, it provides rich acoustic characteristics.
- Jacaranda sides and back: Provides beautiful grain and deep tone.
-Avalon inlay: Luxurious decoration and a beautiful design.
-Precise production by Japanese craftsmen: Each guitar is carefully crafted to be of high quality.
The YW-800 quickly caught the attention of many musicians with its excellent sound quality and beautiful appearance. Professional guitarists both in Japan and overseas began to use this guitar.
The 1979 YW-800 is particularly highly regarded and remains popular in the vintage guitar market today. Models from this era are characterized by the unique texture that comes from years of use and the tone that matures with repeated playing.
The YW-800 was a culmination of Japanese craftsmanship and passion for music, and became a symbol of Japanese-made guitars that were recognized around the world.
Today, the YW-800 is highly regarded as a "Japanese vintage" guitar. Many guitar enthusiasts and collectors continue to search for this legendary model. Its unique tone and historical value continue to fascinate many musicians.
The K.Yairi YW-800 is a masterpiece that symbolizes the golden age of Japanese guitar manufacturing, and continues to convey its history and appeal to the present day.
