K Yairi Guitars Serial Numbers
All K.Yairi’ guitars are handmade instruments originating from the small community of Kani, located in the Honshu mountains, Japan. The ‘K.Yairi’ guitar company is the brainchild of Mr.Kazuo Yairi,for decades a highly respected luthier internationally. FWIW: I have the same guitar, and it is around the same vintage as yours, with a 4 digit serial number and the headstock truss-rod adjustment. As you can see from the response from SLM, the headstock truss-rod adjustment was on the earliest Alvarez guitars. I have another Alvarez from 1981-2, that adjusts in the sound-hole.
Hi, I bought a new K Yairi in 1986, as a divorce gift to myself. LOL I would appreciate any info any can give me about it. The Label reads K Yairi of course. It say's, hand crafted, Date 1986, Model No AR321, Serial # 86534. It is in mint condition. I rarely played it. Would like to know what it may be worth, and anything else.
Am thinking of selling it. Was offered $200 from a pawn shop and didn't know it that was a fair price or not. I live in Ontario Canada, just north of Toronto. Many thanks David. Great condition, sound, finish, etc.
Looks like new. I bought this new around 1974-75 and has original case. Anyone interested in looking at it around the Columbus Ohio area? I don't want to ship it anywhere. It is in excellent condition except for a small crack in the headstock that I've never been too concerned with because its been there now for 25 years (it sort of got sat by my young daughter while on the sofa).

A guitar maker told me he could fix it no problem but at that time I didn't want to put any money in it. I thought I might sell it now because it's rarely played anymore, depending on what I can get for it. If it's not worth very much to someone, I'll just keep it and hand it down. Depending on the brand of tuning peg, you may want to try ebay. On some of the older models, Yairi used the 'Patent applied for' Grover tuners. I have seen some older complete sets for sale there as well as single tuners.
You want to make sure (if you buy and older single tuner) which side your replacement tuner goes on; bass or treble side. Or just keep the old ones in a safe place and buy a new set of your choosing. Stewart McDonald is another great place to try if you decide to buy a new set of tuners, they sell almost every model of Grover tuners that are made.
This guitar came off a Crosby, Stills and Nash tour (I have no documentation) and I brought it from their Guitar tech in 1993. Perfect Cond. W/Hard Case Maple Top Sunburst Finish Maple Back and Sides Ebony Fretboard Dreadnaught style, rounded cutaway body, curly maple top, round soundhole, 5 stripe bound body and rosette, maple back/sides, mahogany neck, 21 fret ebony fingerboard with pearl dot inlay, 12th fret has pearl snowflake inlay, ebony bridge with white abalone dot pins, 6 per side chrome tuners, bridge pickup, 3 band EQ. I've owned this guitar now since 1979. The frets and tuners are getting worn out. I managed to get my hands on 12 new tuners from the St Louis guitar company back a couple months ago.
I keep wondering if I should have a re-fret done or just sell it and buy a new Taylor 856 or Martin d12-28. I know that in order to get the same quality of guitar that my DY 68 is, I’ll have to drop $2.500 to $3.000. With Kazuo having died back in March 2014 there will be no more K Yairi guitars signed by him personally like mine is. What to do what to do.
I have been trying to find my 12 string in all the Alvarez Yairi cats and reference materials, but nothing seems to match up. I bought it in 1971, and recall paying between 700-800.00 for it ser# 24290, DY68.originally had the chrome diamond shaped tuners and the abalone inlay bridge pegs and the brown 'foamfit' case, which I have since replaced. As you can see, the headstock has the logo inlay, not the name.the inside label has the K.Yairi signature. Can anyone help with a value, picture reference, or any other info you feel might be helpful? Hi there - I own a K. Yairi classical guitar with a rectangular label inside the sound hole.
This label provides the following info: Hand Crafted K. Yairi - Anne 1978 - Model No YC40 - Serial No. 12571 - 53.3.06 - Kani, Gifu, Japan. I live in Denmark so the numbers may be especially European? Can anyone tell me more about the guitar and maybe approximately what it is worth? I bought it about 20 years ago from a reputable source and it is in very good condition. Owing to accident many years ago I am now disabled and cannot play anymore.
