ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – Alvarez Guitars is thrilled to be shipping its expanded handmade line of Japanese guitars. The expanded Yairi line was introduced earlier this year and is made up of 30 models which offers more body shapes, cutaway options, colors and 12-strings.
“2018 was a landmark year for Alvarez-Yairi,” says Chris Meikle, Head of Development at Alvarez and Senior Vice President of St. Louis Music. “ We enjoyed triple digit growth this year and we look forward to 2019 also being a year to remember. This new line up is more diverse and can appeal to more players, we look forward to demonstrating the Yairi difference on the road throughout the USA.”
Alvarez debuted several all new models and also a range of upgraded Yairi guitars at Winter NAMM. Among them, the Brad Davis signature DYM70BD, designed for Grammy winner and guitar virtuoso Brad Davis. Also new for 2019 are the DY70CE-12 twelve string, available in natural and shadowburst finishes, and several Grand Auditorium and Folk shapes, the GY70CESHB and FY70CESHB.
