This is a 1977 K. Yairi DY-45. It was the highest-grade model in the lineup at the time, and its appearance is attractive with a luxurious abalone inlay that resembles a Martin D-45. I think this is a true handmade guitar. The sound is also very pleasant, with shimmering overtones and good sustain. The elegant and delicate high-frequency sound is also superb. This guitar is highly recommended for those who have a strong respect for artists who have loved D-45s both in Japan and abroad, such as Neil Young, CSN&Y, Ry Cooder, and Kazuhiko Kato. The real thing continues to skyrocket in price year after year, so guitars in this position are also becoming increasingly out of reach. Don't miss this opportunity. There are signs of use, dents, scratches, and slight clouding of the paint, which are typical for its age. Please check the images. The label is difficult to identify, but there is also a "DY45" stamp. A K. Yairi genuine case is included, although it is from a different era.
