1960s Sadao Yairi Classical Guitar

This is a very early Sadao Yairi classical guitar with a handwritten label inside that reads, "I put in all of my heart and soul to make this guitar for the lovers of music." How about that?

Jose did the level/dress and bridge/saddle modification job that turned this guitar into a proper player and then he bought it from the owner because it really is quite a fantastic classical. It's at once very full and warm while also having good balance, no "swampiness" to its bass, and a comfortable neck.

Its trim and details are understated and classy and it's held-up beautifully for its age. The materials are nice, too, and the Spanish-looking headstock design is a classy touch.
