1981 Alvarez-Yairi DY75 Dreadnought Guitar

Overview: This is a pretty old Alvarez-Yairi with wood binding and fancy wood purfling trim at every edge. It has a good, D-18-like sound and has aged-in to a buttery-sweet look in the clearcoat. It has sealed tuners, plenty of saddle height left for adjustment, the aforementioned trim, and a very "Martin" handling style with a medium, soft-V neck profile that feels like it's ported-over from '60s D models. It even has a volute at the back of the headstock.

Repairs included: As I recall, it got a bridge reglue, level/dress of the frets, saddle work, and setup work courtesy of Jacobi and Jose. It's playing like a champ and ready to go.
