Flawless

I can't find a single flaw in this guitar.
The day it came in, I played it until I wore through the callouses on two fingers.
I knew a Yairi would be really nice, but it exceeded my expectations.
The workmanship is incredible and instrument itself is beautiful. Photos don't come close to demonstrating the richness of the wood grain or the intricacy of the inlay.
The sound was fuller than I expected from an OM guitar. The lows are deep and rich, but the highs ring out better than I expected from a mahogany top.
It's an incredible handmade instrument.
OK, it's on light duty now. My fingers keep shredding, but I can't put it down.
My only complaint is that I don't like the light color of the guitar case.

This guitar is amazing! I have always wanted an Alvarez Yairi guitar, and I was able to buy this one with an AMS flexible payment plan. It sounds wonderful and it is really easy to play. The craftmanship and attention to detail make it my new favorite guitar. I would suggest buying one if you get a chance.

Unbelievable

This guitar is, quite simply,
amazing.
The tone is so lush, the volume is so impressive for an OM. I play fingerstyle, and it’s excellent for that. Very responsive and warm.
When you hit it with a pick, it really screams though!
This thing will resonate like a bell for 5-10
seconds if you accidentally tap the side of it on the edge of the case when putting it away. (The case is great, too, BTW!)
I tried 3 in the store and they were all stunning, but all had their own individual personalities.
The fit and finish is perfect, the look is jaw dropping.
The materials are second to none.
And the price, while not cheap, is absolutely a bargain. Save your money and pull the trigger folks.
Put Martin or Taylor or Gibson on the headstock and you’re paying 5-8 grand for this, without question.
I could say more, and probably should, but just go get one. Don’t hesitate. They aren’t making these forever.
I’ll never need another acoustic guitar, and my children will have a lifetime, heirloom quality instrument as well.

What a voice!

This guitar is outstanding. It’s loud, resonant, projects, and has the sweetest voice. I bought this guitar l sight unseen, based off of a demo that J.P Cormier made on YouTube. I am certainly glad I pulled the trigger on this one. The mahogany is stunning, and it’s very light. The neck profile is perfect, going from a soft V to a comfortable C shape in the higher register. The attention to detail is what I expect from a handmade, boutique instrument. It’s such a beautiful guitar! I’ll be doing a video of it on my YouTube channel soon, comparing it to my Martin 000-15M and Martin D15M. I absolutely have to share this one with all of my friends. I’m inspired every time I pick it up. I couldn’t ask for a better finger style instrument, but it is so powerful when I strum it..maybe more than the dreadnought. Don’t hesitate to grab one if you see one for sale. AMS had 3 in when I got mine, and they sold out within a day. You will not be disappointed. Even the case is very nice!

Beautiful Guitar

This guitar is just the right size for me. I play at home so I didn't really want a dreadnought. It's incredibly light which I guess is due to how long the wood has been aged. However, it's surprisingly loud for its size. It's also very resonant with a beautiful warm sound. Cosmetically it's understated but beautiful. Definitely a keeper!
