I think Alvarez makes better guitars than Martin and Taylor both. The Yairi's are inredible.

I like the time honored way that Master Yairi builds his guitars !!! Check out his factory tour video and you will see what I mean. Truly hand made with care.

 I've seen the Taylor factory tour and they have a guy in the video that acts like he's in a drag race to put the prefabricated braces on with white glue. Taylors are punched out cookies compared to Yairi. Now that I see how Yairis are made, I will buy one and avoid the Taylors.

Yairi's are truly a bargain for a hand made guitar.

@localguy8 Kazuo Yairi purposely went with a laminate body. You really need to check out his factory tour here on youtube to appreciate the craftsmanship. There are some distinct advantages - namely that a lam body is less sensitive to changes in humidity and does not crack as easily if you were to smack the corner of your coffee table. The most critical part of a guitar is the top which should be solid (All Yairi models are). The bracing is also a critical factor.

There's a nine string Yairi for sale on ebay. Do they still make those?

You should check before you make broad statements. This guitatr, which I own, IS a Masterworks Yari, handmade in Japan with solid rosewood back and sides and a spruce top. It blew away a room full of many times more expensive Martins (some of which were constructed from plywood laminates) and other high-end acoustics. For the price is would be difficult to find a better instrument.

@localguy8 Laminate. IRW ....all Yairi guitars are laminate unless you get a Masterworks or Custom order from St. Louis Music. (also some VERY early Yairi guitars were solid wood B&S...very RARE and sought after...they have to usually be drilled thru the wood to tell the diff....also Yairi occasionally patched laminate pieces together for the inside of the backs...and if you look close you can sometimes see this.
