Alvarez FYM70CE Yairi Masterworks Folk/OM All Solid Spruce/Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Alvarez partnership with the Yairi family of luthiers in Kani, Japan is a cherished part of our 55-year history. Kazuo Yairi's influence can be seen and heard in every guitar we make, from his innovations in bracing and instrumental architecture to his knowledge of tonewoods and their specific attributes and characteristics.

The FYM70CE features our FST2 bracing system, a forward shifted X-brace design which was the result of years of research and development. FST2 features center scooped scalloping to the main braces and asymmetric scalloping to the two tone bars. In this way, we optimize the separation between each string and maximize balance and projection. Players love Folk/OM or OOO shapes for their wonderful balance across all strings, making them ideal for fingerpicking. The FYM70CE has been carefully designed to take advantage of a folk shape's best properties. It features a solid AAA grade sitka spruce top and is fitted with the LR Baggs VTC system with Element pick up and soundhole console.

Comes with a Deluxe Wood Case.
