Alvarez Yairi DYMR70SB Acoustic Guitar - Sunburst

This special creation from Alvarez-Yairi Masterworks pairs modern workhorse features with a slope-shouldered dreadnought body for old-school tone and dreamy playability. Based on Yairi’s flagship DYM70, the DYMR70SB features solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, a AAA Sitka spruce top, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with a bold 12th fret neck joint that takes this guitar’s fingerpicking potential to the next level. These premium features work in harmony with custom Yairi bracing, bold hardware, and a unique bridge for plenty of power that yields to the slightest touch. If you’re on the hunt for a premium solid wood acoustic with strong vintage vibes, then you'll find the DYMR70SB delivers all this and more at a great price.

Handcrafted mahogany and spruce Few makers dare offer such elegant tonewoods at this price point. The DYMR70SB’s rosewood back and sides offer rolling lows, snappy midrange, and razor-sharp treble that respond effortlessly to player dynamics. Capping this is a AAA Sitka spruce top that guides this guitar’s voice to vintage-inspired heights with plenty of clarity and sustain. Plus, acoustic enthusiasts love the DYMR70SB's advanced “soft-V” to “C” profile mahogany neck which keeps chording and picking smooth and divine on both ends of the neck.

Asymmetric bracing and a Direct Coupled bridge Inside, the DYMR70SB's custom asymmetric bracing helps tease even levels and balanced tone across lows, mids, and highs for the range and versatility dreadnought players crave. A proprietary Direct Coupled bridge puts your strings in pure communication with the spruce top, representing a huge leap from bridges past. Direct Coupling gives more contact between strings and your guitar top; this not only boosts everything from volume to sustain and response, but it also reduces long-term wear and tear on the bridge for a more durable instrument. Also onboard is a slightly wider 44mm nut for a little extra fingerboard room so you can tackle picking or leads with extreme precision.
