1972 S. Yairi YD-302 Acoustic Guitar

S. Yairi instruments from the early 1970s represent a compelling chapter in Japanese lutherie — built within the Yairi family tradition with a focus on quality materials and careful, considered construction. The YD-302 is a dreadnought acoustic from the peak of Japan's golden era of guitar making, when instruments coming out of Gifu prefecture were earning genuine international attention for their quality and character. Aged now for over five decades, this guitar has developed the warmth and resonance that only time can bring — a living, breathing piece of vintage Japanese craftsmanship. This 1972 example is in very good condition.
