1982 Yairi Alvarez DY85A

Posted by John Hargroove on Sun, 03/06/2011 - 19:00.

Hello... I have been all over the internet trying to find a value on my 1982 Yairi Alvarez DY85A - very good condition; would anyone have a guess as too what it would be worth?

Thanks! John

DY85A

Posted by Doug on Sun, 11/04/2012 - 18:06.

I too have a DY85A. They were only made in 1982, A stands for alternate with most notable difference from the DY85 being a 2 piece mahogany back, whereas the DY85 had 3 piece back, center rosewood flanked by mahogany either side. General value range is approximately $700 - $900 based on a few well informed sources from internet, which is where I got the above info. DY85 is the Standard Abalone model, and so DY85A has all of those features as well. Enjoy !!

Hello,

I saw your post and wanted to tell you that your guitar is the closest to mine that I can find. I don't know the value of them either, I'm sorry to say.
Mine is rosewood with no pic guard. Abalone inlays and solid abalone tuning keys. It has no lamination that I can tell inside or out. I bought it in 1985 and am the original owner. It is a DY 61 series, Signature Edition--model 58340. Please let me know what you find out. Thanx, AK

I have a K. Yairi DY 74C and a K. Yairi FY 40 that I'm trying to establish values for. The FY 40 appears to have K. Yairi's signature on the tag. Both guitars are in very good condition, and both play well. The sound of the DY 74C is quite extraordinary. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Yairi Y-15

Posted by Jim McCausland on Mon, 09/05/2011 - 22:00.

I have a beat-up Yairi Y-15 with an exquisite sound. I got it for $50 at a garage sale in a tiny town in Northern California; the price reflected the sellers lack of knowledge and the instrument's cosmetic flaws. If you want to sell one in decent shape, I'm interested.

Hey Jim- I'd be happy to send pics, but I'm not sure how to email you through this site? I'd like to get $400 for it, but am open to offers. I'm the second owner, original owner told me her dad bought it for her in the 70s. It's in close to perfect shape, with OHSC. If there isn't a way to email on this site I'll just put some pics up on photobucket when I get home tonight and post a link here. Thanks.
