: Anyone got anything to say about the YC-200?
: I've had mine for a few years but havn't played it a lot. Took it out of the case the other day, tuned it up and it still sounds great. But, there doesn't seem to be much info on the web.
Not much information indeed guys. I own a YC 200 from 1976. All massive wood, massive sound & brilliant balance. Higher tones sound like little bells. It's not for sale & I've never seen a second one in Holland. But I saw some YC100's. Owners wouldn't sell either. About the Alvarez Yairi CY200: it's not the same guitar though specifications are the same as far as I remember. The YC200 is built by K. Yairi, I guess before the merge or so. Price new was 2500 dutch guilders, so around 1200 Euro.
