    Description

    Vintage Kazuo Yairi Classical Guitar Alvarez Model 5050 1971 Japan w Case NICE! Shipped with USPS Priority Mail or FEDEX, depending on which makes more sense for the package size.
    This is a nice condition 1971 Japanese Kazuo Yairi made Alvarez model #5050 classical guitar, with its original hard case.
    It plays nicely and I didn't encounter any fret issues. I see no cracks or other signs of structural issues and it sounds great - this should make a great player for someone!
    From what I've read this has a cedar top, rosewood sides and back, and an ebony fretboard. This model is no longer made and was subsequently produced under the CY120 / CY140 model names.
    I made a quick video of this guitar - while I'm not much of a classical guitar player I wanted you to be able to see that all frets/strings played with no buzzes or issues: https://youtu.be/TXNDYwy0nKY
    While it is a vintage guitar it has minimal wear - a few very light scratches and the tuning keys have plastic sleeves that the string winds around and a few have cracks but don't seem to impact anything (they can be replaced if desired). I would also advice a string replacement for best tuning / intonation.
    The guitar has a nice warm color to match its nice warm tones. Again, very nice especially for 50 years old!
    While I do not offer returns, bid with confidence as I have 100% positive feedback after nearly 20 years on Ebay!
