As do all Alvarez Yairi Masterworks guitars, the DYM95C exhibits the legendary skill of master luthier Kazuo Yairi and his dedication to the highest level guitar craft. This instrument is handmade of select premium spruce and rosewood from his famous collection of well-aged, naturally air-dried woods. Its tone is rich, warm, articulate, and irresistibly sweet. The DYM 956C is responsive and beautiful, with gorgeous abalone and ivory accents, premium gold hardware, and flawless detailing.
