Description

K.Yairi, a long-established domestic manufacturer
Thin-bodied elegant model

K. Yairi is a long-established manufacturer of Japanese acoustic guitars that Japan is proud of around the world. They are committed to domestically produced, handmade instruments, and their high quality has earned them high praise both at home and abroad.

This model is an elegant model from K. Yairi, which is well known for its high level of perfection.
The original "CE-3" has a nut width that is midway between the orthodox classical guitar-type "CE-1" and the narrow folk guitar-type "CE-2," and is a popular model that features a body that is thinner than a classical guitar.

Based on its highly versatile specifications, the manufacturer received persistent requests to create a variation with a slightly thicker body, which would maintain more classic tone nuances and excellent playability, and this model was born from this request.

This is a professional model that places more emphasis on the player's perspective, but since it is a custom-made model that is not included in the regular lineup, the number of units produced and the number of units available are limited.
