Alvarez-Yairi represents the driving force of Alvarez culture: obsessive attention to detail and traditional quality. Yairi’s formidable team of 24 luthiers still builds instruments the traditional way — sculpting guitars by hand using only the finest materials paired with advanced features like the Yairi direct-coupled bridge. Join Sweetwater’s Mitch Gallagher and Chris Meikle from Alvarez for a look at these stunning instruments!
