Default Did you know Kazuo Yairi passed away?

Just thought I would share this article to whoever it may concern.

RIP, Mr. Yairi. I am saddened to see you go. Your guitars sing on, though!

Actually we've already had a good, long thread about it. He was one of the greats and will be missed!

R.I.P. Fine guitar maker. I have a 1975 Alvarez Yairi DY-85 Dreadnought in Spruce and Jacaranda Rosewood. Gorgeous. Bought it new. Fine guitar, but too big for me now. Will be selling her soon.
