Discover the Alvarez Yairi Series CY75CE, a classical guitar that embodies a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Born from the seasoned craftsmanship of the Yairi luthiers in Kani, Japan, this guitar is a testament to meticulous artistry and design. At its heart is a rich, AA-grade western red cedar top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, creating an enchanting blend of warmth, brightness, and resonance.

What sets the CY75CE apart is its hand-carved fan bracing system, a marvel that enhances projection and complements its classical cutaway shape. This intelligent design choice ensures that every note you play is full-bodied and articulate, whether you're strumming unplugged or plugged in. Thanks to the LR Baggs Element active pickup and preamp system, your performances will have a nuanced and rich sound capture, ideal for both live stages and recording sessions.

The CY75CE’s one-piece mahogany neck, complete with a Spanish heel joint, ensures a comfortable fretting experience, allowing for effortless transitions between chords. The Direct Coupled Bridge, a hallmark of Yairi's innovation, boosts the response by facilitating better vibration transfer. Additionally, the guitar’s elegant inlays, real bone nut and saddle, and Gotoh gold tuners add to its aesthetic allure, making it as visually captivating as it is sonically impressive.
