We love Yairi guitars, they're such beautiful instruments. They're still handmade to this day: a small team in Gifu in Japan's highlands still carves all the necks by hand, and they air dry and mill all their own timber on site. This model was a collab with major retailer Shimamura, so it got the cool black burst finish, offset dot inlays and the unusual ovangkol back and sides. It's a small body, similar to a Gibson LG or Martin 00 in shape, which is super comfy and lightweight in the hands. The neck is a soft-V shape, not super thin but neither thick, which feels great too. Ovangkol is a rosewood family timber from Africa, which lends this a hefty low end punch. It's remarkably loud for a small guitar, with a fast and punchy low end and a warm open treble. Like all Yairi stuff, there's a very pleasing balance across all the strings; it has a lovely dry clarity. This is a very enjoyable little guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: K.Yairi SRF-OV2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Japan, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 83908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage Black Burst (VBB), satin poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: solid sitka spruce top, laminate ovangkol back and sides, 375mm across, 100mm deep, LG style round shoulder small body shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: mahogany, rosewood fretboard, 43mm nut, 648mm scale,, soft V shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.800kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: bridge pin replaced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorguitars.com\/guitars\/acoustic\/features\/electronics\/expression-system%C2%AE-2\" title=\"Taylor Expression System 2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yairi lightweight semi-hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
