K Yairi Guitars Serial Numbers

Hi there - I own a K. Dead rising wii iso torrent games. Yairi classical guitar with a rectangular label inside the sound hole. This label provides the following info: Hand Crafted K. Yairi - Anne 1978 - Model No YC40 - Serial No. 12571 - 53.3.06 - Kani, Gifu, Japan. I live in Denmark so the numbers may be especially European? Since it's my 35th birthday today I'm going to post this guitar even though it's not. As I mentioned earlier I recently became the proud owner of a 1973 K. Of Emperor Shōwa, meaning 1973, I love the Emperor based serial numbers.

Hi, I bought a new K Yairi in 1986, as a divorce gift to myself. LOL I would appreciate any info any can give me about it. The Label reads K Yairi of course.

It say's, hand crafted, Date 1986, Model No AR321, Serial # 86534. It is in mint condition. I rarely played it.

Would like to know what it may be worth, and anything else. Am thinking of selling it. Was offered $200 from a pawn shop and didn't know it that was a fair price or not.

I live in Ontario Canada, just north of Toronto. Many thanks David. Great condition, sound, finish, etc.

Looks like new. I bought this new around 1974-75 and has original case. Anyone interested in looking at it around the Columbus Ohio area? I don't want to ship it anywhere. It is in excellent condition except for a small crack in the headstock that I've never been too concerned with because its been there now for 25 years (it sort of got sat by my young daughter while on the sofa). A guitar maker told me he could fix it no problem but at that time I didn't want to put any money in it. I thought I might sell it now because it's rarely played anymore, depending on what I can get for it.

If it's not worth very much to someone, I'll just keep it and hand it down. Depending on the brand of tuning peg, you may want to try ebay. On some of the older models, Yairi used the 'Patent applied for' Grover tuners. I have seen some older complete sets for sale there as well as single tuners.

You want to make sure (if you buy and older single tuner) which side your replacement tuner goes on; bass or treble side. Or just keep the old ones in a safe place and buy a new set of your choosing. Stewart McDonald is another great place to try if you decide to buy a new set of tuners, they sell almost every model of Grover tuners that are made. This guitar came off a Crosby, Stills and Nash tour (I have no documentation) and I brought it from their Guitar tech in 1993. Perfect Cond. W/Hard Case Maple Top
Sunburst Finish

Ebony Fretboard Dreadnaught style, rounded cutaway body, curly maple top, round soundhole, 5 stripe bound

12th fret has pearl snowflake inlay, ebony bridge with white abalone dot pins, 6 per side chrome tuners,

I've owned this guitar now since 1979. The frets and tuners are getting worn out. I managed to get my hands on 12 new tuners from the St Louis guitar company back a couple months ago. I keep wondering if I should have a re-fret done or just sell it and buy a new Taylor 856 or Martin d12-28. I know that in order to get the same quality of guitar that my DY 68 is, I’ll have to drop $2.500 to $3.000.
