We just took in an incredible guitar, this limited edition Yairi KYF-3 CTM.  We've never had one of these before, and all of us here immediately fell in love with it.  This is a very unique guitar, unlike anything else out there.

Wonderfully crafted in Japan in 2015, this KYF-3 CTM is an example of the what the luthiers at Yairi can do.  It features a 3-ply Brazilian Rosewood top, beautifully figure Maple back & sides, a Mahogany neck and Ebony fretboard.  The cream binding and abalone purfiling really add a nice touch and match the guitar perfectly.  It has a very comfortable C shaped neck that is easy to play, with 20 frets.  Whether strumming, finger picking arpeggios or playing lead lines, this guitar will serve you well.

The KYF-3 CTM was made to be amplified and is loaded with a Fishman Presys pickup/preamp system.  You can dial in your tone, and also stay in tune with the built-in tuner.   We tested it through a Fishman Loudbox as well as a Fender Acoustic SFX, and it sounded absolutely incredible.  This guitar would also work well for direct recording, and we can see the new owner of it getting it for that exact purpose.

The guitar is in excellent condition - the previous owner is a collector who takes meticulous care of his instrments.  It has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  The original hardshell case is included.

You won't see many (if any) of these out there, so if you're interested, this is the one to grab before it's gone.   It's a rare find.
