🎼 Why this guitar?
Since 1935, K.Yairi has produced world-class guitars from their workshop in Gifu, Japan, blending traditional luthiery with meticulous craftsmanship. Each instrument is entirely hand-built, often from air-dried tonewoods aged for decades. Their reputation for reliability and tone has made them a favorite among discerning players and even icons like Paul McCartney.
The G-1F embodies this legacy with a solid cedar top, LG-3 inspired styling, and the hallmark build quality that makes K.Yairi guitars both collectible and highly playable. With its 2000 build year, pristine condition, and original hard case, this G-1F is a superb choice for players seeking an authentic Made in Japan acoustic.
