Kazuo Yairi’s influence can be seen and heard in every guitar we make, from his innovations in bracing and instrumental architecture to his knowledge of tonewoods and their specific attributes and characteristics.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlvarez-Yairi represents their flagship guitars, where each instrument is treated and prepared as a handmade work of art. Each brace is carved by hand, each neck is spokeshaved to perfection. Tonewoods of the highest grade are naturally seasoned for years to decades before being used in the production process.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe DY70CE features our FST2 bracing system, a forward shifted X-brace design which was the result of years of research and development. FST2 features center scooped scalloping to the main braces and asymmetric scalloping to the two tone bars. In this way, we optimize the separation between each string and maximize balance and projection.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis DY70CE Dreadnought is a powerful guitar with a rich voice. It’s very warm sounding with as much low end as any player would need, yet very balanced with round, full trebles. It has been carefully designed to take advantage of a dreadnought shape’s best properties. It features a solid AA grade sitka spruce top and is and fitted with the LR Baggs Stage Pro and Element pickup system.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe StagePro Element is a side-mounted preamp\/EQ that offers easy battery access and a full chromatic tuner with three band EQ. Unlike common undersaddle pickups that are dependent on string compression for their sound, the Element Pickup was engineered to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play, reproducing the natural sound of the guitar very closely.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFurther innovation comes with the Direct Coupled Bridge. This system displays the craftsmanship with which these guitars are made. The DC Bridge means the pins actually go into the top of the guitar, taking the vibration to the heart of the soundboard and simultaneously increasing the break angle from the saddle to the top. This increased down pressure raises string tension, giving the guitar a very responsive feel and adding quality to its volume and sustain. Other presentments include hand cut and assembled pearl and abalone inlays, ivoroid binding, ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge and ebony bridge pins.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike all Yairi Standard Series, this guitar is made from premium tonewood that has been seasoned naturally for 5 to 15 years in the perfect climate of Kani.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Wood \u003c\/b\u003e Solid AA Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish \u003c\/b\u003e Natural\/Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack and Sides Wood \u003c\/b\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape \u003c\/b\u003e Dreadnought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck \u003c\/b\u003e One piece mahogany, 50\/50 Semi gloss finish, Extended neck joint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood Direct Coupled\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays \u003c\/b\u003e Abalone \u0026amp; Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood with 12th Abalone Fret Inlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Plate \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut and Saddle \u003c\/b\u003e Real Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner \u003c\/b\u003e Gotoh Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding \u003c\/b\u003e Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins \u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings \u003c\/b\u003e D'Addario EXP16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccessories \u003c\/b\u003e Deluxe Wood Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing Systems \u003c\/b\u003e FST2 - Forward Shifted, Assymetric Tone Bars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Joint \u003c\/b\u003e Dovetail, Extended Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Meets Body \u003c\/b\u003e 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets \u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup \/ EQ \u003c\/b\u003e LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pick Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverall Length (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 1030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale (inches) \u003c\/b\u003e 25 1\/2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets \u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width (mm) \u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width (inches) \u003c\/b\u003e 1 23\/32\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42606604976371,"sku":"04ALV084","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/DY70CE-Front_CROP.png?v=1648564861","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/alvarez-yairi-standard-dreadnought-dy70ce-acoustic-electric-with-cutaway","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
