KY DYM500 - Handmade in Japan

Frankly, a breathtaking guitar to see and hold. One of the richest sounding guitars you will ever play.

What an honour to present this KY DYM500 Presentation Series Dreadnaught style model.
Can be rated by any player, strummer, cross picker, as one of the holy grails.

Stupendous selected solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, solid AAA Canadian Spruce top. Selected pieces of wood from the best and oldest and highest graded reserves in the workshops.

The finest choice of naturally aged woods from the legendary workshops of K Yairi, selected and sorted over the years.

The two piece solid Indian Rosewood gives a precise deep response , has the potential to modulate with ease. You really don't have to make much of an effort to make this guitar hum delightfully, and the power is just phenomenal. Crisp bell tones, deep resonant basses.

Harmonics seem like backing vocals , such a classic wood combination at its very best.
Finish and setup are impeccable, as you would expect.
A really big vibrant, powerful guitar, with response that allows modulation and expression.

Discretely classy all over. The flamed maple binding is glorious.

Gotoh 510 machineheads, Ebony tuning knobs.
Nut and bridge in bone.

43 mm nut.

The neck feels like a private airstrip for your own jet. Actually. Handsculpted by men who know.

Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard.
Hand carved neck and individually scalloped bracing.
K Yairi dovetail neck joint, hand carved and fitted, with a prolonged neck design under the soundboard.

Neck/body irregularities just don’t happen with a K Yairi guitar.
This guitar is set up for comfort, there is a connected feel in the left hand and the balanced sound is clear and really pleasant.

The right hand response is immediate, sound is balanced and pronounced in terms of definition. The power is unreal, rich, deep, wide like an ocean.

Pure acoustic, no electronics.
Each guitar we sell has been fully inspected, and checked for comfort and playability.
