KY RAGM90V

K Yairi KY RAGM90V is all new from the Masterworks series.

The K Yairi KY RAGM90V has a lot to say, especially considering her size.
Certainly one of the true parlour 12 fretters out there !

The resonance and vibrant response is impressive with even light strumming or picking, trebles are crystal clean, and the bass response is indecent.

The right hand response is soft and immediate. I'm always impressed by how precise these small guitars are, absolutely everything is audible.

But it is the balance that also is surprising, just the right amount of everything. Pretty inspiring actually.

Subtle nuances are apparent with fingerstyle. Note that the shorter scale gives a somewhat softer, more mellow tone, compared to a 14 fret guitar. The definition in the attack of each note is very precise, the trebles are shiny without being overbearing. Basses are precise and present in the attack, without being boomy.

All solid Kayha Mahogany from Gabon for the back and sides, solid canadian sitka spruce top. Note the choice of wide veined wood to give maximum bass response.

The finest choice of naturally aged woods from the legendary workshops of K Yairi, selected and sorted over the years. A thin satin poly finish is particularly durable.

Finish and setup are impeccable.
Light and vibrant, with response that allows modulation and expression.

Discreetly classy abalone and mother of pearl inlays ornate the purling and headstock.

Gotoh machineheads, ebony tuning knobs. Really precise, and frankly very tasteful.
Nut and bridge in bone.

43 mm at the nut. 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 because of the extended neck design reaching further under the table.
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.
Delivered in a hardcase.

Pure acoustic, no electronics.
