Features : 7
Made in 1994, dreadnaught style, solid cedar top, round soundhole, maple/wood body binding, abalone shell rosette, burled mahogany back/sides, mahogany neck, 14/20 fret ebony fingerboard/12th fret pearl diamond/abalone slash inlay, rosewood bridge with black abalone dot pins, burl mahogany veneer on peghead with abalone/wooden strip inlays, abalone logo peghead inlay, 3 per side gold tuners with amber buttons. Scalloped bracing.

Not really fancy but nice.

Sound : 10
Beautiful when finger picked, sustains forever. Mellow, yet clearly defined notes when strummed.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
Best action on an acoustic guitar that I have ever come across. The neck is quite thin and easy to handle. Fit and finish are top-notch throughout. The woods used in all parts of the guitar are flawless. Bindings and inlays are very well done.

Though not fancy, this guitar just screams quality.

Even the case is of good quality. Has feet on one side and on the end so the case does not sit directly on the floor. Also comes with a combo lock. Nice touch.

Reliability/Durability : 7
Structurally well constructed but probably not the most durable guitar in the world. Has a cedar top which I am told is very easy to scratch/dent. I am very careful with the guitar and always keep it in it's case when it is not being played.

They guitar is very light but I am not sure if that is because of the construction or the cedar top.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 9
I have been playing about 3 years and wanted to move up from a Seagull S6+ Spruce. This guitar is in a completely different class from the Seagull, which was not a bad guitar itself. Overall the guitar sounds as good as it looks. Not a lot of glitz, just great sound and attention to build detail.

1996 Yairi DY-61 Signature Series Acoustic. Handmade in Japan. Solid Cedar Top with Kasuo Yairi signature on the cedar top. Clear pick- guard. Ebony bridge. Ebony fretboard with abalone slash at 12th fret. Headstock with inlaid A-V logo. One piece mahogany neck. Burled mahogany back and sides.

Sound : 10
The sound on this guitar is refined, crisp and bright. Great for fingerstyle (cedar top) but also excellent sound when strummed. Sound stays clear not muddy.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
Action is low and fast. No flaws seen at all on this guitar. This burled mahogany is rare as I have only seen Gibson and Taylor offer it and they were outrageously expensive. The abalone rossette, A-V inlay on headstock and the abalone 12th fret slash are very high quality. Gold tuners are as good as I have seen.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Guitar has no scratches or dings, straight neck, no bellying behind bridge. and appears to be very well made but would not recommend dropping it.

Customer Support : 9
Tom Kruzka the technical person at St. Louis Music usually can answer any question I have about Yairi's and sell specific parts, saddles,nuts etc.

Overall Rating : 10
Playing guitar off and on over 30 years. Several Yair's. Two Martins. One Gibson, one Fender Strat. One Ovation acoustic bass. If this guitar were lost or stolen I would try to replace because it has a very lively bright sound different then any other guitar I own or have played. But since this has been out of production, it would not be an easy proposition to replace it. If I couln't get this would probably replace with a Yairi DY-91 Koa model as that also has a nice bright sound, although it is much different sound then the DY-61. Another guitar that is cedar top and similar sounding is the Breedlove mahogany with cedar top.
