THANK YOU, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GREAT VIDOES AND GUITARS

Love you guys back! 😂

I replaced my pins on a Gibson Gospel and a D28 copy of a Martin, with brass ones and I got louder sound and more sustain. They do have a noticeable difference. I use lights and extra lights strings also.

Really smooth performance! The Alvarez Yari sounds amazing!!

Happy holidays ❤❤❤

Yes but for crying out loud please STOP screwing the strap lug into the open end of the neck heel. This is the worst place on a guitar to place it and I’ve seen enough damaged neck heels to support my opinion. The much safer and stronger position on the heel is where every other guitar maker places it, on the side of the heel.

Bro that chicken run was killer 😂😂😂

this my favorite warm up tune when I pick up my Maton TE808! Great groove, Gareth.

"Windy and Warm" Written by John D. Loudermilk and was presented to Chet Atkins and he immediately decided to record it. He release it on his album "This is Chet Atkins" It was later recorded by Doc Watson who won a Grammy for it. Many other guitarist have released it in various different versions. Notably Tommy Emanuel, Tony Rice and the Kruger Brothers. A few players put it in their repertoire to be at times played on stage. However, many players like Billy Strings, Trey Hensley, and Richard Smith who all have the talent to play it properly but due to it being such a classic refrain from adding it to their shows unless they are paying homage to either Chet or Doc.

This LD70e top looks beautiful. Merry Christmas!

GA on the way. Thank you for helping me make up my mind.

Love

Yumyum... I own the AP66shb e, and it's got a lovely deep 'tone' that I adore... but that all mahagony has a very expensive voice. Holy cats. Like silk velvet compared to rayon velvet. Im serious. 😂 both are gorgeous, but when you touch the silk, you know how fine it is.

Saw him open for Tommy Emmanuel a few years ago, just a boy but jaw dropping . Still got it

Thank you Chris and Lee! Alvarez is really knocking it outta d'park! Who thinks Honduran mahogany surprising overtones are Yairi bridge related?? More micro delay than traditional overtones?

From Santa Fe, NM I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with music and good times with our Alvarez guitars. Thank you for your dedication and love for a job well done.

My master works mahogany Is a master work.

Love the video but the amount of jump cuts at the beginning was a bit jarring.

brilliant .... thank you :-)

What about the JP Cormier yairi signature. Are you still going to release them ?

I don't know why, but I am looking forward to some new guitar in the artist series... Maybe a grand concert style guitar. Merry xmas

This is 100% Chet Atkins,

What happened to the archtops? Great couple of videos a year ago. Maybe rolling out in 2025???

Great jam, gentlemen...Merry Christmas...sat on the GYM74 order for way too long, and it never showed up. Decided on a MG75CE and it has been a sonic blessing.

Beautiful Gents... Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! I absolutely do not need another guitar… However I’m obsessed with that Yairi GYM70!! One day I may have to get one!!

Merry Christmas!

Liked the video and new subscriber, nice new guitars. Happy Holidays.

I was told by the Australian distributor that Yiari isn’t available in Australia?

I have a WY-1 that I got way back in the 90's. Love that guitar. It's my main acoustic guitar, and the best playing one in comparison to a D35, or an F400, or a J 45. I recommend Alvarez for an acoustic guitar for anything, and I've played a ton of guitars

Chris Meikle and his team continue to amaze.

Music stores in the states are figuring out how special the Alvarez Yairi models are.

I love that Daybreak color

Merry Christmas to all of you. My AD66SHB continues to amaze me.

My FYM66HD arrived so my Christmas is early. Merry Christmas guys! Love your channel.

Merry Christmas!

Wonder 🎄thank you guys

I agree with black!

From SW Colorado; Merry Christmas to all y’all “over there!” I really appreciate all the info you provide along with the banter and playing! Quite candidly, it all really makes me want to buy an Alvarez. Just so ya know😉

You can get a close approximation of brass bridge pins by glueing four quarters (21.5 grams) to the bridge and using the stock plastic bridge pins to hold the strings.

I could live 100 lifetimes and not be this good. Super dope! My ear thank you!

This is a good video. Very informative. I love my Yairi!

I've always avoided using flat sawn mahogany for making my guitars but after watching this video I think I've changed my mind. Can't wait to start one.

excellent demo, thank you!

I would play either...happily

Damn the one without cutaways is so nice! What was the nut width on this? I suspect there might be interest from players who are more used to a bigger acoustic type width.

WONDERFUL 👍

I brought my DY-71 to a bluegrass jam and was sitting next to someone who had a really nice Collings and he was amazed, getting somewhat jealous over the sound was getting out of an old “beater” I bought for $350 on EBay!

My ears fell off

Wonderful
