I just received the DYM74 that I ordered nearly three months ago. It is a a lightweight stunner with exceptional response and resonance. It absolutely loves a light touch, but the Redwood top doesn't seem to have the headroom of a spruce/rosewood combination. I believe it is "Gibson J45 loud" but not "Martin D-28 loud". (Just an observation - not a problem.) The DYM74 is EASILY the best playing and sounding guitar that I own. Point of interest: If you search online pics, you'll notice there is no center back strip; my production model has a cream/white strip -- which looks great. This is an heirloom quality instrument that I'll pass to my children. If you're interested in buying one, contact the good people at Alamo Music Center in San Antonio. ✌️
I've been playing guitar for 60 years. Never played an Alvarez Yairi until a couple of months ago. Strange because I'm a huge fan of Jerry Garcia and he played one. (BRING BACK THE GY-1). Anyway, after trying one I've bought three, a DYM60HD, a FYM60HD, and a FYM70. I've pre-ordered a PYM66HD. These guitars are like crack to me. Can't get enough. I also have a couple of old Martins, Santa Cruz, and an old J-45. Haven't touched them since I discovered Alvarez Yairi. That's not to say that I don't love those guitars, it's just that these Yairi guitars have some special mojo...a combination of old and new. Get ready for the predictable purists who will enter this comment section to say that Alvarez sucks compared to Martin, Gibson etc. This will be coming from keyboard warriors who have probably never played an Alvarez guitar.
You nailed it and wrote the absolute truth about all those people buying with their eyes instead that with their ears: "This will be coming from keyboard warriors who have probably never played an Alvarez guitar."
Have you gotten your fym66hd? I’m currently interested in this model how does it compare to the fym60hd and fym70hd. I’m curious since you own all of the om models:)
@@kamarienedwards1757 I love the FYM66HD but it doesn't get used as much as the DYM60HD and the FYM60HD. It's more of a specialty guitar for recording. It doesn't project like the others but has a unique softer tone. Perfect guitar for sitting on the couch and playing. My favorite, because it's the most practical for me, is the FYM60HD.
The most Beautiful sounding guitars i have ever heard, I am hoping to someday afford a solid body Alvarez, I'm part of the praise and worship at my church and play a cheap Fender that just doesn't sound right to me. I've lost my job welding, got diagnosed with narcolepsy, neutral migraines and neuropathy in my legs. Now every place I apply for work turns me down, so I'm having to go to work at a fast food restaurant for less than half the pay I used to make. All my bills are behind and I am just praying to get through but when and if i ever can I love the MD60EBG and the non cutaway dreadnought guitars.
my heart goes out to you Mr. Beard. I've never experienced those medical conditions, especially not that many all at once, but i do know the pain of not being able to play. i was homeless for a time and had to sell both of my guitars, (Guild and Martin), so that i could eat. but after i ate, my spirit was still empty from having not been able to play for a while. Eventually i was able to invest in my very first Alvarez, the RD26, and nobody could pay me enough to trade her for a Martin lol! I know that the Lord will bring you through somehow and He won't not deny you the gift of the guitar that you so deeply long for! I've worked in fast food myself so i know about that as well. somehow, someway, God will take a time that seems bad and turn it into something good for you and he will bless you with that Alvarez! I know it, because, well, literally speaking, God only wants the best (Alvarez) for you so he he's going to bless you with it! stay faithful! stay strong!
There are many whose hearts are aching under a load of care because they seek to reach the world’s standard. They have chosen its service, accepted its perplexities, adopted its customs. Thus their character is marred and their life made a weariness. Continual worry is wearing out their life forces. Our Lord desires them to lay aside this yoke of bondage. He invites them to accept His yoke. He says, “‘My yoke is easy and My burden is light.’” Worry is blind and cannot discern the future, but Jesus sees the end from the beginning. In every difficulty He has His way prepared to bring relief. “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Matthew 11:30; Psalm 84:11. Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet. Let us be hopeful and courageous. Despondency in God’s service is sinful and unreasonable. He knows our every necessity. Our covenant-keeping God unites the gentleness and care of the tender shepherd with the omnipotence of the King of kings. His power is absolute, and it is the pledge of the sure fulfillment of His promises to all who trust in Him. He has means for the removal of every difficulty, that those who serve Him and respect the means He employs may be sustained. His love is as far above all other love as the heavens are far above the earth. He watches over His children with a love that is measureless and everlasting. In the darkest days, when appearances seem most forbidding, have faith in God. He is working out His will, doing all things well in behalf of His people. The strength of those who love and serve Him will be renewed day by day. He is able and willing to bestow upon His servants all the help they need. He will give them the wisdom that their varied necessities demand. Said the tested and faithful apostle Paul: “He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Isaiah 58:11 NKJV I highly recommend reading "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN" ELLEN G. WHITE 1888 , REV. 1911
omg these beauties! absolutely breathtaking! lol just the slightest touch and you can almost have ca while conversation through the duration of the sustain. they basically play themselves lol!

e my eye teeth for that first parlor guitar !!! WOW IS THAT EVER STUNNING !!! I know how amazing all of my Alvarez' sound that I have had over the years , I cannot imagine these babies ???
I'm commenting before I watch. You had BETTER play the PYM60SB. **so let down** lol Let's get a comparison of the 2 parlors. Can't beat the look of the sunburst model. But I'd love to hear the 66 against it. A Yairi parlor shootout would be killer! The pym70, pym60hd, pym66 and the pym60.
This guitars look amazing. I think they will be a huge success and continue to sell well. As the original line of Honduran has done. I bought a Fym60hd a little over a year ago. I certainly am not going to spend four to five thousand to replace it with any brand guitar. I can't imagine a guitar that would feel as comfortable and enjoyable to play. Or sound as nice as it does. As far as the lighter bracing on the new series. My Fym60hd weighs 3lbs 14oz. For an OM guitar. I don't think being lighter would necessarily be a good thing. But for guitar players who don't own the original Yairi Honduran then the new guitars could be a great addition to their collection. But being an original owner, my thoughts are: it's hard to improve on perfection. Take Taylor for example. Is the newer V class bracing really better than the original X bracing? Maybe, maybe not. Might sound different but not necessarily better.
I have three Yairis from the 70's. I also have two regular Alvarez guitars. I'm loyal to Alvarez and Yairi but, the new Yairi models are getting as expensive, if not more, than Martins and Taylors. While they may sound better, for resale value they can't match what those other two brands can get. At least for now..... You might be better off buying a new Alvarez Laureate model for much less money.
They’re not more expensive than Martins and Taylors. And they’re far superior to any Martins or Taylors in their price range. Can’t refute what you’re saying about resale value, but then again, I don’t buy Yairis to resell. If you want to resell, then there are many options. If you want an heirloom quality, handmade guitar for under $2.5k, you can’t do better than a Yairi, IMO.
I mean, that's guitars. Gibson re-invents the Les Paul and it flops or takes off. Bourgeois, Boucher, Collings, Santa Cruz, or Yairi revoices their guitars to be better.
I can almost sense the spirit of Mr. Yairi in the sounds of these guitars. The Yairi factory must be a magical place to be.
You bet. They are GREAT instruments.
The warmth in the tone of that redwood top 🤩

That Yairi DMY74 looks so and sounds so excellent and I'm so tempted!

So good guy's, just love the passion and the ongoing progressive adjustments Alvarez is making. Unique Videos and so interesting to watch. "Thanks"👍👍
Blissfully astonished!
Are the Yairi series available in the UK ?

I love my NY0021B. Far and away the best small bodied acoustic I know of.
Is the new bracing system more responsive and touch sensitive than the previous bracing ?
Hay Chris I'm looking to get a Dy70ce any chance for a demo. ❤

Would love to try any of the Honduran mahogany guitars in England. I visited the US last year, but no one had them in stock to try.
Yes! should be out by the end of next month, please go check out Anderton's and GuitarGuitar. 🙌

Ha! Love it, thanks for tuning in. 🙌
OK. Very nice. So my DYM60HD is obsolete?! How about my Cedar Top DYM65? I'm disgusted.
Yeah you should just send them to me. I’ll take em off your hands for a fair price. 😊
Dude, You're no help. :-)@@benwood7132
Look at them as the original models using the Honduran and AAAA Adirondack. They will always be special guitars. I wouldn't trade mine for any guitar!
I love mine as well. I like them more than my 2018 D-18 and 2002 Gibson 1934 AJ. @@johnjones-uc3ni
