K.Yairi 00-21B New Yorker (2008)

The K.Yairi NY0021B (New Yorker) is a handmade high-end Japanese acoustic guitar from the K.Yairi factory in Kani, Japan. K.Yairi is world-renowned for decades of naturally seasoned tonewood and manufacturing quality that rivals the best American premium guitars. The NY0021B interprets the classic New Yorker 00 body shape – compact, with a 12-fret neck joint and slotted headstock – with a rosewood body and Sitka spruce top. The sound is "woody" and resonant: deep bass, distinctive mids with the typical "honk" of the 00 body shape, and crystal-clear highs with the sustain of premium rosewood. An instrument for players who want to play fingerstyle, blues, and ragtime at the highest level. Comes with a case in collector's condition.

Material and Construction

• Top – Solid, hand-selected Sitka Spruce: Decades of naturally seasoned wood – exceptionally stable and mature.
• Back & Sides – East Indian Rosewood: Deep, creamy bass and sparkling overtones – in combination with the seasoned spruce top, this creates a balanced, characterful sound with plenty of sustain.
• Slotted Headstock, 12-Fret: Traditional construction with neck joint at the 12th fret – the bridge sits deeper in the body, giving the small 00 body shape surprisingly much bass foundation and volume.
• Nut Width 46 mm & Scale Length 632 mm: The wide nut width offers maximum space for demanding fingerstyle and comes close to the feel of a classical guitar. The medium scale length of 632 mm combines comfortably reduced string tension with excellent dynamics and intonation.
• K. Yairi Craftsmanship: Each guitar is handcrafted – precise fretting, careful wood selection, and a depth of manufacturing that is unparalleled in this price range.
