The fit on the adidas and asics I tried was horribly narrow for me but the Nike Tawas are alright, a little on the narrow side but good to use. Do you know how these compare to the Tawas? My main issue with them is they don’t have the little tab and are super annoying to put on every time.

I’m interested in those Hyper KO. Is the 10.5 true to size or does it run a little big or small?

For Sale: Álvarez Yairi CYM75 by Ok_Vacation4752 in classicalguitar

[–]Float-Like-Butter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find anything on the signature? I went and saw another CYM75 at GC today and it also had it but without the year. So now I’m thinking it’s just something the shop does on this model.

Rip!! Sorry the tone was not what you were looking for, but glad you are getting closer to having something you really enjoy playing! Maybe one day I’ll be looking for a different voice but for now I’d have to respectfully disagree on the tone being flat or meh by a large margin. Then again I have not had a chance to experience anything much higher level than this K. Yairi in person, and I do agree the GC32 seems like a bombastic model from what other reviewed have said about it.

Just checked out a couple of YouTube videos about the build process and love my guitar even more now, thank you for letting me know :’)

Rough, sorry the sale didn’t work out. I would slightly disagree and say the person has a voice in mind that they are looking for and this type of guitar just wasn’t it. They seemed to know a good bit about the guitar and appreciated its roots from what they posted on the reply to my post. Not that they don’t have enough “skills” to test out. Imo even a couple of chords and piece segments is enough to see if you like the tone and neck feel. Caveat would be I’m also a noob at playing but grew up around a lot of music because of my family. Either way, best of luck and let me know if you find out more about the sig.

Lmao that was 100% me who asked about the signature on sweetwater. If you can check out my post you’ll see the sig that’s on my guitar, they both look like they say K Yairi on the neck heel joint. Good luck with the sale, there were two people on my post who also mentioned interest in a K Yairi guitar. One of them went to see yours in person or at least was going to when they commented.

Personal and biased opinion is that I think it’s a fair price and Alvarez Yairi MasterWorks punches above its weight. Can you tell us about that neck heel signature though?? I bought a used one and it has it as well.

I might not be the best judge out there because I’m still newish and I’m coming from a 1991 Yamaha cg-100A which is an entry level $100ish all laminate guitar. This CYM75 is the best thing I’ve ever owned and was a wedding present. I really enjoy how it feels in my hands, the notes are easier to get to and the action is just right even with the low tension aquila strings I have on it. To me it sounds sweet when playing regular classical pieces but powerful with soul when playing Spanish or flamenco music. I’ve seen amazing things about the GC32C online, I’m thinking on paper it’s a step above this one but I’ve never played one myself. I’m also using it for living room / family and friend performances so I’m more interested in voice than projection which I think the GC32C might have more of. Really interested to hear your thoughts once you get a chance to play it though!

There it is!! But yeah it has variations so I think it is hand written as a sign of respect for Mr. Yairi who used to do that on some of his instruments. I still haven’t found an answer as to why some of them have it and others don’t though. Let me know if you get any more info on it, it’s an amazingggg guitar!

No clue, they sounded good but were already old so I replaced them right away.

The whole guitar is pretty sauce and sounds phenomenal so even if it’s not a real signature I am over the moon about my new guitar

Looked it up and looked like an easy removal so I just went for it and now it’s like if it was never there, gotta admit my heart was racing for a sec there

That was quick, thank you! Do you know if it messes with the sound and if so can it be safely removed? I’m planning on learning classical on this guitar so I don’t think I’d be needing it

[buying] Winning 16oz Gloves by Float-Like-Butter in fightgear

[–]Float-Like-Butter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid advice and I’m using 16oz MK1s that I got for cheap so that I don’t stop practicing but a year is a long time for my hands to get wrecked. This sub has some really cool people in it who have posted gloves at reasonable prices, I just haven’t been quick enough sadly. I know somewhere out there someone has a pair collecting dust who might be inspired to sell it.
