2007 Alvarez Yairi DYM-96 - Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
The DYM96 Dreadnought has a unique, distressed solid spruce top giving it that worn-in Vintage Look. Solid Ovangkol body and sides help promote outstanding projection and articulate response. This guitar also features Tortoise body bindings, Abalone Soundhole Rosette and Ebony Fingerboard. The voice is loud and strong and this one has been well-cared for but is fully open. It also includes a McIntyre Feather pickup installed by Dream Guitars.

Player Reviews:
"This guitar offers a lot of tone for the price. The setup is terrific and it has a McIntyre Feather pickup, one of our very favorite passive pickups. This is a great choice for a workhorse/gigging guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has a nice balanced sound for strumming. The intentionally worn top has a kind of charm that grows on you. I also like the bronze like tuners that round off the primitive feel of the instrument." - Al Petteway
