#AlvarezCloseup with the Yairi FYM66HD, our Solid Vintage Honduran Mahogany guitars. This magical line of guitars came about almost by accident. We were detailing the specs of a guitar we were making for Nashville-based guitar genius Jack Pearson and thought Adirondack spruce paired with Honduran mahogany would be the best combination needed for the artist’s tonal requests.
Mr. Yairi amassed an incredible amount of tonewood throughout his life and although most is in or around the factory, some was stored on a piece of land he owned some miles away. We would go and see the wood on every trip. It became a ritual after lunch, but because most of it had darkened due to the elements we were never sure what all of it was. He may have been thinking, “One day they will realize what is in here…”
That day came, and what we found in terms of tonewood was pure gold: Perfectly conditioned billets of old growth Honduran mahogany that had been naturally seasoning for around 50 years…unbelievable.
Had we not discussed Honduran for Jack Pearson’s guitar, we would not have started the conversation at the factory that led us to discovering there was Honduran on the land, and we may have never known it was there. This series celebrates this amazing wood, arguably the best tonewood of all, while also celebrating Mr. Yairi’s commitment to his art through his lifetime and beyond.

On this day in music history, July 2, 2005: U2 performed in Hyde Park, London, to open the Live 8 concert. The band was joined by Sir Paul McCartney for “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,” released online that day and setting a world record for the fastest-selling digital single. From the #AlvarezVault: some stellar shots of Bono and Paul McCartney with their Yairi guitars.
