K Yairi YF-20 Parlour Acoustic Guitar, Natural, Slot Head 12 Fret with Hard Case (pre-owned)

Japanese craftsmanship. Timeless elegance.

Built by the hands of K. Yairi’s master luthiers during the company’s golden era, this 1982 YF-20 is a stunning example of how refined and resonant a parlour guitar can be. The 12-fret, slot-head design brings vintage charm, while Yairi’s meticulous Japanese craftsmanship ensures a voice that’s articulate, balanced and effortlessly musical. Despite its smaller body, it projects with surprising warmth and clarity; the kind of tone that only comes from an aged, quality instrument.

Playability is excellent, with only light fret wear in the lower positions and a smooth, responsive feel throughout the neck. The body shows just a few gentle impressions and handling marks, all subtle and consistent with careful use over time. There are no dings, cracks or structural concerns, just a beautifully preserved, naturally opened up acoustic that’s ready to play.

Elegant, understated and alive with character, this YF-20 captures the essence of Yairi’s legacy; a handmade instrument that rewards every touch with depth, warmth and unmistakable soul.
