There was an external pickup unit once installed on the guitar top. It now shows fading in two places where the unit was located. The bridge has a small shim and shows a minor split in the edges of the wood, neither affects the sound or playability of the guitar. (See Photos) The body has a few small dings and surface scratches that would be common for a guitar of this age. That said, the instrument sounds fantastic. Solid low end and distinct highs, the volume is excellent. New strings and fret leveling makes the action on this guitar feel like new. 1/4" jack remains as the bottom strap holder.
Alvarez Yairi fans will love the sound and feel of this one.
